| 777825 | 2009-05-29 01:46:00 | Get the 2209WA. It is the same price (currently) but it far superior image quality (viewing angles, contrast, colour accuracy as well as number of colours). The 2209WFP is a TN panel, meaning it can only display 262k colours and uses dithering to produce 16.7m. Also viewing angles are poor. The 2209wa is an IPS panel. Copied from a previous post: You can check which panel a certain screen has here: www.tftcentral.co.uk The main LCD panel types are: TN: Lowest cost, worst viewing angles and colour reproduction, low image processing lag. Apparently best for fast paced gaming, worst for image editing and professsional work where colour accuracy is important. TN panels can only display 262k colours natively and use dithering to display 16.7m. *VA (MVA, PVA, S-PVA): Middle of the road, better viewing angles and colour reproduction, typically high image processing lag (as high as 64ms!). Typically best black levels and contrast. Can display 16.7m colours but unfortunately (or fortunately if you're a design professional) most newer panels of this type are wide gamut, meaning sRGB images are oversaturated in non colour managed applications. Can suffer from slight horizontal contrast shift (like TN's vertical contrast shift, but not as obvious) IPS (S-IPS, H-IPS): Most expensive technology, viewing angles and colour reproduction almost as good as (or even better than) that of a CRT, medium image processing (between 20-40ms). Almost all are wide gamut (which is a disadvantage, or an advantage depending on how you look at it). No contrast shift. All panel types have similar response times so ghosting is not really a problem anymore. Although some panels use overdrive, so you get a 'negative' ghosting effect, depending on the background eg on the TN (viewsonic 22") I'm using now, there is a slight ghosting trail, which isn't noticable on my IPS screen. So in this instance, TN has worse ghosting than IPS, even though the TN has a "quicker" documented (5ms for TN, 6ms for IPS) response time. |

| 777826 | 2009-05-29 01:59:00 | Thanks Speedy, It's just that I'm tight for room on my desk and 15" just didn't seem high enough. My current 17" monitor is that high, but it does have the buttons and speakers along the bottom, so OK. Thanks again Don |
