If it has better features, colors, etc then it's normal to be a bit more expensive smile.gif Nevertheless, I don't think Samsung is overpriced, look at Dell Ultrasharp or Apple Cinema display and that's what I call super expensive.

featured-wise, i think most of them have equal or slightly less than the samsung counterparts.. but now since it's samsung, its price shud be higher tongue.gif

perhaps i used d wrong word.. i shudnt put it as 'overpriced' but 'samsung price' instead.. laugh.gif

If you have owned both TN and IPS panels LCD before, you will understand that IPS panels are nothing great unless you're into designing whereby color calibration is important for you. Other than that, the TN panels are awesome. Besides, no one will sit 145 degrees beside the LCD when they are using the computer.

haha true true but sometimes when we watch a movie together, those who sit beside the lcd will enjoy the same pictar as those who sit in front, so IPS panel wins in that situation, but due to its expensive price tag, i wud say TN panel would do the job just fine..

personally to me, i prefer a good quality TN panel LCD wif a low price tag on it.. tongue.gif

I understand but my point is, I don't know why people likes to say IPS panels as the God of panels for LCD's smile.gif I think it's relatively inaccurate because IPS panels has it's cons as well, for example:

1. IPS consumes up to 3X more power than a TN panel
2. Refresh rates are a lot slower (I'm sure a hardcore FPS gamers wouldn't like that)
3. Relatively expensive
4. Prone to dead pixels just as easy as a TN panel

Thus it is more like what type of panel suits our needs best and not just spending on costly IPS panels just because the color looks better. I wouldn't mind if my Galil gun looks slightly greyish instead of black but I mind if I get bad input lags or tearing in games.

haha u made it sound a lil bit funny tongue.gif

btw thx for d facts for IPS panel. Never knew it consumed more power than the normal TN panel.
