    Well, TN panels are UNACCEPTABLE IMHO

    Thanks...I hope I find what I want.... It seems you have a good experience with TNs... The ones that I saw were not good...at least to my eyes...compared to my current one.... Ok then...I have a question for you....Whay are the IPS and the MVA panels so much more expensive than the...

    Well, TN panels are UNACCEPTABLE IMHO

    Actually...No...I don't agree with your post.... I bought my 15" 5 years ago...and it DIDN'T cost a fortune, nor was it out of the ordinary average consumer's budget....It is IPS/MVA (whatever)...and not a TN.... Fast forward 5 YEARS...I expected to find a 22' at a REASONABLE price ...and...

    Well, TN panels are UNACCEPTABLE IMHO

    You just made my point....either settle with a low quality TN panel that runs anywhere between $200-300...or go for an IPS professional panel that retails for $1399!! Its like IPS/MVA is not even intended to be bought by the average consumer..

    Well, TN panels are UNACCEPTABLE IMHO

    Yes...why not...i'm willing to pay more for a quality 22" panel....but it seems that 22" are all TN. I don't actually get it...are IPS/MVA...or whatever they are called....that much more expensive to make? Or are the manufacturers just catering to the bigger demands...that is the gamers...

    Well, TN panels are UNACCEPTABLE IMHO

    I have a Porsche design Syncmaster 151P (IPS) screen for quiet a while now...and wanted to increase my working space...so went out to multiple stores to check what the market has to offer... I was especially interested in the 22" choices... Well...from what I saw over the past couple of...

    Is the BenQ FP222W a 6 bit or an 8 bit?

    The manual says it reproduces 16.7 million colors .....but I've also been told here on the forums that its a TN panel...which is 6 bit... I'm confused.... Is it 6 bit...but produces 16.7 million by DITHERING? And will i notice.... I've been using for the past 3 years a Porsche design...

    With modern PSUs, is a UPS a must?

    I mean for protection from power surges and dips.....I mean acting as a STABILIZER...and not for the battery function Every now and then, like half an hour, I hear a loud noise from the PSU...I'm positive its the current, which sucks in my area..(Lost my A-V receiver a few months ago...) I...
