Which is the best blogs/newssite for monitors according to you?


I have three that I follow. I grade them

1) PC Monitors
Feels objective and is updated fairly often. Best of the sites according to me.

http://www.pcmonitors.org/


2) Flat Panels Displays
Fairly often updated but not totally focused on PC monitors.

http://www.flatpanelshd.com/


3) TFT Central
Updated a little bit less. Not se keen on it because it feels a little bit fanboyish but it has a good panellibrary.

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/


Any more recommendations? and which one do you prefer?
 
Interesting thread ;).

Well personally I follow all of these and would recommend anybody looking to find out about existing and upcoming monitor tech. does too. I actually like the slightly different slant that these websites have on news. I think TFT Central is particularly good at addressing 'professional' monitors and this reflects the style in which their reviews are written - the information provided on the panels themselves is excellent and unique to this website. FlatPanelsHD is interesting because it looks at things in an easily digestible format and covers a broad range (even TVs!) I best reserve comments on PC Monitors for others as I may be a little biased but I honestly think they all compliment one another nicely. :cool:
 
An interesting thread as you're going to get two replies here from the people who run the websites listed :)

as PCM2 says, all good resources with different slants on things and a good mix of reviews. FPHD tends to be more brief because the primary site (flatpanels.dk) is a Danish site, and Rasmus is Danish himself so the translated English versions are a little more brief than the main reviews.

I'm not sure about your comment about TFT central (my site) being "fanboyish" to be honest as i can honestly say i dont have any favouritism towards any manufacturer or screen, i just tell it as i see it. If something is crap, I'll say so :)

Anther useful news sites is Engadget for news, and then the individual press pages for manufacturers and vendors. you will probably find the main news tends to end up on one of the 3 sites youve listed above anyway
 
Intresting. I didnt expect this! :D

@Baddass. My trust for TFT central really went down when Dell released U2412M instead of 16:9 U2412M which TFTCentral claimed it to be. That U2412HM news really spreaded like a fire in dry grass.
 
fair enough Trana, you're entitled to your view of course. When i tell you that Dell themselves told us it would be the U2412HM (16:9) and showed us a presentation with that model and specs on it, hopefully you will understand where the error came from. we reported in good faith on what we were told and Dell then either changed it, or corrected their own internal mistake. it wasnt just us who were told that either as Flatpanels were also told the same thing, by someone else in Dell, and you'll see they reported the same news which was not originally from us as a source.

anyway, these things do happen sadly but at least we did correct it :)
