Well really this is one of the sites it looks crappy in the thread section.

I think if you had more experience configuring monitor settings, you might realize that each monitor has its own particular settings that generate the "standard" colors.
Brand preference should not be determined by "default" color settings.

While not bad in themselves for what they are designe to do (play games), it is not acceptable to people who do something else, such as photo editing or watching movies, where they value colour reproduction over response times. Most of the fast response times can be achieved because they use 6-bit TN panels, which can physically reproduce 262,144 colours, compared to 8-bit's capability of 16.7 million. Smart image processing algorithms called dithering can create the illusion of more colours for those 6-bit panels, but for people who are picky enough the colours will look "washed out" to them because of the lack of colours (basically losing shades of different colours).computron9000 wrote:If you want an S-PVA panel for better viewing angle, I've heard of people picking up the Doublesight 24" (Samsung S-PVA) for <$400 with coupons right now.
I dont understand what the big deal is about viewing angles... I mean, who the heck doesn't sit directly in front of their computer ??? Isn't response time more important?
