• High Definition TV or just a HD Monitor?

  2008-11-10, Posted by wwittern (No answers yet)

  I'm moving up to the HD world and with HD digital cable available, why would I need a HDTV when a HD monitor would provide the same picture quality and probebly cost less? The cable box does all the tuneing so I really don't need it built into a HDTV.

• How can a 4:3 monitor be widescreen too?

  2008-09-09, Posted by mvbirdo (1 Answers)

  I'm looking at a LG W2242tQ-BF at http://www.directron.com/w2242tqbf.html#caption. This monitor claims to be 4:3 (which I like, because much of my P'shop work is 4:3), but it also claims to be widescreen, and the resolution is 1680 X 1050, which is 1.6:1, not 1.33:1. In a 4:3 mode I presume the horizontal res is cut back to 1400:1050. If it were really 4:3 and full screen, the res would need to be 1680 X 1260. What is 4:3 about this monitor?

• Types of panels and backlights, questions

  2008-09-09, Posted by mvbirdo (1 Answers)

  Thanks for the nice writeup, but you didn't cover a) TN panels, and b) backlight type. I understand that most LCD panels use an older technology called "TN" and that the newest and best is something else. Can one tell when looking at a monitor on the shelf which kind it is? Where can I find this info on line? How much does it matter? Most reviews don't mention it -- I only learned about this from your User Reviews.

  Re backlighting, I know that flourescents have been used in the past, and that white LED backlighting is the latest and greatest. The same questions apply: how do I know for a given model what kind of lighting it uses? I presume I have to research this on line, because the boys at Best Buy probably don't have a clue. I would think LED lighting would be longer lasting and more pure in color. I need high quality for photo retouching and color accuracy, but I'm on a budget, too. Your advice will be much appreciated. Thank you.
