Finally, does anyone know if there is a forthcoming DoubleSight version of the LCD3090?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know, but I might expect something like it. They already have a decent 26" and lower lineup.

Yes we are actually getting ready to release a new Product Family of LCD Monitors. The new model information will be available from our retailers in about a week. The actual products will ship late July. The models and their panels are as follows:
New 5 Series for July:
DS-245W - 24" S-PVA
DS-265W - 26" LG-IPS
DS-275W - 27" S-PVA
DS-305W - 30" LG-IPS
So if you can wait a few weeks, we would appreciate you giving ours a try.
Sincerely,
Dario

Hi I am new here and was reading through as much as I could about this thread. I am looking to get a larger LCD monitor. I have been looking at two monitors one of them being the Double Sight DS-263N that comes highly recommended and people have had nice things to say about it, and at $720 + shipping I do not think that is a bad price.
Another monitor I had been looking at is Samsung 275T+ At $980 + shipping it is a bit more than the Double Sight.
I want a monitor that is more than 24" and am willing to spend around $1000, I would use it primarily for gaming, and occasional movie watching but mostly gaming. I guess I want to know if there are some other monitors I should be looking at? Does the extra $260 for the Samsung worth it? Any help would be appreciated and if anyone has anymore suggestions for monitors in that price range I should be looking at please let me know.
Thank you.

i just came across a deal for the dell 3008WFP for $1500, but honestly, the only thing holding me back from it is because i don't see it on the first post here! LOL I was wanting the LCD3090, but not for more than $1600. so, here i am. should i just get the dell?
edit - i'll be using it for photo/video editing, internet browsing & general office work, some high res gaming, & watching HDTV via satellite (in that order)

In my aging eyes text looked clearer on the 2490 monitor, especially smaller fonts, mainly because the slightly larger pixels on the 2690 did give them more of a jagged appearance.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't mean to imply you had inside info but you clearly know more about LCD monitors than I do.
I've had KDS CRTs in the past and they weren't bad and I really don't see a lot of difference in the specs for the 26" KDS or the 24" BenQ but they're the same price. The Sceptre is nice and cheap but no HDMI nor HDCP. The 24" KDS is cheap but has a low contrast ratio. That's all I can see, I hoped you might be able to see something that I missed.
I do spend less than 50% of my time gaming but I do want good gaming performance and I want movies/tv to look good too. When I do play games it's almost always FPS shooters. As far as my other workstation apps/web browsing/etc, any monitor would be fine.
My current basic HW specs are:
Abit ab9-pro
Intel C2D 6600
2G DDR2 Ram (handles 8G with 64Bit OS)
XP-Pro (may be upgrading to Vista64 when they work out more bugs)
Asus EN8800GT 512M (DVI (no HDMI))
HP p1230 22" CRT
Thanks for the input...

About the BenQ's:
I don't get why the V2400W is any better than the G2400W? The G2400W has less lag, and they both have the same inputs, color accuracy, and lousy viewing angles. Is the V2400W any better vertical viewing angle wise, if not then the G2400W is still the better monitor?

Does anyone have experience with the Hyundai W240D-PVA? Good deal, or are there better alternatives?
Cheers

xtknight, what an amazingly comprehensize resource this thread is! Thanks to you and everyone else that's helping out in here for the hard work. You've taken my LCD monitor selection paralysis to the next level.
I've honed in on the LG L227WT, natch, because I like to play lots of games. Before I jump on it, I want to confirm that it will perform well with a 360 and a ps3, too. All I want is solid 720p performance, or whatever will look good. I'm not too concerned about 360 performance, but I'm uncertain about how it'll do with a ps3. I don't even have one yet, but I want to be able to use it with my monitor when I do get one. The L227WT is HDCP compliant, so that's not a concern. Is there anything else I should be aware of before I purchase?
