This whole LCD mess is getting to me. I'm sick of researching panel types, I'm sick of the manufacturer lotteries, I'm sick of the cheap and large becoming mainstream and decent getting relegated to uber-expensive niche products. I just hate it. Who is to blame? The 2007wfp has been $400 for how long now on Dell's site? Nothing IPS ever drops in price... ever. Since when does technology do that? And remember all the LED backlight stories we've been getting teased with for years, the products at tradeshows that never show up on the shelves... ever? How can LED stay prohibitively expensive for so long? This whole thing is a smelly pile of BS. Look at how much better LCD TVs are. They had the sense to dump TN in favor of MVA and IPS from the very beginning. And look, the prices came down even for those technologies because they were mainstream.

This is just dumb, I'm holding on to my CRT and praying OLED comes in and swiftly turns this whole mess into crickets. It's like some kind of God technology. Its only drawback is the one which is holding it back from the market: lifespan.
 
Just get a 35-37" TV and use it for a monitor, it's not perfect but its way better than my old Misu Tube CRT 22"...Now if I could fit a 37" crt on my desk, that would be another story....OLED is going to be a while still. So enjoy your life now.

Get yourself a Acer26, or a DELL/Samsung 24-27 for your PC and live happily ever after.
I do agree that PC monitors are second class citizens compared to hi-spec LCD HDTV, but my Acer is heaps better than my old CRT, so I can enjoy that for 3-5 yrs till they ramp up the specs or replace LCD with OLED.

There's no panel lottery with most of the 8 bit 24-27....also, the truth is, small panels don't require as high specs as larger ones where everything is blown up and on show.....that hardly means I don't want better blacks, but I'm very happy with my LCD, even though most videphiles will rubbish it "on paper".
 
Aye, let's raise a toast to FitzRoy!! *what no beer stein smilies on this site!*
 
I say get a 24" Soyo with a VA panel for $299 or less, and enjoy it until OLED comes out :)
