I'd take the Sun 24.1". It looks *very* cool

Yo,
They're all good, but none are great due to two main reasons:

1. Price
2. None can do 32 bit color (they all cap at 16 million)
-PCM

You are confusing 32-bit color with 32-bit RGBA (red, green, blue, alpha).

Video cards from nVidia and ATi are capable of 32-bit RGBA, which is 24-bit color + 8-bit alpha (transparency).

I don't think you can buy a video card that does 32 bit color. It's really 24 bit color and 8 bit alpha.

I don't even think it's possible to make 32bit RGB. You'd have to have more bits of one color than another.
There's really only two forms of RGB color - 24bit, and 48 bit. @$ bit is what's commonly used. it makes 16.7 million colors.

32 bit color is just 24bit RGB with 256 shades of alpha.

Sun's XVR-1000 graphics accelerator is capable of 38-bit RGBA (30-bit color + 8-bit alpha); and SGI's V10 and V12 graphics accelerators are capble of 48-bit RGBA (36-bit color + 12-bit alpha).

yeah but do they upport directx 8.1?



werent you leaving?

 

[Koing]

the Sun SCREEN LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!

 

[toant103]

wow, IBM can do 2048 x 1536 .

That's crazy. But i will only pick the Sun and Samsung cause it's 16:10. Don't like square panel anymore
