The successor to the SGI 1600SW--the F220.

SGI F220

There isn't much info about the F220 on the SGI web site, though.

i saw a review on it somewhere - was suprisingly luke warm

i believe (from my overtaxed memory) it was $5000

Ummm...it was just unveiled today at the NAB convention.

maybe i'm confusing it with the new apple 23"??
i am looking for a big LCD, and seem to recall rejecting the latest from SGI for some reason

is there something in between the 1600 and F220?

Are you confusing the F220 with the Samsung SyncMaster 240T?

 

[Bozo Galora]

ya, you got it now. Thats the expensive one that aint so hot.

i've read so many reviews its all a big blur.
i should know better than to post here without concentrating first.

I'm sorry, but those monitors pale in comparison to thisone by SUN.


Seriously, this one is THE BEST. I has the equivalent viewable area of a 27inch CRT

beat that, chump


PS. Exccuse the "chump" remark, I am just eager to inform people about this thing

I started a thread about the Sun display 3 weeks ago.

I believe the 1600SW has a .23dp. Then again the extra viewable space probably makes up for it.

The specifications listed on the PDF datasheet are sadly not that impressive.

Fine dot pitch of .294 mm for sharp image quality

No, this isn't the successor to the 1600sw.

It is, though.

Why couldn't they make a new LCD with the technology they used on the 1600sw?!?!?!?
