1169973	2011-01-16 00:49:00	Somewhere I've seen a website with monitor brands according to their type and quality. Now, of course, I can't find it. :( Is someone able to help? I'm sure I've seen reference to it here. TIA. :)	R.M. (561)
1169974	2011-01-16 01:26:00	Is this (http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/) it. :)	Trev (427)
1169975	2011-01-16 02:25:00	Useful, but no, that's not the one I had in mind. :(	R.M. (561)
1169976	2011-01-16 20:47:00	tftcentral has a panel lookup database so you can see which manufacturer made the panel (there are only a handful). It also lists which type of panel it is so you can get a pretty good indication of the quality.	utopian201 (6245)
1169977	2011-01-16 23:50:00	You're right - that is the site. It has changed it's appearance, and I think also that it discusses less options. But helpful. Ta. :)	R.M. (561)

The Samsung 22" I bought, based on excellent initial reviews, used significantly worse panels 6 months later (samsung model no. didnt change, despite using at least 3 different panels) i got one with the crappier panels :groan:	1101 (13337)

1169980	2011-01-17 04:35:00	... i got one with the crappier panels :groan: Aren't most Korean brands are crap stuff? :D Never like Korean made stuff - they look real good, but only externally!	bk T (215)
1169981	2011-01-17 05:04:00	Aren't most Korean brands are crap stuff? :D No. LG IPS panels are the the most widely available (and therefore cheapest) IPS panels. They are used in the high end HP, Dell, iMacs and Apple cinema displays. It doesn't matter which panel you have in your monitor or who made it, it won't be as good as an LG IPS.	utopian201 (6245)
