LCD Panel lotto game

[pcslookout]

Is there any other lcd brand that doesn't play the lcd panel lotto game except NEC ? Even HP does it now. Not sure if thats old news or not. Do you think NEC will start doing it or will they keep using IPS panels in their medium to high quality lcd monitors ?

There is a new NEC 22-inch monitor with unknown panel:

ASLCD223WXM

It is a TN, but they are claiming 170°(H) / 170°(V) vision angles, which is either revolutionary or inflationary.

And what is this XtraView wide-angle technology? Strange to have a wide-angle claim for a TN monitor.

I would be curious to know the panel it uses and am wondering if NEC will stick with this panel or go the lottery way.

I bet its not a IPS panel. To cheap to be. Has to be TN or MVA

Of course. If it was IPS, they would claim 178 degrees vision angles.
I am still looking forward to see if this NEC offering in the 22-inch range has something special to offer. Could NEC have found a way to increase the problematic vertical viewing angle of TN panels?

The thing is those viewing angle numbers are pretty meaningless for a TN panel. Can you still see the contents of the screen from that angle? Yes. But it will look like complete crap because it will be way too light or dark (depending on what angle you're viewing from). So yeah, they can claim that as the viewing angle because it's still viewable, just barely.

I don't think that is what he means by the lcd lotto. I think he means dead pixel policy. Only NEC has a Zero dead pixel policy.

NEC doesn't have a zero dead pixel policy.

As for the question at hand, NEC so far as been the most consistent supplier of IPS-driven consumer monitors. It would be very unlike them to do a panel lottery, I would expect that things would stay at status quo and use different model numbers for monitors using different panels.
