  • About 16.2 and 16.7 m color difference

    if pressed between between the three, I would probably say the LG provides the best image quality, but since the Samsung is a widescreen monitor, you may want to prefer this one if you're going to watch lots of movies on it.
    Rule out the Benq, and
    pick the LG if your priority is on games
    or
    pick the Samsung if your priority is on movies.
    But either will do fine in both areas.

    Well, widescreen would be nice for games and movies of course, but the L1970HR is better quality.


    Zitat


    is the BENQ FP202W 20" wide 16.2 or 16.7m color?


    16.2m
    Both monitors have a TN-type panel.

  • How to ask for buying recommendations

    Essential tools:
    Buyer's Guide

    Compare specific monitors


    In order to help you as quickly as possible:
    When asking for buying recommendations, please consider and include in your posting if any of the following aspects apply.


    - budget
    - size preferences
    - online shops that are available to you in your country
    - preferred aspect ratio 16:9 (wide) / 4:3 / 5:4
    - try to give a rough estimate about your application profile [e.g. 20% movies, 70% office, 10% gaming] (note: in case you will mainly use it for gaming, ask yourself if you are willing to sacrifice viewing angle and color quality in exchange for a slight edge in terms of responsiveness)
    - misc. preferences (ergonomics, USB hub, pivot, etc.)


    This way, we'll have things narrowed down somewhat and can cut to the chase right from the start.


    Good Luck

  • About 16.2 and 16.7 m color difference

    The list of monitors below is meant to provide a rough estimate of what might fit your budget. All of these have a VA panel (16.7 million colors), DVI input and 8ms (claimed) response time.


    19 inch: (1000:1 contrast)
    BenQ FP91GP
    Acer Office Line AL1922As
    Acer Office Line AL1923s
    Belinea 101915 (111921)
    Belinea 101920 (111919)
    Sony SDM-S95FS
    Samsung SyncMaster 913TM
    Samsung SyncMaster 940Fn


    19 inch: (1300:1 contrast)
    Philips 190P7ES / 190P7EG (recommended)
    Acer Performance Line AL1952


    19 inch: (1500:1 contrast)
    Sony SDM-X95FB / SDM-X95FS
    Samsung SyncMaster 971P (this one would be worth stretching the budget)


    20 inch: (800:1 contrast, widescreen)
    Philips 200W6CS


    Dont go for widescreen if it's gonna be a 19 inch monitor. 19 inch widescreens are currently all using TN panels only.

    1- how could thar monitor is 1600:1 contrast? the other brands and model are always 500 or 600 for the maximum.. i mean is it a real contrast ratio?


    It's the dynamic contrast range, achieved only by using some tricks. It should not be directly compared to the contrast ratios of other monitors.


    Zitat


    2- is being 16.2m color a problem? what is the difference between 16.2 and 16.7m color?


    Dithering


    Zitat


    3- what is waiting for me in 16.2m color and 16.7m color?


    Inferior color quality.
    It comes down to what your preferences are. If it's office, browsing, etc. or if response time critical hardcore gaming is a must for you, then TN panels will get the job done.

  • Es lebe die Röhre!

    Diesen Januar war ich auf dem hier in Saarbrücken alljährlich stattfindenden "Max Ophüls Film Festival" auch bei der untenstehenden Veranstaltung, die mich inhaltlich sofort interessiert hatte als ich darüber las. Dort wurden recht ausführlich die Pro und Kontras von Digitalfilm vs. Analogfilm beleuchtet. Im HDTV -tauglichen Cinestarkino, wo der Vortrag abgehalten wurde, hat der Referrent Prof. Sauter dann immer zwischen hochauflösenden analogen und digitalen Bildern hin und her geschaltet, sowie diese im gezoomten Splittscreen nebeneinander laufen lassen.
    Um es kurz zu machen: Trotz einiger Restschwierigkeiten die es momentan durchaus noch gibt, bietet Digitale Aufnahmetechnik mittlerweile mehr Vor- als Nachteile verglichen mit der analogen Variante. Vor fünf bis zehn Jahren hätten die meisten Filmpuristen über diese Behauptung noch - und durchaus zurecht - die Nase grümpft. Aber die Technik hat sich sehr rasant weiterentwickelt. Vor allem das Bildrauschen bei einfarbigen Flächen fällt bei digitalen Aufnahmen wesentlich geringer aus. Das einzige was im Moment viele Filmstudios noch davon abhält flächendeckend bei den Dreharbeiten auf digital umzustellen, sind die Kosten sowie eine gewisse Scheu und Vorurteile vor dem Neuheitsfaktor, als auch die mancherorts fehlende Expertise im Umgang mit der neuen Technik.
    Wie so oft, hält man es für opportun sich zunächt einmal in abwartender Haltung zu üben.

    ... Man schau sich einmal das foto einer analogen und dann das einer digitalen an - normalerweise gewinnt da die gute alte analoge Kamera, nachdem bei der ein Punkt nicht ca. 0.02 mm groß (jetzt nur ein schätzwert) sondern eher im bereich von 300 - 900 nm liegt (lichtwellenlänge +- ein paar hundert, natürlich farbabhängig)....

