another TFT journal

by spiROZE • 5 Nov 2008, 17:33 • Journals
Hi guys, I'm thinking about buying a new screen for my pc since atm i have an old 17inch 25ms shit :)

It should have/be/...:
* 22inch WIDESCREEN
* good for movies & games
* not more than 2ms

I don't want a CRT since I want too keep my desk clean and I just prefer the design of a TFT/LCD.

Any experiences with bad screens are also welcome so I can set them on my blacklist :)!

Grrrttttzz

ps: do you guys know some nice tft forums where people discuss on them?

spiROZE 5 Nov 2008, 17:54
why does it suck for ET? because you're used to play on a CRT?
Parent

can anyone tell me why the Samsung Syncmaster 226BW has a 3000:1 contrast and the newer screen Samsung Syncmaster 2253BW has a 1000:1 contrast :/ ?
▼
fredd 5 Nov 2008, 18:18
3000:1 is probably dynamic contrast
Parent

spiROZE 5 Nov 2008, 18:22
sry but what does that exactly means?

Dynamic contrast ratio

A notable recent development in the LCD technology is the so called "dynamic contrast" (DC). When there is a need to display a dark image, the display would underpower the backlight lamp (or decrease the aperture of the projector's lens using an iris), but will proportionately amplify the transmission through the LCD panel. This gives the benefit of realizing the potential static contrast ratio of the LCD panel in dark scenes, when the image is watched in a dark room. The drawback is that if a dark scene does contain small areas of superbright light, image quality may be over exposed.


It is also common to market only the dynamic contrast ratio capability of a display (when it is better than its static contrast ratio), which should not be directly compared to the static contrast ratio. A plasma display with a static 5000:1 contrast ratio will show superior contrast to an LCD display with 5000:1 dynamic and 1000:1 static contrast ratio when the input signal contains full range of brightnesses from 0 to 100% simultaneously. However they will be on par when input signal ranges only from 0 to 20% brightness.


tl;dr dynamic contrast ratio = marketing trick, both displays probably have the same (1000:1) static contrast ratio

Parent

spiROZE 5 Nov 2008, 18:24
damn that sucks :p so what would happen if I would plug such a screen into my pc? the 226BW also won't work fine on my pc you think?
Parent
▼
pala 5 Nov 2008, 18:26
it will but ull have like 0fps on games such as cod4, crysis,ac etc
+ this gfx sucks for movies, buy a 8600 if you are that short in money
Parent
▼
fredd 5 Nov 2008, 18:26
nothing, it would work for internet and movies probably, but not for gaming (too low fps)
Parent

S2xtuS 5 Nov 2008, 18:57

spiROZE 5 Nov 2008, 18:18
I don't mind about the price, I prefer paying too much and having a nice screen than paying less and sitting here with an old version or a bad version or smth fucked <3
