What is Si-TFT Mean?

[UMASS]

Hi All: I just purchased an LG 22" L226WTQ-BF from Best Buy & it's going back! I have owned a 19" 4:3 Sony SDM-HS94/HS94P since 10/04/04 & even though it has a lower res @ 1280x1024 is put's the LG to shame!

My question is when looking @ the manual it states "Panel Type: a-Si-TFT Active Matrix" What does this mean? Why does it look so much better then the TN LG 22"?

I simply can't live with the LG. I guess I'll hang-on to my Sony until something better comes along!

Any isnight into "a-Si-TFT"?

Thanks All!

Alex

"a-Si-TFT" really means nothing, only a more fancy way of saying it's a modern LCD screen, could be TN, PVA whatever.

I think the SONY uses a MVA panel. The anti reflective coating might also be of higher quality than on the LG.
