Well, I've been hearing a lot of people on forums saying that most of these 22" LCD's right now are using the same TN panel and to disregard any inflations on numbers like the contrast on the sceptre being 1200:1, it's not noiticeable. But I think I read someone say that the ChiMei one actually does have 330cd on it, and that the picture is a lot nicer and more comparable to IPS panels than some of the other 22" TN panels out there.
Then again, someone else mentioned that the Samsung 225BW 22" is actually a true 8-bit panel, not a 6-bit panel dithered like the chimei/sceptre/viewsonic/acers/benq 22"'s. I don't know if that's true or not, but if it is it would be worth the extra coin.
I wish they carried these sceptre and chimei monitors in local B&M's so I could make a better choice since there's not too much info available. I do know they carry the samsung 225BW 22" LCD in most local B&M's, since that's a pretty popular monitor. And it will probably be cleared out in a lot of circuit city stores on friday since the black friday price is supposed to be $280 for it.
