That's a good one too and was on my list. I think the deciding factor was that the Samsung was actually in Best Buy the day I went to buy.
There are different types of LCDs based on the manufacturing process that built them but for the most part if you are looking in the consumer price range you are only going to see TN+ panels which have great response times but medicore to decent color reproduction and limited viewing angles. IPS or PVA displays tends to have great color reproduction (which you need if you are a graphics professional) and better viewing angles, but are generally more expensive. ------ Brian On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 10:43 PM, FORC5 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > curious about the different screens, seeing tft/tn etc. Hell they have some > over $2M.
