I'm toying with the idea of getting an LCD monitor again. I use my PC less and less and so I can't really justify it taking up half my room, so I've been downsizing it. I've got rid of my 5.1 speakers and have quality stereo speakers now (and boy do I not miss 5.1 btw) and now I want a smaller desk, which means the CRT has to go.
I've currently got a 19" CRT and a 15" TFT (an old PVA) sat next to each other. I use the TFT for browsing (it only cost me £15 off ebay) and the CRT for gaming.
I've been following the TFT scene a bit now and again, and last time I checked the VP930 was the best all round 19" 5:4 ratio TFT around. I've owned a TN Film panel in the past (Samsung 913B iirc) and I hated the poor viewing angles and poor black depth, so I'm only considering MVA, PVA and IPS screens. I also don't want widescreen, and I don't want a higher res than 1280*1024, so that means 19". Also there's viewsonics new dead subpixel policy on their Pro (VP) series.
I just want to check I haven't missed anything in the last year, any new screens, and I also want to know if there's any developements just around the corner which might be worth waiting for? For instance, LED backlighting.
Any and all help much appreciated
Simon.