    Zitat (aus :(
    Ein hohes Auflösungsvermögen setzt ein feines Korn mit
    gleichmässiger Verteilung sowie einen wirksamen Lichthofschutz voraus.
    Die in den technischen Daten angegebenen Zahlenwerte geben die unter dem
    Mikroskop ermittelte Menge von parallelen Linien eines fotografierten Rasters
    an, die - je nach Kontrast des Testobjekts - noch auf einem Millimeter
    Filmoberfläche deutlich getrennt wiedergegeben werden (Angabe:
    Linien/mm). Je höher also diese Werte sind, desto besser ist das
    Auflösungsvermögen des Films. Das praktisch erreichte Auflösungsvermögen
    hängt vom Kameraobjektiv sowie von einer korrekten Belichtung und
    Entwicklung des Films ab. Die angegebenen Zahlenwerte sind daher die
    erreichbaren Bestwerte des Films, werden aber in der Praxis kaum erreicht. Für
    die bildmässige Fotografie ist der niedrigere Kontrast (1,6 : 1) praxisnäher.
    Werte (bei Objektkontrast 1000 : 1) über 200 L/mm kennzeichnen eine äusserst
    hohe Auflösung, über 125 L/mm eine sehr hohe, über 80 eine hohe, um 80
    L/mm eine mittlere und um 50 L/mm eine niedrige


    Die von dir genannte physikalische Grenze der Lichtwellenlänge von 300 nanometer bis 900 nanometer entspräche demnach 3333 bis 1111 L/mm. Wäre zwar zu schön, aber da macht einem dann doch vorher die Praxis einen Strich durch die Rechnung.

  • Eizo S1910: it WOBBLES

    Hello!
    How long has the monitor been in use?
    Did this problem show up from the beginning, or only since recently?


    See if tightening the screws shown in the picture below does anything. If it persists, try to identify the part responsible for the instability.



    (taken from the Prad review of the S1910)


    As a rule (and as we also pointed out in our review), Eizo monitors are known for their great stability. So if all else fails, call Eizo support and get a replacement. Eizo is usually very co-operative in these matters.

  • Tuning of Toshiba LCD TV WLG66P Series

    Thank you for the tip tetsuo: That is exactly what I have already done regarding tuning - I have done it manually. I still cannot get a few channels that the cable sender puts on the "K" band.


    Zitat

    My question is can I change the Digital country tuning mode from " Germany/ France" to include Switzerland?


    Sorry, but I have no idea.
    Maybe phoning Toshiba's support line or googling for discussions of similar experiences by users owning the same TV model/series might help.


    Zitat

    Can you also please give me some more idea/ clue regarding the external interlacer I-scan ?


    http://www.dvdo.com/pro/index.php
    You can find used ones for around 800 Euros on ebay. This may still seem pretty pricy, but it does make all the difference in image quality.


    To get the most out of an iscan video processor, it is best to use it on an LCD TV that allows to deactivate any proprietary filters. This is called 1:1 pixel mapping, meaning that the signal is displayed exactly in the desired format as received from the output of the iscan, without the TV applying to it any processing of its own.
    I don't know if the Toshiba model you've mentioned allows for 1:1 pixel mapping, - so this would be something to consider first if one wants to get the full potential.

  • Tuning of Toshiba LCD TV WLG66P Series

    Do you have a list of frequencies of TV channels available? If not, try to obtain one from your cable provider and enter and save them one by one, since manually scanning the whole frequency spectrum for channels and fine-tuning by hand will probably take ages to finish.


    As to general quality, there are mainly two problems with most LCD TVs nowadays:
    The first is that there simply is not enough adequate high resolution content available yet, which these LCD TVs are intended for.
    The second issue is that displaying PAL signals (or any other signals non-native to the panel's resolution) on LCD TVs will in most cases actually look worse than on CRT TVs, since the signal has to be deinterlaced and interpolated to fit the screen's native resolution. However, the deinterlacer/scaling chips built in most LCD TVs do a fairly poor job. And external deinterlacer solutions (e.g. by iScan) capable of bringing standard definition signals into a format that looks pleasing on a 1366x768 screen are still kind of expensive.


    So, basically, the way to go is
    to either only - or mostly - watch HDTV content, or
    to use an external scaler solution, or
    even better: do both.


    Sorry, that's about the most non-technical explanation I was able to give. I hope I made some sense, though.

  • Which panel is easiest on the eyes?

    If eye strain relief is the main objective, I would definitely go for one of the few monitors featuring a built-in light sensor, as these can constantly and automatically adjust the screen brightness according to the lighting conditions you are currently working under.


    The ones that I am aware of are (in no particular order):


    Iiyama:
    X436
    X486


    Eizo:
    M1950
    L778
    S1721
    S1731
    S1931
    S1921
    S1961


    NEC:
    1980FXi
    1990UN
    1990Sxi
    1990Fx
    2090UXi
    2190UXi


    Sony:
    X75
    X95



    Never let the screen brightness outshine the ambient light conditions you are working under. Also be sure to use a DVI cable as this will considerably increase text sharpness.
    Another tip would be to increase the minimum font size of your browser / Word processing software.


    Good Luck
