That is a damn small font. I'm not surprised it couldn't be displayed. But on an LCD a pixel is a pixel. If the monitor can't display something that small, surely that's an anti-aliasing/OS issue?

Show me a font that small displaying correctly on something else...]]>Jul 3rd 2006 6:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/I wish they would dump those pieces of crap by now. We already have 8ms true 8bit panels now.]]>Jul 3rd 2006 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/
6bit panels are lower quality. I mean we stopped using dithering in games about 10 years ago so hey here is an idea. Let make a panel that looks like crap but runs real fast.

I will pass. Also the lowest response rate is useless. I like the reviews at toms hardware where they graph the response curve. I would be fine with a 12 ms panel is it was truly 12ms (i.e for all colors changes from 0-255 it reacts in less than 12ms).

The truth is lots of 8ms panels are 8ms only for a small portion of the greyscale. For other changes they balloon out to 18ms, 20ms, even as high as 28ms.

Lets gets a full color depth (8bit) panel with a decent 12-14ms response across the board, HDCP support (HDMI prefered but DVI will work), and resolution high enoough to support 1080P (or at least 1900x1050) and I will buy it otherwise I'll pass.]]>Jul 3rd 2006 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/
Without pixel resolution you have to work around limitations. For instance, I could probably use a 9-10 point Ariel font just because I'm running at a much higher resolutiuon that this POS monitor.

Maybe the almost-blind will find it useful. :)]]>Jul 3rd 2006 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/Jul 3rd 2006 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/
They are? I can go buy a Westinghouse 42" (or 37") with 1920x1080 resolution. Sure, refresh is lacking, but not in resolution. In fact, these have been available from Best Buy for almost a year.]]>Jul 3rd 2006 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/
"19" LCDs that are more than 1280x1024 are pretty rare"

That means that 19" LCD screens hardly ever come in anything higher than 1280x1024. Not that you couldn't get one capable of displaying a higher resolution than that at all or even in higher screen sizes. Also you specified a widescreen resolution where as 1280x1024 is a 4:3 resolution.]]>Jul 16th 2006 10:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/lgs-19-inch-2ms-flatron-l1970hr-reviewed/Jul 28th 2006 3:39AM
