The Sony tax on this monitor must be like 85%.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Jul 23rd 2007 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Jul 23rd 2007 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/
The design for the monitor is very nice looking.

The specs are also impressive especially the HDMI input!
-1920x1200
-HDMI-HDCP, VGA, Stereo Mini, Composite In, S-Video, YPbPr, Audio In (Dual RCA)
-1000:1 contrast ratio
-500 cd/m2 brightness
-8 ms response time

No, I don't work for Westinghouse. :)]]>Jul 23rd 2007 11:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Jul 23rd 2007 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Jul 23rd 2007 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/I actually find it interresting, but I'd really like to know what panel is in it. Most likely an MVA or S-PVA sadly. I'd prefer a S-IPS, but I doubt there is a 24" panel with that gamut.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 12:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Plus, Samsung is the world's largest (and most popular) LCD monitor brand, so I'd rather go for that.
Those Koreans know their LCDs.]]>Jul 24th 2007 3:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Jul 23rd 2007 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Jul 23rd 2007 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Jul 23rd 2007 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/
Most of your cheaper panels are typically more in the 80's% wise color accuracy.]]>Jul 23rd 2007 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Jul 23rd 2007 4:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/Jul 23rd 2007 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/I am waiting to upgrade my SDM-X52 all these years.
I don't care how much does it cost, I would definitely buy it if comes to Europe.]]>Jul 24th 2007 9:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/
1) The 10bit internal LUT. This is a feature you don't normally see on a sub $1400 panel. I think the next one up that has it is the NEC 2490.

2) Its an IPS penal judging by the viewing angles and no one would put an internal LUT on a PVA/MVA/TN panel. That would be like putting chrome wheels on a Yaris.

Nothing else in the $1000 price point offers LUT & IPS. Assuming the quality is good this could be a killer panel and may force NEC to drop its prices.]]>Aug 4th 2007 5:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/23/sony-intros-24-inch-vgp-d24wd1-monitor/
1.) The Eizo Flexscan S2111/S2411-panels are S-PVA's with 10 bit LUT's... And the S2111 can be found for $600-$700 so there goes your theory.

2.) There exists no 24 inch S-IPS panel with a 1000:1 contrast ratio so I guess Sony's new isn't an IPS... And we should be lucky for that considering the image persistance problems on overdriven S-IPS panels..

Looking at the specs I think it is either a S-PVA or a the new A-MVA panel from AUO, the same used by BenQ and LG in some of their 24 inch monitors, the specs are identical... except for the color gamut but they could have used new tubes for the back lighting.

But I agree that that the 92% color gamut is useless for a general user since essentially all content (UI's, pictures, games etc) are scaled for sRGB anyway so you will not see the new colors, except for some slightly better greens!
