ImageQuest L90D+ 19" LCD Monitor 8ms DVI $379

Yeah, it is a good deal. But I was really suggesting that the OTHER thread become a 19" LCD thread. There are just sooo many good deals right now on 19" LCD's!!
 
I ordered one of these monitors today from Newegg. Estimated delivery is Monday (31st), but hopefully it will arrive Friday. I will report back once I have a chance to test it out.

Ditto. I was just trying to find that out, because it looks like Newegg fudged their stats again. Too bad.

Once response times get down to a "posted" 1ms and people start realizing that there doesn't seem to be any difference between their last LCD, maybe they will start to ask questions about how the specs are calculated.
 
Its not quite as bad as it can only display 260k colors, I wouldn't be comfrotable with that either. Each pixel can only display 262k colors individually, so it uses hardware dithering. Unless you are pressed with your face against the screen, its unnoticible.

I watched a few movies on it now and can make a few comments.

- Its very bright, much brighter than my CRT.
- Same with contrast.
- Colors appear virutally identical to my viewsonic CRT in bright scenes.
- The blacks are about the same on the lcd and my crt
- In dark scenes, on some movies (matrix) it looks exactly as its supposed to, nice vibrant colors, but on some others (daredevil) it seems to look a bit dull or cartoony. I suspect this is a function of the dithering and the trouble it has when all the colors are bland and dark.
- As far as the shimmering thing I have read about, I cannot find it for the life of me.


If you are a perfectionist and know that you are gonna have a nagging feeling eating at you if you have a monitor where each pixel cannot produce all 16.7 million colors, (the industry estimate for the dithering is 16.2 million) then don't buy this. Don't think that somehow this is a CGA monitor though, it is a 19" LCD made by samsung... its not like software dithering when you change to 16bit color in windows.
 
This monitor is a rebadged Samsung SyncMaster 913N/915N with DVI added (same everything else.. including buttons). If you want more information about it, search for that model on google.

Umm...take a look at Hyundai's quality of ownership and reliability records dude, I think maybe then you would want to take back your dig at their cars.
