Today "almost all" monitor manufacturers, such like as DELL, Apple, Sony and Eizo, use LCD panels from either Samsung (S-LCD) or LG-Philips (two of the biggest LCD manufacturers on this planet)... ]]>Nov 26th 2007 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/
Eizo, Nec, and Apple as well as some others to an extent only use the BEST LCD panels on their higher end offerings with Eizo leaning toward PVA and Nec and Apple using variants of IPS panels.

There's a reason why there are tons of cheap LCD panels flooding the market these days because they're crap. Envision, Hanns-G, Westinghouse, Soyo, all crap.

If you're going to buy a cheap panel, at least buy something brand name like Samsung, LG, Asus or Dell. These companies are likely to be going concerns in the future and thus have more stringent production lines meaning less defects, plus they'll be there tomorrow in case anything goes wrong. Besides Westinghouse (who makes an assortment of other products including the electric meter on the side of my house), I wouldn't say many of those cheaper companies will be around that long.]]>Nov 26th 2007 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/
It seems that there is a processor that analyses the colours on the screen and when it works out that a certain colour text on a certain colour background would be hard for a colour blind person to see, or that there are two shades of green that are on screen that a colour-blind person would only see as one, it somehow patterns or re-hues those colours enough for them to be discerned as separate colours.

...I think...the descriptions are a bit vague.]]>Nov 26th 2007 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/Nov 26th 2007 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/
I've seen Photoshop color palettes that are supposed to help simulate protan or deutan deficiencies, e.g.:

Best of all, this works on my $550 2407WFPs and doesn't need a new $1050 monitor!]]>Nov 26th 2007 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/
"The display is able to simulate the two common types of red-green color vision deficiency. This feature allows graphic designers who are working on maps, signage or other critical applications to see their work as a color blind person would. This is done in real time without the need for post-processing, allowing designers to quickly preview their work and ensure that it is readable by those afflicted with color blindness."]]>Nov 26th 2007 9:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/Dec 30th 2007 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/Nov 26th 2007 11:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/26/eizos-24-inch-flexscan-for-the-colorblind/When I was a kid, I thought grass was orange. $1,047 of the orange stuff.]]>Nov 26th 2007 11:05AM
