    OLED News?

    SEDs are not much more of a threat to LCDs than plasmas are. OLEDs are a different matter, but they have been 'just around the corner' for some while now. Meanwhile LCDs will continue to improve and drop in price...

    I can't wait for OLED monitors

    Samsung has made flexible LCD panel prototypes, so OLED is not the only tech capable of this, although I don't know what kind of backlight solution they used for this...

    is it normal for my lcd to be VERY bright?

    It's perfectly normal... LCD manufactures do that in order to claim better contrast ratios as it's much easier to increase the white levels than the black levels on an LCD...

    Review: Inspiron 9300

    You always get more battery life watching the movie from the HDD instead of running it from the optical drive and even more if you load parts of or the whole movie into the RAM memory, i.e. on a virtual RAM disk. Loading a movie into the RAM makes only sense in certain situations, though...

    Here's an all new Samsung monitor lineup from CeBIT 2005, Hanover

    SyncMaster 242MP has nice specs but otherwise looks too bulky and boring. IIRC, it will also have a ridiculously high price...

    PCI Dolby Digital Live Card on the market?!

    Now, if they only could make a PCMCIA version for laptops... Obviously they'd need to throw out the analog connectors to make it fit but that would be fine with me...

    37" sharp Aqous LCD for gaming?

    Apart from the Sharp being smaller and more high-res, the sharpness issue is a problem for Plasma displays when using them as monitors. LCDs generally display much sharper text etc than Plasma screens. However I'd maybe wait a while for a 37" 1920x1080 display, there are rumours some will be...

    CES: Samsung debuts two LCD monitors

    The 242MP will btw be the very first monitor to use a 16ms PVA panel. I woudn't expect it to be ghosting free on the level of 16ms TN or S-IPS panels but it should still be the most gamer friendly PVA monitor this far...

    CES: Samsung debuts two LCD monitors

    These are probably only recommended prices and especially the 242MP will likely have a considerable profit margin accounted for in that price which can be cut off by internet resellers. I also believe they will release a 243T replacement model using the same panel but stripped off the tuner...

    You cant be serious! SATA needs a floppy?!?

    Wouldn't an XP install CD with SP1 or SP2 slipstreamed into it solve this issue (= a more up to date driver pool available)?

    New Dell Monitor!!! 12ms response time, also claiming 16.7 million colors...

    Laugh all you want, but when you're finished laughing read this: LCDs and CRTs are both affected by response time as well as refresh rate. Response time is the actual physical speed by which the screen is capable of updating its content. Refresh rate is the speed by which the screen content...

    New Dell Monitor!!! 12ms response time, also claiming 16.7 million colors...

    As it's been explained, response time isn't a constant value and the worst case response time values can be as much as 2-3 times the listed (usually black-to-white a.k.a. on-off) response time. So, while you won't reach an actual 8ms response time with a 75Hz refresh rate, by simply having...

    CRT Displays are a dying breed [Will be totally gone within 3 years] Long live TFT

    Not really... One of the pitfalls being inferior color reproduction will become LCDs strong point, superior color reproduction using LED backlights. If LED backlighting is applied in a certain way, then yet one more pitfall, inferior contrast, will become LCDs strong point, giving LCDs...
