| 729181 | 2008-12-15 04:51:00 | AOC, unsure of model. It's 17 inch. I can put it in 1280*720 but I have to change the monitor settings on the monitor (screen dimensions) so it ends up being letter-boxed. The graphics card is a ASUS nvidia Geforce 7600GS | davidmmac (4619) | ||
| 729182 | 2008-12-16 02:21:00 | So am I right in saying that it's not the type of the screen that counts, it's the resolution it can display? | davidmmac (4619) | ||
| 729183 | 2008-12-16 02:23:00 | I would say both | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 729184 | 2008-12-16 03:40:00 | HD is concerned with resolution, not the type of screen, that is correct. But be aware there are different types of LCD screens. (copied from a previous post) You can check which panel a certain screen has here: www.tftcentral.co.uk TN: Cheapest, narrow 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 (can be as high as 64ms on some models!). 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. |
