Evidently the circuitry used to take the same panel in both WT and WTQ with improved response time for the "Q" can introduce errors that lead to ghosting or even images sticking. Search the anandtech forums as there's some nice discussions of the issue there. Glad I got my WT now as newer lots...

Just got my LG 226WT (non "Q") and no ghosting at all. There is a bit of top & bottom backlight bleed but overall it's gorgeous, big and bright. BTW, I haven't installed Forte Manager as I'd heard it was buggy...anyone know it that's worked out and worth doing?

Perhaps so but no chance of a "C" panel with LG!!!

What pray tell is "overdrive?"

Pardon my newbie-ness but what is RTC?

Seems like the newer release panels are "Q" so I asked the manager at Best Buy what the difference is. He claimed the "Q" is newer and with finer dot pitch, smoother gradients, no negatives. Hype or truth...anyone know?

I was at BB today and they had boxed LG 226's galore. 3 of the boxes displayed: "][/URL] 7 others displayed: So is it desirable to avoid the former and buy the latter to avoid the ghosting issue?

OK, will check next time I can stop by C.C. Is it rapid movement of an object that will demonstrate it best?

Thanks for the reply!

I just noted that the DVI-D cable I bought to use with a single LG 226WT 22 inch monitor is dual-link. Besides being "overkill" with a single 22 inch LCD, is there any harm or image quality issue from using dual link cable in this way? Vid. card is eVGA 8800GTS 640 mb. I'm still waiting...

What tweaks permitted you to get rid of the screen door effect and jagged lines? I've noticed those too. Thanks for your post! LW

Don't believe the silver version of LG 226 is (yet) marketed in US. BTW, stopped at a Circuit City that had LG 226wt side-by-side with the Samsung 226bw. I've been trying to decide between them so this was a nice comparison opportunity. Brought my wife, who's a graphic artist professional...

Amazingly, CC in San Francisco had the LG 226wt and samsung 226bw side by side. Overall, both blew the doors off all other displays in the store! I adjusted to comparable settings with OSD and had one hell of a time establishing a preference. No keyboard, so couldn't really check text/wordp...

I spent some time with the LG 226WT at Best Buy...they let me connect it to a PC rather than the stock rotating images. Having just seen Sammy 226BW ("S") at Circuit City 2 blocks from Best Buy, which was actually connected at DVI, I was expecting the VGA connected LG to take 2nd place...

If I read correctly, viewsonic website lists contrast at 700, thus not really a directly comparable competitor to Samsung 225BW or LG 226WT. I realize there are different ways of measuring contrast, though...what do folks thing the significance of this spec. diffwerence is (obviously real...

Thanks for your review and pics, mfortuna What OSD settings did yoiu finally use foir optimal blacks/generally best results?

Will be available in white or black, per Viewsonic website. Thanks for the info. Hope is has HDCP!

Does the DVI include HDCP???

Thanks for the lag shots...polishing my math skills. What are your impressions of the "A" panel overall? Colors/backlight bleed and perhaps some pix of the monitor with typical images on screen would be great if you have time. Thanks, LW

I'm also trying to decide between the LG 226WT and Sammy 226BW. Iactually like the styling better on the LG as from pix Sammy looks a little garish, but perhaps the LG is too understated. I appreciate your pix and thoughts. What is your overall impression of which is the superior 22" for...

1) is your Sammy "A" or "S" panel? (Apologies if you answered this earlier in thread) 2) What is your overall impression of which is the superior 22" for everyday, non-gaming use? A subjective answer is fine as you are unique in having both side by side and your views as to...

Thanks for your efforts!

Too bright = eye fatigue, headache, loss of detail...but you're right its personal preference.

BTW, the back of the display had a sticker noting mercury in lamp required safe disposal. Do all LCD's use mercury in their lamps and LG just more socially responsible to inform us?

Spent some time examining the LG 226WT today at my local Best Buy after growing tired of all the Samsung 226BW "S" panel versus "A" panel crap, + noting the styling on the Sammy is a bit garish for me. Best Buy uses a standard def. DVD of 6 shots hooked to their monitors via VGA for display...

Excellent photo review. I'm struck by the vast improvement in backlight bleed when dynamic contrast is on. Is there a downside to its use or do you inrend to leave it enabled for daily LCD use? Thanks for your effort to post these pics...I agree the colors do seem a bit off. Do you...

Does anyone have a factual basis for the concern that "A" panel is inferior to "S" panel? I'm wondering if this forum has tried and convicted Samsung based on a perception of duplicitous business practices, but my primary interest at this point is whether the aftual TN panel quality is or isn't...

Ooops...my bad, just noticed DuckyBoy's is a 206, not 226BW. Can anyone provide a review of the 226BW "A" panel so we can separate our emotional distaste for "bait and switch" from true quality loss? Thanks again.

Love to see pics and hear your impression of the "A" 226BW panel, as that's what my CC stocks as well. Frankly, while the "bait and switch" is offensive, if this panel is still the best 22 inch'er at its price point with an ":A" panel I'll go for it. Can you review your panel for us? Thanks!

Mofongo...thanks for a great response. I won't buy a 226BW unless I can verify its a Sammy panel!

I'm a bit confused as other threads in this forum note there may only be 2 TN panel manufacturers for most 22 "consumer displays, principally Chimei and Samsung. Does anyone know if AOC panel is a 3rd type and if so if its quality parallels Samsung? I don't want to purchase the LCD for a month...

As was mentioned earlier in this thread, reports seof 226BW's using AOC panels rather than Samsung originals are appearing, See: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1157788 Isn't this a bit like buying a Lexus you test drove and then finding out the one you bought actually swapped...

Isn't this a bit like buying a Lexus you test drove and then finding out the one you bought actually swapped in a Kia engine? Seems like it should be regulated/illegal. Is there any way to tell if its Sammy or AOC from the box, as CC may not be thrilled with me breaking open the box to check...

Didn't play with vid card but this was one of those multiple displays set up with one PC for display purposes...why would only the 226BW show red cast if its vid card related?

After excitement from posts in this thread, finally saw the 226BW at Circuit City. Sweet design, overall quality solid BUT noticed a red hue cast over greens and whites. Really noticeable when I set wallpaper to a black and white image...clean black/white on all the monitors except the 226 had...

Any word on the Samsung LTM220M2 release date and pricing? LW

Thanks for this info., it's helpful. LW

Sorry, obviously meant Core 2 Duo 6600.
