Yah, I agree totally, except that back when I bought my S-PVA Samsung, plasmas had 60Hz flicker and I am more sensitive to that than most people. If I had to replace my TV now I would go with the Panny Viera for sure.
Eye strain has more to do with other factors besides refresh rate. Most LCDs do not flicker, so it is more about brightness, dot pitch, and room lighting.
I thought the same thing when local dimming came out. If you shrink the dimming zones to one pixel then you would have a great display, but the cost will not allow it.
Another question is can you calibrate LEDs accurately?
No; I am talking about resolutions we have not seen yet, like 3840x2160 or whatever quad HD turns out to be. 2560x1440 is still inadequate for engineering and many other applications. You obviously do not have any experience with anything but gaming, so you do not see the need for the extra...
This is a real concern right now, but if LG actually does come out with higher resolutions than 2560 x 1440 in a 16:9 and a larger physical size then it would not matter much. It is really all about the number of pixels for those of us that do more then gaming.
They seem to have a cosy relationship with Samsung and Samsung has dropped production of 30 inch panels for their own business reasons. They never really supported the 30 inch size anyway. It is too bad, because I believe a 30 inch PLS screen in a proper cabnit (no BLB) would command a high...

Use it until it dies and then get something else, and next time do more research.

Find a forum where they talk about your graphic card drivers and what version is best. It is not always the latest version: http://forum.notebookreview.com/notebook-manufacturers/

Can you give us some more details? 1000W heat-gun at full blast? and for how long?
It's is kinda of ironic that you have done something that both Samsung and GW refused to do and it was not that hard to do.
Good Job!
Over saturated colors looks like a cartoon or poster where the colors are too strong/bright. It is not a big deal for business apps. Go back to 10e's review and use his color settings. Then do your own tweaking if you need to.
The bigger dot pitch really is easier on the eyes.
LCD != world, but if you want to use one, you need to find a way to work arround the problems you are having. You will never get there if you give up to easy.
As others have said it may very well be that LCD is not for you
That is acute eyestrain. I am extreamly near sighted, and have worked with a lot of low vision specialists on this issue, because I suffer from it myself. What you describe is acute eyestrain. It can get crazy painful.
P. S. We are trying to help, so do not take what is said here the wrong way.
Here is my take and advice:
First; panel type does not matter that much, but stay away from TN for a lot of reasons.
What I suggest is try bias lighting if you haven't already.
Pay close attention to dot pitch. The tighter the dot pitch the smaller the text and that leads to eye strain...
I have a Dell 2209WA with the so called heavy AG coating and it really doesn't bother me. What does bother me is the glossy screen on my laptop. I connect the laptop to the 2209WA when I am at home and then I am good.
He shut up for a while after Albvion made him look bad in the last thread like this. Unfortunately Albvion deleted his own posts. He photoshoped the animated gif of the aspect ratios so everything was in the same dpi insted of ignoring that little issue. That gif came from the wide screen gaming...
Exactly, Why do gamers insist on hiding the real reason for wanting 16:9. It is all about price, they want to have one screen to do it all. In their case all includes games and movies, because they usually do not have room or budget for a TV and a computer display in their bedroom/dormroom. I am...
15:9 vs 16:10 has been rehashed numerious times on this forum. Use the search function. When it was done as a poll (more than once), the end result was 16:10 ~100 and 16:9 ~ 50, or 2 to 1 in favor of 16:10.
Don't take my word for it; look it up!
Sorry to say it, but I think you ruled out everything out there. It is a trade off, you have to except some negitives to avoid others. It sux, but that is how it is.
Good Point,
You would think they would at least put their best foot forward on the initial units. I remember Dell starting out will all IPS on certain modela and then switching to a panel lottery later on.
The first pics we have seen so far have a good bit of light streaming from the edge...
I hope PLS is a hit, but it cannot be a game changer if it is only targeted at a small segment of the computer display market.
Mobil displays are a different story entirely.
