Very nice I'm looking forward to next year when I can buy an widescreen LCD.

Just a question:
I tried LCD once and was so miffed at the 18-bit panels that I went back to CRT. Banding everywhere...ugh.
Is the colour reproduction really that good nowadays on a TFT ?
I mean, is it equivalent of a mid-range CRT ?
I have been looking for a new screen, and they only do Flatpanels now...I missed the opportunity to get a Mitsubishi 24" CRT a year or so ago...
edit : (not meaning to highjack thread, just asking if you can still blatantly see the difference between a crt and a TFT)Last edited by Evildead666; 8 December 2006, 11:18.PC-1

Since its a samsung, does it suffer from "Magicbright"? (bright enough to be used as a projector)

Good question. The Samsung 740B I have at work is set to 25% brightness, and it's still pretty intense.Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards.

I believe the Dell I have is made by Samsung, and I have the brightness set to 0.
And no sign of banding (unless it's connected to a parhelia
)
Yeah, well I'm gonna build my own lunar space lander! With blackjack aaaaannd Hookers! Actually, forget the space lander, and the blackjack. Ahhhh forget the whole thing!Comment

Oh yeah, it's bright...really bright. Using the DVI input it is "Hiroshima-bright", the Magitune software is mandatory to tone things down. The analog input is a fair bit less less blinding. The display is fast and has a decently-wide off-axis view (horizontal is excellent, but vertical can be a bit touchy.)
Color reproduction is stunning. HD content was incredibly sharp. With DVD content it is easy to spot flaws in the DVD recording.
There is some backlight leakage around the edges, but it is only noticeable when the monitor is in a "no signal" state. When the display is active, leakage is all but unnoticeable.
The monitor has a main power rocker switch in the back and a momentary on-off switch on the front bezel, which is a nice touch when relocating hardware and the like.Hey, Donny! We got us a German who wants to die for his country... Oblige him. - Lt. Aldo RaineComment
