Here is the translation: http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/trurl_pagecontent?lp=fr_en&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hardware.fr Seems like every LCD has some sort of input lag...even the venerable VX922.

Finally, someone does a review on the IPS 20.1" screen with 8ms response time, 700:1 contrast ratio, etc. Overall, they said it to be very fast and a good 4:3 screen. Here's the translation...

Yes it is. For snapshots of it take a look at this website: http://www.behardware.com/articles/602-11/19-lcd-survey-2-3-4-6-8-ms-and-above.html The bottom pic is the CRT. Notice that the image is perfect still at 1/1000 sec.

Well I gave Dell another chance and got a 2005FPW again. This one has worse back light bleeding but I noticed another weird anomaly while looking closely: a "waterfall" effect on the left side of the screen. It looks like waves of scan lines moving down the left side from top to bottom. You...

Not all of them have them. In fact, the only one I noticed it on is my Dell 2405FPW. In the other 5 or so different kinds of LCDs, regardless of panel or overdrive, none of them I noticed had noteable input lag. I believe in the case of the 24" Dell, the type of decoder exhibits the lag. And...

I think you have it mixed up. The SDE "screen door effect" is a problem mostly with LCDs, not plasma. Glare has to do with the coating on the screen, not the technology. Disadvantages of plasma would be size, fragileness, power consumption, and life expectancy. An example of this can be...

Plasma has instantaneous response time whereas LCDs don't.

Well that sucks they just can't add the extended warranty. Sounds real stupid. Gateway.com did charge a re-stocking fee with me. I had the monitor only 3 days. Believe me, I argued with some CSR guy named Chris for a half hour. He said he has no choice but to charge me the restocking fee...

Bestbuy doesn't charge a restocking fee, whereas Gateway.com does. Just incase, you end up not liking the monitor.

Well I decided to take the time to talk about the many LCDs that I have owned. I am sharing this information for people in the market of a LCD from someone who has a lot of FPS gaming and CRT experience. I hope that my opinions of the the items that I have owned will help people find the right...

Samsung, in the US, doesn't have a zero dead pixel policy (yet). Here's their current policy. http://erms.samsungusa.com/customer/sea/jsp/faqs/faqs_view.jsp?PG_ID=1&AT_ID=5608&PROD_SUB_ID=28&PROD_ID=-1 The minimum number of defective pixels we allow before we will replace an in warranty...

Actually the newer DLPs are much higher contrast ratios than LCDs, which are the lowest. LCDs: Pros: Perfect sharpness, good colors, low power consumption, long life, thin. Cons: Slowest response time, low contrast ratios due to poor blacks, poor interpolation, lower viewing angles...

The 204B is a 5 ms TN screen right? How's the viewing angles and colors on that bad boy? Congratulations BTW!

Nope, several other people on this forum noticed it too. I kept it but I sold it to my brother who doesn't play FPS games anymore. I loved everything else about it. If you don't notice it good for you.

Input lag. No other LCD I used has this input lag.

X bit labs has a good breakdown of the various lcd technologies (TN, IPS, MVA, PVA). http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/display/lcd-guide.html Basically, Twisted Nematic (TN) is the oldest lcd technology but costs the least to manufacturer. Here's the skinny on TN: -262k colors (18...

That's basically it. TN and overdrive PVA monitors do have a bit of "speckles" in movies unless you sit far enough back. S-IPS monitors like the 2005FPW do not. S-IPS monitors thus far do not have very deep blacks, so if you watch dark movies or watch a lot of movies in the dark, the grayish...

I don't have the 2005FPW anymore but from what I remember, the 2005FPW had the best overall color reproduction of any LCD monitor that I had. The whole picture on the 2005FPW seems "richer" akin to a CRT, although the blacks were deeper and the colors might have been a bit more accurate on the...

The Hyundai L90D+ is really a 6 bit panel. The manufacturer and those resellers are too lazy to put down it is really a TN+Film 16.2 million colors. Tom's Hardware did a review back when it first came out. I had it and I noticed some dithering on it. Unless they changed panels since it came...

I got a 970P, and it is pretty good for games. Considering that I came from the die hard CRT world (I still use a Diamondtron and the FW900 daily), and have had and used the Hyundai L90D+, Viewsonic VP191B, Dell 2001FP, 2005FPW and 2405FPW, I would have to say overall, this monitor was one of...

