I'm thinking more for games and even for movies if the monitor has to scale things down. Also some older movies look very pixelated at 1920x1200 so at 2560x1600 they will look even worse. So if you (or anyone else) doe get a chance to check it out at that res I'd appreciate your comments :)

Yeah anymore info would be appreciated, I have been thinking about this monitor but would like to know a few more things because I'm not 100% if I should go for one now. If possible try it at different resolutions, how well does it scale especially at 1920x1200. What is Windows usage like...

I'd prefer one yes because I can see myself using this monitor at different resolutions. For example films or when I might need to do some gaming. In an ideal world you would want as little input lag as possible but I'm not a hardcore gamer so it isn't a huge deal for me. Seen that...

Does this monitor have a scaler? Been looking at a 30" but I've got the NEC 2690 and I'm a bit worried about the high resolution when it comes to gaming and even watching movies, some my movies on the 2690 look a bit funny when I maximise the screen so on the 30" they will look even worse...

Are you referring to Samsung or NEC in the bold part? I agree about NEC as well, if Dell can have their product out using the same panel, you would think NEC shouldn't be two months behind.

Hopefully NEC will deliver, have they been known to be late in the past? The Samsung one seems to really be dragging on. I believe announced it in March last year and scheduled for a release around August 2007 IIRC but we are now in the new year and still no sign of the monitor here in the UK.

Do Dell not use Grade A panels? Interesting that about NEC, didn't know they even had Grade A panels. Learn something new everyday! :)

I would think mainly games. For some games the high resolution might be too much for their current graphic cards so if you want to play on high settings and have acceptable game play you might need to put the resolution down a bit. For example I can't see many being able to play games like...

I agree about the IPS panel part, that is why I am not looking to purchase that monitor but am looking more closely at the Dell, the rumoured LG monitor and waiting to see whether a new Apple is announced in the coming weeks. I haven't looked that deeply into the specs of the XL30 in a while...

I am not the type to keep changing my comp so I would be willing to pay a bit more for something more future proof. Those prices for the Samsung XL30 are too steep imo but those aren't your normal monitors and are aimed at professional users. I think upto £1500 I would be willing to pay and if...

Another quick google reveals NEC 2470WNX - S-PVA Panel NEC 2470WVX - TN-Panel So yes it does seem to have a TN Panel

Anyone got any info on the the new 30" NEC that might be out at the start of the year? Oh right, hadn't heard of the NEC monitor with LED backlighting so my mistake there :) I know Samsung have a local dimming LCD out but hadn't heard of the Sharp one. Was actually considering getting the...

A quick google search http://www.nec.com.sg/ap/page.asp?id=150 Have put in bold and coloured the only differences I could see in the descriptions

Apart from Samsung haven't heard of any other company bringing out LED backlit monitors and nobody has even mentioned local dimming (I think you mean local instead of dynamic) on monitors yet so could be a while before we see that.

There isn't much around at the moment http://www.lgphilips-lcd.com/homeContain/jsp/eng/inv/inv101_j_e.jsp?BOARD_IDX=1198&languageSec=E&kinds=IN1 http://www.prad.de/en/news/shownews_tft1056.html The second link refers to it as W3000H so that might be the model number but there isn't...

I think what happened was people saw the initial pictures which made it look like it wasn't a widescreen monitor and just assumed that was the case. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/5.htm#samsung_xl30 It doesn't make sense to have a 2560x1600 resolution if it isn't widescreen! You...

It is definitely a widescreen monitor, I think they released squashed pics but soon after released proper pics. The picture they use on that site is straight of Samsung's site so that is exactly what the monitor will look like

Been waiting for far too long for a new 30", I just don't think I can hold out longer than Jan/Feb so I hope there are a few available then for me to chose from. Hoping the Dell, Samsung, NEC, Apple and LG will be available then. The LG one looks very interesting as well, S-IPS and a colour...

Got any more information or links about that LG monitor?

How much would that Barco monitor cost?

Would you say there is much difference in quality when it comes to actually looking at the screen or is it mainly the input lag which is the difference? Yeah that is the XL30 there, good to see they finally have it up on their website. Just done a search on google for LS30EDDLB and on the...

Not an expert on screens but could someone tell me why IPS panels are better than PVA? The XL30 is wide screen, I think there were some strange pictures around originally but it is definitely a widescreen. http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news_archive/5.htm#samsung_xl30 (scroll a bit down the page)...

They released details for the XL30 back in March and still no official announcement from them regarding that. Been holding off my purchase for a 30" monitor for far too long now!

I'm just getting tired of waiting tbh and really looking to buy in the next couple of months. Bought my new system back in December and was waiting until around March/April to buy then I heard of this and thought lets wait a little longer! If the ETA is still end of the year by the time this...

The stuff I could find was a few months old so was hoping for an update. If there is a recent link I'd appreciate it if you could post the link here, sorry to be a pain. Thanks :)

Sorry for this thread resurrection but anyone have any ideas on when it might be out? Am looking for a 30" monitor and am not the type to buy one now and then buy another in a few months time!
