i read that some TN can be quite good at color reproduction even with 6-bit and dithering.
a friend needs a monitor but only $300 bucks to spend tops. while it is for gaming, it also needs to be used for some color-sensitive work so the search is on for the TN panel with the best dithering...
crt's are better for blacks since they can actually make a black by the absence of light vs an LCD that is backlit.
lcd is catching up but a good crt > LCD
i was deciding between those two monitors just recently and went doublesight.
last spring i wanted to get the dell 2407, and since the doublesight uses the same panel, i was leaning towards that. i also read the DS is built better than the westinghouse so that sealed it for me.
dunno if...
understood. i was just inquiring as to whether it has worth even though it is old. not even sure i want to sell the thing, but from the info in this thread, it seems newer crt's are not very good, so i was wonderin.
you guys think i could sell my 21" dell trinitron CRT?
got it almost 10 years ago, its not going dim whatsoever. i went lcd for desktop space physically, and to get a 24" size for virtual desktop space.
i bought myself a 42" panny plasma & a doublesight 24" monitor for the same price this last week :D
but i wish i could have dropped 1500 on this monitor but my career hasnt taken off yet. sniff.
well just set up this puppy and first of all DAYUM 24" from a 21" crt is BIG!
i love it.
did some pixel peeping and found 1 stuck pixel in the lower left, stuck in green mode, no dead pixels.
tryin to read if u can get rid of stuck pixels but i cant notice it doing anything it is...
yes desktop space.
my trusty dell trinitron 21" aperture grill crt has served me well for 10+ years but my doublesight 24" will be a welcome change in regards to physical space on my desk, even though it is a big desk - i cant wait. gonna look so much more spacious and feel more open. that is...
i will post my thoughts. il lbe usin it in about 10 days when i move to a new apartment.
to the OP. if you want the doublesight you better get it ASAP. it is pretty much out of stock everywhere you look, and i think it is discontinued.
i was gonna buy a monitor last may.
my wants were: respectable color accuracy & photo editing chops, i am an amateur photog @ www.simplyathos.com
24" so i can have lots of desktop real estate, 2 windows side by side, etc
solid response time for gaming, not a priority but need to be reliable...
with my 8800 GTS 320 i use riva tuner to run my fan at 100% during 3d applications running.
i could care less about noise when i have a shooter blasting in my headphones or on my speakers.
when i am just doin regular pc stuff the fan is quiet, and that is when quiet counts.
