Final Thoughts

COMDEX certainly has changed in recent shows. It is too early to speculate if COMDEX will even be around next year, but it is quite easy for us to say that CES will be the show to attend in January.

For all of those wondering what we have been up to for the last couple of weeks as far as LCDs are concerned, we have some neat new stuff to look forward to. Aside from the 193P and 172X from Samsung, we are currently matching the 213T up against our reigning champion, the Dell 2001FP. We also have Albatron's incredible 30" cinematic display and samples from Sony's HS and SDM LCD lines. Hopefully, we will have some samples of ViewSonic's second generation VG line as well. We have quite a busy lineup ahead, so hang on tight!

    Kris,

    Cool. Look for a bunch of old guys in wife-beaters, drunk and with AVN passes around their necks touting the worlds-greatest new killer app.

    My company's image is very important to me. As the founder, I'd have it no other way.

    oops, never mind, I see it's been changed to AGP and PCI, now.

    I'm still hoping someone can tell me how they managed to have two AGP cards in a single system?

    Yes we will have a bit of CES coverage.

    Look for the young guys in suits :) Thats us!

    Kris,

    I really hope that last comment you said about the CES is true. I'm planning on going this year. Do you or you collegues plan on going this coming year and doing an article?

    most monitors are 8 bit, only the AUO 16ms panel is 6 bit. The LG Philips and Samsung 16 and 12ms panels are 8bit. Sharp is working on 10bit panels by the end of the year.

    Humm, I'm a bit depressed to see yet another monitor company leave the CRT space; I'm still not ready for LCDs financially, and I'm still iffy on their features considering the 6bit and pixel response times(I mean we're just now at 16ms, which is barely acceptable in my book since that's nessisary for 60fps). I hope NEC stays in the game a bit longer, otherwise I'm going to have to start hording CRTs(although the current Samsung 757MB I use will last for quite some time I'm sure).

    LG Philips is doing first runs on its 19" 16ms S-IPS panel. I will have to try to check with NEC concerning that panel.

    I know NEC has had a lot of quantity issues. They dont have a huge production capability and they probably wont be able to persue it much longer.

    Nec said they will use a proprietary S-IPS panel for the 1980SX successor. :\

    LG.Philips already make a 19'' 25ms S-IPS panel used in the LG L1910B model.
    But the pro model L1910P has a Fujitsu MVA.
    Someone say that maybe they still have production quantity problem (?)
