Samsung 206BW panel check
- Thread starter CoolGuy90
- Start date
yes it is still one of the best 20 inch lcds no matter what panel you get. I think most of the new ones are A panels. You can check by accessing the hidden service menu. It works the same on all Samsungs. here is how to do it from behardware.
"Set contrast and brightness to zero and then press the Sourcebutton for 5 seconds. Look at the Panel info line. There should be an incomprehensible phrase such as M-ME22W0BAA-1002. Its the letters in bold face, especially those in the middle, which are determinant (based on current understanding) :
xAx-xxxx : Samsung panel.
xLx-xxxx : AU Optronics panel.
xDx-xxxx : CMO panel.
xIx-xxxx : CPT panel.
This is often but not always correct"

My 206bw has wavy lines going through it... is there a way to fix this or is my screen dying?