Mine came with a straight hairline scratch in the screen. You can't see it look directly at it, and only certain colors (white) of the screen bring the scratch out and only on an angle. Looks sort of like a damper line that holds the trinitron screen in place except its not a faint grey and it...

Well I don't notice it on the desktop, however, I do notice it in FPS games. I play mostly counterstrike and I use a real low mouse sensitivity (using a MX518 mouse or the 20 other mice that I have). Turning 90 degrees left and then 90 degrees right I notice the screen doesn't react quick. It...

Yep, I noticed it a while ago, but I have never said anything. I think it might be DVI related, but your story seems to refute that with the DVI and the CRT. When I used to have 19" lcds, I always used the DB15 (analog) cable because it always felt smoother and more reactive. The DVI was a...

Wow, the panel response is much better than expected! Clearly behind the VP191, but a toss up I think between the 4ms VX924 (shown here: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/display/20050602/viewsonic-05.html ) and this panel. Comparing the response graphs from the FP71E+ and the infamous Hyundai...

By the way, Provantage has the 193P+ in stock as well. http://www.provantage.com/buy-7SAMD04H-syncmaster-193p-19in-lcd-flat-panel-display-samsung-plasma-displays-shopping.htm Cheapest price I have seen for them...$569.19

Dell rates their monitor at 12ms, even though it uses the "8ms" Samsung panel. According to http://www.behardware.com/articles/567/page2.htm, the differing time may be due to a panel modification. But even the control electronics that Dell uses can effect the response time. Even still, the...

I don't want to bash Samsung, but if the 193P+ is just like the "8ms" Dell 2405FPW Samsung monitor but smaller, it won't be close to the VP191 in response time. Just using overdrive on a P-MVA monitor isn't enough. They need to do something like AUO Optronics did to the liquid crystals and...

Spec wise it looks to be Samsung using their own 24" panel for the first time on one of their monitors. This panel first came out for the Dell 2405FPW, so hence the "8ms" response time. Although the colors, viewing angles and sharpness are great on this panel, if it's anything like the Dell...

I have the 2405FPW and had a 2005FPW. The biggest difference is that the 2405FPW has a deeper black and better backlight. Other than that, you are really nitpicking. The 2405FPW has more of a blue default scheme to it. The 2005FPW seems to have a little "gritty" overall look to it. Both are...

1c3d0g, I don't mean to come down on you like that. The Dell 2405FPW is an excellent monitor that has many strong points. However, the response time is okay, but it is not close to being the best. I am happy with the 2405FPW as well. For the price it's unbeatable and the quality of image and...

Heh, you must need your eyes checked. Perhaps you need to "calibrate" your eyes by using a CRT. There is no need for me to lie about the performance of the 2405FPW, because I own it and spent a grand on it. Some people are very discerning when it comes to blurring, and apparently you are...

Damn good find Badd! Seems like the French get everything first. The reviewer seems to believe that overall, the VX924 is faster than the Hyundai L90D+ at the expense of color accuracy during transitions. The reviewer goes on the say the moving game images stay sharp (e.g., no mouse trail)...

No, most input handling is done through the MS OS via DirectInput. Lazy, yes, because the protocol is already built in for them...

No, I think you miss understood me. The mouse input rate won't influence your framerate, but your refresh rate will have an effect on your mouse input. Any game that uses DirectInput is affected by it. Play Quake 3 or Counterstrike, and lock your framerate say at 10 FPS and 60 and then...

Well having DVI doesn't mean you will only get 60hz. In most cases, only at the monitor's native resolution you get 60hz. However, if you lower the resolution and the monitor interpolates the images, DVI can carry 75hz or higher refresh.

No, it's not that simple. What is "true" DVI? How is that different from just DVI? Refresh rate has lesser importance to LCDs, because they don't redraw the picture constantly like CRTs do. But to oversimplify that it means nothing is straight out wrong. High refresh rates used to be...

Not entirely true. While you may not visually perceive a difference in framerate, the framerate determines how smooth the mouse runs as well, which is especially important in FPS games. Your mouse sensitivity will change depending the frame rate. If you use the DVI cable, your mouse will be...

Follow the links that the original poster provided. Comparing the graphs, the VP191B is faster. I can also tell you that owning both the Hyundai L90D+ and Viewsonic VP191B that the Viewsonic is faster.

I wouldn't say the technology as a whole is a defect. S-IPS technology doesn't block the backlight very well, therefore, you see the backlight easiest from where the backlight actually is. The color "black" is created by the liquid crystals totally blocking the backlight. S-IPS doesn't block...
