    Twinkling/Video Noise and IPS Panels. So Bad?

    I've been reading the Behardware reviews where they're really serious about the "twinkling" effect on LCD panels with video play back. Is this really such a big deal? I'm thinking about getting a NEC 2490, when it comes out, mostly for watching movies. I'd prefer an IPS panel, because of the...

    Any idea what the pricing will be on the 2490?

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Is there a way to check online where the BenQ depots are? So people can decide if it's worth buying a monitor and planning on doing the fix through BenQ? I looked on their web site and didn't find any info like this.

    NEC LCD2690

    Thanks for the clarification. I've been reading this whole thread, but got confused by a posting above referring to Nec's use (I guess sometimes) of reflective coatings.

    NEC LCD2690

    Wait, so the 2490 and 2690 will have a glossy screen coating?

    NEC LCD2690

    travbomb, Could you answer my questions (above) about whether the 2490 will have the same specifications (1:1 pixel mapping, scaling over DVI, 1080p) as the 2690? Also, I asked, in general does the 2490 have the same specifications as the 2690, other than the difference with the AdobeRGB...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Yes, I also am interested in the monitor mainly for watching movies, so I'm concerned about the video noise. It's suprising, because I thought S-IPS monitors were supposed to have the most problems with video noise and VA monitors (like the Benq) are supposed to be good. Also the Benq uses the...

    Sceptre 24" LCD

    I've concluded that now is not the time to by a 24" monitor. At first I was considering the Dell, then the Benq came along. But it has some problems. So I was considering the 23" Apple Cinema Display. Then some interesting S-IPS 24" monitors from LG and NEC were announced. Now Sceptre. I...

    NEC LCD2690

    I realize there is the difference with the AdobeRGB. My questions are about all the other specifications of the 2490 vs the 2690. Does 1080P work on the 2490? Will the 2490 support all progressive scans over DVI including 1080p, as travbomb said. Will 1:1 pixel mapping work on the 2490 over...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    PscychoCandyMtl, where do they talk about the BFI in the tomshardware.fr review? As I already pointed out, it's a review of the FP241W, not the FP241WZ. Secondly, I don't see in the actual review any discussion of the BFI, nor of ghosting. In fact, I don't see where you're quoting from in either...

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    Points of interest in the tomshardware.fr review: 0) First of all, this is a review of the FP241W, not the FP241WZ as PsychoCandyMtl said. 1) They say the color calibration is nearly perfect out of the box (perhaps only a tiny bit too much green). 2) They had the best color performance...

    NEC LCD2690

    Does this apply to the 2490 as well? What about the 1:1 pixel mapping, also on the 2490? In general can the 2490 be assumed to have the same features as the 2690, other than the lcd panel and it's different color characteristics?

    Official BenQ FP241W Thread !!! Info, Pictures, Reviews

    I'm having this sort of thought pattern as well, although I want the monitor mainly to watch movies on. But I've added a couple extra steps. Someone mentioned LG coming out with an S-IPS 24" (L245WP) monitor for a decent price and I thought maybe I should wait for that, because I'd like the...

    NEC LCD2690

    I wasn't trying to suggest NEC is selling crap. My impression is that their monitors are very high quality. I was just trying to make a point about how pricing in a market is independent of the actual production cost and quality of a product. Which was a response to ASIA911, who doesn't think...

    NEC LCD2690

    Not to be all Economics 101, but I think it's important to keep in mind that nothing has an intrinsic value. It's all determined by the market and what people are willing to pay. So even if, say, for the sake of argument, the differences between the NEC and other monitors is relatively small (in...
