| 469234 | 2006-07-07 05:36:00 | i think my other LCD screen post might be a bit too specific..so i'im gona try again with this new thread my current LCD has 16.7 million colours but the LCD I might buy (ViewSonic VA702) only has 16.2 million colours i googled a bit and some sites mentioned something about using dithering to make it seem that it got more colours than it can produce but by doing so some werid pattern or something might show up i'm just curious that are there any LCD users out there that actually found this 16.2m colour thing problematic or doesn't it show up and is unoticeable in everyday use? |

| 469236 | 2006-07-07 09:03:00 | Having owned a Polyview V396B 19" (16.2 million colours, TN Panel) and now a Dell 2007WFP Rev. A02 20" Widescreen (16.7 million colours, LG.Philips S-IPS panel) I did notice that the Polyview couldn't produce a true red (even after adjusting) whereas the colours on the Dell are spot on. Sure they are a different class of monitor that I am comparing, but the wide viewing angles of the S-IPS panel are way better than TN panels offer (which is what the ViewSonic VA702 uses). But if you're not fussy then the ViewSonic should be fine for your needs. One other point to note is that if you are printing pictures from your computer, the colours may be slightly different between the hard copy and what you see on the ViewSonic - but that is true of all monitors using TN panels. |
