after using the Thinkpad T61 with super high resolution at 1680x1050, my eyes are hurting. Lowing it to 1440x900 just doesn't look as good. So I'm in the market for a LCD monitor, either 22" or 26". The models I'm seriously considering are
The reason I don't consider any other sizes, like 20" or 24" is because of the dot pitch. Both 22" and 26" gives you low dots per inch count, so you can comfortably use the monitor without lowering the resolution. see this wikipedia dot-pitch list for reference. Sometimes you see the same size LCD selling for vastly different price, like Samsung SyncMaster 245T selling for $679, while many other 24" LCD are going around $400. That's because most of consumer monitor uses cheap TN panels, while 245T uses better and pricier S-PVA panels. Apple's newest Aluminum 24" iMac uses H-IPS panels, which also beats TN panels, it's color looks just more natural and pleasing, and of course a lot more expensive. all above info are from wikipedia article. the normal specs like contrast, refresh rate, resolution doesn't tell the whole story about a monitor. If you buy a LCD monitor purely based on those spec, you're definitely mislead. I really likes the samsung 2693HM. $605 seems a bit pricey, but i might just bite the bullet and get it. toolsearch all lcd panel types: http://www.flatpanels.dk/panels.phpLCD shade, refresh rate test: http://tft.vanity.dk referencehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_pitchhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_lag http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php http://www.samsung.com/global/business/lcdpanel/downloads/2007_3Q_SpecBrochure.pdf |
