YES, there is more to a monitor than it's refresh rate.

Ugh, damn consumers... megapixels, refresh rate, etc... no one actually pays attention to what matters anymore, just what they tell us matters.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/
Yeah, I think it's pretty safe to assume the lower 2 models are TN panels. I'm wondering if that's also the case with the upper 2 models. It seems like everyone is switching to TN panels now-a-days. Going with 6-bit for low-end stuff and 8-bit TN panels for their "high end" stuff.

It's going to be impossible to find a good quality LCD monitor in a year or two. I hope OLED monitors are out by then to solve that problem.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/
I've heard of these non TN monitors, but where does one actually get to experience one and compare it to a TN monitor? Most consumers will never know the difference if it's not laid out in front of them at your local brick and mortar store with a sign stating "See the difference!". Not to mention the price difference between the TN and other types.. ]]>Apr 24th 2008 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/You can find P/MVA & S-ISP monitors at B&M stores like Frys. Its quite obvious to tell the difference between a TN panel and a non TN panel. TN panels have very poor viewing angles. Meaning if you look to the side all the colors are washed out and if you look at a step angle from the bottom, you can't make anything out on a TN panel. On an S-IPS monitor, like the NEC's 20WMGX-BK which can be found at some Fry's stores, the colors are dramatically more vibrant and doesn't suffer from the color washout when viewing at different angles.

Most panels sold on the market are simply TN because they're cheaper
to produce and consumer simply don't know they're being sold an inferior cheaper product. Most consumers only care about price and size. If someone can get a 24" monitor for 300 bucks, they rarely care about the quality, they just want it to work. Which is fine for some, but for others consumer who want a quality monitor, it's becoming harder to find ones that don't cost a ridiculous amount of money.

Also, most companies don't want you to know the difference between a high quality and a shitty monitor. All TN panels have a 160/160 degree viewing angles where higher quality monitors have 178/178 viewing angles. But companies are now putting specs like 160/170 so they can sell monitors that were originally non TN panels and switch them later so people won't know based off the specs. A recent example of this is seen in Soyo 24" monitor which originally sold PVA monitors, but switched to TN panel types.]]>Apr 24th 2008 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/Apr 23rd 2008 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/Apr 23rd 2008 6:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/Apr 23rd 2008 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/23/samsung-releases-four-touch-of-color-series-monitors/
