I happen to know that monitor.The word hernia comes to mind when trying to lift it. Produces 16.8 million colours. Missing pixels? What's that?
3D images are several times more realistic than LCD.
lol - very true, very hernia inducing!

I stick to monitors made by the people who make the LCD glass. Samsung is one of them. But if it is sharpness you want, you can't beat a CRT type monitor.
Manufacturing the LCD Panels and producing the final tweaked product are two entirely different things. I'm not saying Samsung is bad at all, some of their nicer displays are great. They do offer a lot of garbage though.

That's the Grade B stuff, knocked out cheaply. Many manufacturers do that, although they mostly sell it to other companies for inclusion in budget products. To get an idea of the scale of things, you need to go down to Kowloon and watch the containers being offloaded by K-Line with electronics components from Toshiba, Sony, etc.

Nah, it's Samsung having insane brightness and ugly color calibration on most all of their 19" LCD's. They calibrate decently if you can get some expensive gear and load some windows profiles to compensate, otherwise their 19" LCD's are pretty bizarre and overly bright. It has nothing to do with their budget lower graded panels, and everything to do with the CCFL's and factory tweaked & engineered settings.

Agreed, they are better but when someone is looking for general use monitors, I usually take it to mean that they're looking at one of the mass market (cheaper) models. Eizo and Apple monitors usually cost more than their competitors.
In this market, people are willing to pay for the name. But in reality the technology is almost identical. If you go to the store the differences are in the setting and the actual signal /etc. Anyway, unless you are doing professional work a monitor is a monitor, you will not be scrutinizing it etc. You can save so much money if you go with a no-name. Think of all the other cool things you can do with the money you save. In economics it's called opportunity cost - your next best option with your given resources. Apply it thoughtfully. Marketing is a powerful tool these companies use to make you fork over a premium for marginal differences in quality that mainly massage the ego, so be smart.
oookay! - i have hurt my back soo many times straining with damn pc monitors, at least TFTs eliminate that
