Seems to have scaler - check this slide:
http://www.computerbase.de/bildstrecke/32560/7/
Many people aren't that senstive to input lag - so it not a big deal for most but its a turn off for some buyers.
what the point with scaler and input lag?
gamers play at native resolutions and it doesn't use the scaler, if scaler is needed because someone don't want to play at native resolution, every graphics cards have a scaler, so what's the point?
Well, for PC use yes, a scaler isn't terribly important --- but having a hardware scaler is kind of nice for older PC games i.e. StarCraft or Diablo where the resolutions are locked to 640x480 in software. And some people like using their monitors with their cable boxes, Xbox 360s, or Playstation 3s. Those devices don't run native at 2560x1440, so a scaler is required.

So, does anyone have any information regarding release date and pricing of Samsung`s new PLS monitors? More specifically, the 27`one... SA 850 I believe?
I only just now after how many years switched from my CRT to an old 4:3 17" NEC, so I'm very eager to go widescreen and I think this is the one.
Anyone know anything about price?
White-LED lit from one side
The surface treatment listed is "haze"
a "May 2011" release...could well hold up the release of the SA850 and any other screens using these panels if that is accurate.
This news is all of woe...
1. WLED vs. CCFL. That's really what is going on here. It's not clear at all that CCFL is better then edgelit WLED for consumer oriented displays. CCFL might have slightly wider gamut - but WLED is thought to be brighter and allow for better contrast.
2. Haze? Yeah this sounds like crap. And if it is crap I won't buy this monitor. OTOH it might not be as bad as it sounds as the prototype looked fine in videos - kinda semi glossy.
Most users are hoping this display represents a good alternative to the Apple one - that seems to be what Samsung is going for too. Thin stylish - with alot of pixels and pretty good image quality. Yeah its not RGB LED backlit but you won't find alot of monitors at Samsung/Dell price point that are.. Dell's is CCFL no?
White LED from an edge is simply the worst scenario you can have on a monitor,
so please don't compare it to a good CCFL.
What is the main downside?
Are there even any monitors that use RGB LED lighting? Thought it was so expensive it was only worth putting on the largest (46+) high end TV's?
HP has one. Don't remember the model off the top of my head. It is expensive. Dell has also used RGB led in a few laptops as an option.

I do not agree, by now everyone still playing games such as Diablo & Starcraft wich are VERY VERY OLD, should be ashamed (diablo for example was released in 1996).
I personally have never met anyone that plays a game longer then 6 years wich to me is the absolute max (with expansions).

Yeah the HP Dreamcolor. Its a $2000 monitor though.
yes and it is neither good enough to compete with the other Eizo/NEC monitors in that category that uses CCFL.
Specifically, the white color point maintenance is a stringent requirement in many applications. Meeting this requirement is a severe challenge due to the variation in the optical characteristics of the RGB-LEDs with temperature, time and forward current and the spread in the LED performance. This results in 1) an unacceptably high variability in white light color point and 2) difficulties in manufacturing reproducible LED lamps.

Diablo 2 = sucks. Duped items + forum gold = bored in two weeks.
You can't have a large display with relatively small resolution and low pixel pitch. The size of a pixel on an LCD is "fixed", it doesn't quite work the same way as it did on CRTs if you know what I mean. In order to have smaller pixels you need higher resolution.Anyway to get back on topic, is there a 27" out there with 1920x1200 res that has exellent repsonse and graphics (with lower pixel pitch then 300)? IPS if possible but I'm guessing that by now they are still slow?
Asking this since I read about new sorts of IPS panels being on the market since of this year.
