Samsung LCD Naming Convention

[WobbleWobble]

I was looking at the different models and got a little confused with model names on the lower end of the spectrum.

This is what I know (or what I think I know)

X = DVI, 16ms
T = DVI, 25ms
MP = TV Tuner, Coax, S-Video

Now where I get confused is the B, N, V, and S.

How do those models differ and how are they ranked?

N
S
B
P
T
X
MP

I think... X isn't out in the US yet. Also, don't forget about the contrast ratio and image brightness... T has 500:1 whereas X has 700:1. Samsung LCD's really stand out from the rest. I would recommend their LCD monitors to anyone.

Where would you fit V into the picture?

And can you tell me the differences between V, B, N, S?

Whoops, forgot about that one. W = widescreen (16:9) for those who don't know

Actually, the 173T has 700:1 and 191T-Plus has 750:1

Looks like a Job for.... ME.

B: VGA 15-pin only monitors
MP: TV tuner LCDs.
N: Multi-Monitor series. These monitors are designed to stack together, and have thing bezels.
S: System builder line, these are the monitors they use to rebrand to others usually. http://www.samsungbuilder.com
T: VGA and 15-pin D-sub LCDs. This is the flagship line.
V: Value line. Usually only in the 15" series.
W: Widescreen 16:9 monitors
X: The new series that isnt announced in the US yet. It has a low response time but I think the new contrast ratios are quite absurd.

Seems pretty easy. By the way, the 191T is $590 on newegg right now.

Cheers,
