That's pretty sucky on Dell's part not to even add a letter or something to the model to let us know which panle it will have. Reason being LG is a S-IPS panel, Samsung is S-PVA. Don't wan't to bring the old thread back but that DOES matter to some people. Both technologies have different...

The limiting factor is most likely the current density. If you think of the "guns" as needle poits behind the screen, as you go smaller the current increases proportionaly, so does the heat, and in the end it would probably burn out the gun (dull niddle point) in very short time

If you experience jittering or other distortions on the analog CRT signal now, chances are you'll actually not see it when you go digital as common mode noise will be rejected by differential signalling.

I think you guys are getting a little bit anal over here. When it comes to analog than yes I'd agree you need good cables, however for TMDS DVI signal any decent quality cable will do. First of all the signaling is based on 3.3V (not 5) with single ended swing of about 0.5V. At the current...

I think you got a little bit carried away here. If you look at Dell 2405, at 0.27mm dot pitch we get 25.4/0.27 = 94.07 dpi At your desired 300dpi the 1920x1200 resolution screen size would be about 6.4"x4" I sure as hell don't want to try to read text on a display like that, but than again...

I wish this was true for me. I guess I'm just more sensitive to the color shift. 24" panel is big enough to notice it when moving the eyes, heck I even notice it on the 19" at work (MVA type). Bottom line is, everything is subjective, if it doesn't bother you than more power to you, I really...

I'm gonna have to disagree with that. IPS panels (like apple cinema or HP l2335) do not exhibit the color wash phenomena unless you start using extreme angles. You don't need to move your had to notice it. As a simple excercise put up a picture with lots of dark details (like a tree with...

Like I said before, no amount of calibration will get rid of it. It's an inherent feature of the MVA/PVA technology, you may notice it less but it's there. Try to look at the gray side bars on the forums here and see if you still think it's gone. I guarantee you'll find the familiar...

This grey metallic effect is rather annoying and for me and I see now many others it disqualified this other than that awesome panel. All PVA/MVA panels will have it. I had both 2405 and f2304 (consumer version of L2335) for a while. HP uses S-IPS panel so the colors do not get washed out and...

The wasout is pretty obvious and I don't have any other techniques. If you can take a laptop with you with this forum page saved and look at the grays, should be pretty obvious. I would try to shade the monitor as in the bright store lights the wash may not be that obvious.

I'm pretty sure Acer is using IPS panel, so no washout. This is probably the same panel as Dell 2005fpw. A rule of thumb would be that anything with the advertised contrast above 700:1 will most likely be MVA/PVA. You can try to get Dell which will give you Composite and S-Video as well as...

Unfortunately current state of the LCD technology leaves alot to be desired. If you wan to get a LCD today it will have to be a compromise, no single technology is the best. All PVA/MVA displays will have this color wash and annoying grey problem, so you can immediately scrap Dell 2405 and all...

No amount of calibration will help the wash out look when viewing at angles, it's just the inherent flaw of the PVA technology. That's why I've returned 2405 and this 2185. After initial wow factor wore out lot's of people around here are finaly start noticing it too. The best example is to...

Until the father stops by with the scissors again...

I think you've used the 2nd DVI port which is limited to 1280x1024, the 1st one should go all the way 1920x1080. Mind you I do not own one so I'm just sharing the info I've found when I was researching it.
