Wii will be $249

I think the more interesting number is 250,000 yen Game systems rarely sell for more in the US than in Japan But if you convert 250,000 yen to american dollars using the 120 day high and low exhange rates you get a range of 208-225 american dollars maybe Nintendo will snag the...

20" Widescreen LCDs-am I the only one who doesn't understand the point of them?

As someone who wears glasses, I can say this. If I want to keep the entire vertical dimension of a screen framed by my glasses, I can sit alot closer to a 20.1" WS than a 20" 4:3. This allows me to make things (such as cells/fonts in excel) smaller on my screen relatively. Thus, I can make...

1905fp & 2005fpw backlight comparison

Two things #1. Different panel types from different companies were used in those Dell monitors. The 1905 is a MVA/PVA type which is characterized by a very dark black. The 2005 uses an IPS panel. These panels do not produce the deepest blacks. #2. A very tricky thing is ensuring that...

LCD Buyer's Guide

You may want to consider the Viewsonic VX724 if you care about fast response time the most. In the US, its cheaper than the VP730. As to the VP171b and the VP730b, I think it may have been a QA/yield issue or may just be to be consistent with the change from VP191b to VP930b which was an...

LCD Buyer's Guide

TN panels in general lack 3 things: #1. Viewing Angle (Although it is certainly sufficent for 1-2 people viewing) #2. Black Level is "high" (won't really notice if you play in a well lighted room) #3. Color Depth, 6-bit as opposed to 8-bit. This one is tricky because it really depends on...

Belinea 20.1" Widescreen LCD - (Update) It's a great monitor!

Given the Specs, it looks like a P-MVA panel I belive its typically types "10 20 35W" Check here for a better review BeHardware Review If thats the monitor you are talking about.. It will have some of the best response overall that is currently possible. It utilizes the overdrive...

Best LCD *strictly* for design 19"+

It seems like accurate color and large contrast are more important that fast response. Dell produces some large cheap monitors that fit that need (but they are not the greatest for colors without a calibrator) If the best color and consistent contrast are the goals, EIZO makes the best for...

Dual Core Laptop - WidowPC

Eh, I was pretty sure that Voodoo and Sager had a Dual Core notebook awhile ago... Not sure what why anyone could justify to themselves why to get such a monster... Edit: I agree with fbrdphreak. For the price of that Widow, you could buy two similar SFF systems with 2 fairly decent...

Anyone try the ViewSonic VA1912wb yet?

I image it is hardly noticable But certainly going from calibrated 8-bit use 6-12 hours a day to uncalibrated 6-bit is almost a pathelogical situation. I do notice the difference, and I usually can't correct it in 5 minutes or so...(maybe if I calibrated and played with the monitor...)

What do you guys think of the 2005fp?

Rest at ease All LCDs have slight backlight bleeding Older 2005 had some very bad batches. I believe the newer revisions are better (or people just don't complain as much) The 2005 is a wonderful monitor with very few peers. A pretty good choice.
