    Analog to Digital (A/D) Board?

    I'm no EE, but my best guess would be the presence of a dedicated scaler/image processor vs a dumb display, or that it has extra inputs.

    Even with modest AG, I've always liked the look of a good *VA panel.

    Waves and Fuzzy on new Panasonic Plasma

    I think your camera is exaggerating the effect slightly, but you do see a grainy non-perfect pixel effect with plasmas. It's partly the subfield 600hz effect, part pixel orbiter, and partly the way plasmas at high contrast settings look. Make sure you're using HDMI with the 1:1 size option so...

    Best Gaming IPS

    More realistically, panels like the ZR24w have the best accelerated response time for e-IPS/H2-IPS tech. The newer ZR2440w is actually slightly less responsive in some transitions and has more input lag. The U2410 is very well rounded too. This Korean panel is just a new fad on here that most...

    NVIDIA GeForce 301.42 WHQL Drivers

    The newest posts on the driver thread for this at Guru3d indicate this still has the "50mhz" clock bug from the previous beta. If you don't know what that is, it's where on many 400 & 500 series GPU's, your card clocks down to it's lowest speed after exiting a game and stays that way. So far...

    Deinterlacer, scaler, and judder-free: how important are these?

    If you're still hunting, just buy a PS3. It supports like every format, handles framerates properly, everything. And you can do RGB instead of YCbCr for full black levels. That'll pretty much solve the VP problem on cheap monitors. Then setup media streaming on a PC for everything you don't...

    Plasma Burn In

    Reduce screen brightness for an extended period. Run sweeper. Hook up a pair of rabbit ears for analog channel static. Let it cool for a while. Heat makes IR worse.

    Deinterlacer, scaler, and judder-free: how important are these?

    The vast majority of PC monitors are unsuitable as TV's. Very few have tuners built in, that's usually important if you want OTA or QAM cable; otherwise you just need multiple inputs and good video processing. But most don't have added features like 3:2 pulldown detection and deinterlacing; it...

    Freaky Microsoft Piracy Video

    This is exactly the type of "piracy" MS should be preventing. The video doesn't demonize general P2P usage or the idea of copying, just the risks with using & buying non-legit stuff. It's true in that regard. Even when you're trying to stay legit and buy Office or such for cheap you run into...

    Samsung PLS s24a850dw: What I am I seeing in this panel that my eyes can't take?

    IPS glow is defined by a white bloom formed by antiglare coatings and the lack of a polarizer when viewing e-IPS & newer panels from off angles. The light doesn't get brighter, it just looks like a translucent plastic. What you're seeing is more like a wacked out backlight. The screen should...

    8-bit Displays?

    The HP ZR24W is a true 8-bit panel. You don't get the "brown" black levels attributed to 6-bit panels. But it doesn't have the best black levels & contrast for movies and such, but very accurate color otherwise.

    Scaling old games

    Depending on your driver version and chip you may not see GPU scaling as an option. In the newer drivers you'll find it under the NVIDIA control panel > Display > Adjust desktop size and position. But NV has had severe issues with detecting non-HDCP monitors over the past 2 years and some...

    Monitor for sensitive eyes

    I have a little experience with the HP and it's 19" cousin. We use them for a couple workstations in my office and they're both surprisingly uniform brightness and color (for TN's). I don't notice any flicker from the backlights and the screen coating seems neutral (no crystal effect)...
