    120hz IPS Panels on the way from LG

    What about the Panasonic IPS-Alpha panels for their TV's? Specifically the new 2011 panels. I've just started reading about them tonight but this vid seems to say that they've improved response time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFkXzLWQih0. I've also been reading their black levels are...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    No, it is both. It is backlight bleed and it is PVA viewing angle. Even with zero backlight bleed blacks lighten up in a halo around the entire edge of the screen due to PVA viewing angle shift even with your view cone dead centered in the screen. You are exactly right, Danga, it does make...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    I just got the EW2420 this morning and after about an hour using it I have to say I'm very disappointed. It's a significant downgrade in image quality from my NEC 20WMGX2 in almost every important way. The few positives of this monitor are insignificant in light of the fact overall the IQ of...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    I know it's weird. ++++US doesn't even have any BenQ monitors listed at all the last time I checked while their Canadian site sells plenty of BenQ monitors.

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Good video review NCX. The Allan Wake video scene was an excellent choice for your demo. The night setting provides plenty of blacks and the indoor scene in the diner provides plenty of bright color mixed in with the darks to really demonstrate why a large contrast ratio is important for IQ...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Thanks, your black looks fantastic. The third pic makes it easy to finally understand how VA gamma shift can apply to a centered viewer.

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    Thanks for the reply. Hmm, zero brightness. I can't do that with my monitor, the picture is too dim, but mine is a low contrast IPS. But even at zero brightness backlight bleed shines through on mine all the same so it doesn't help deepen black much.

    Luisito or Tropiciel did your units come with any backlight bleeding like in NCX's review? http://wecravegames.com/forums/gadgetry-electronics-discussion/5382-benq-ew2420-mva-3-000-1-ansi-contrast-led-monitor-review.html

    Thanks for the review. That's disappointing about the backlight bleed. Hopefully the replacement will be better. If not for the backlight bleed I probably would have ordered this monitor and put up the the other deficiencies due to the cheap price, but now I'll wait to see how your...

    BenQ new VW2420/EW2420 VA panel with LED backlight.

    I just can't wrap my head around the VA shifting issue, whether it would be an issue for me or not. At this point I'm considering just buying one as long as reviews don't show some negative issue like ghosting. If I don't like it I'll just return it and eat the restocking fee. The VA blacks...
