i got my LG L226WTQ with contrast ratio 5000:1 too but some of the shop still carry the 3000:1 batch?

u won't believe it. i bought it from pc zone yesterday cost me rm1060, i thought i'm gettin the 3000:1 batch the salesman also don't know "yet" the box stated 5000:1 i'm not very sure that time so i decided to call my brother who work at sg to double confirm the latest batch of L226WTQ with 5000:1 contrast ratio & vola! he said in sg L226WTQ did available for the 5000:1 batch! i also check with thunder match, they selling the 3000:1 batch & having the same price with pc zone

i've check the sg site already, confirmed with 5000:1 wor Latest Batch Of L226WTQ i think other country got different model name but in similar spec... who knows ?

i don't think msia will available for the L227WT cuz most of the country on their local distributor release the same model but mod their model naming & colours. i've look few countries that on par with L226WTQ, they really look "different" on certain spec...

LG Global

LG Canada

LG HK

LG UK

LG SG

weird huh ? i'm not gettin any ghosting or halo btw, how to check our LG is using which panel le?

i can only check the LCD asset ID which can be view by forte-manager, stated....

checked! mine is

L2X6w
TSUMO58 VER 1.80
070628 HSKIM ETI. 0

CLEAR ETI > NO
AUTO COLOR > NO
AGING > OFF
PANEL > CMO22W 4L
NVRAM INIT > NO

i'm on CMO panel too but after i read through the forum u gave us, some forumer said the new firmware like 1.14 or the latest 1.80 already solved the ghosting effect.

Added on October 17, 2007, 2:18 amgosh! as for the service menu panel thing is actually not telling which panel we're using xtknight at that forum said it actually showing wat colour temperature on specific panel. & we can change the panel option too

my L226WTQ panel option got:

CMO22W 4L = Chi Mei Optoelectronics

LPL 22W WCG = LG-Philips
22W C1
22W 4L
22W 4G
20W 4L
20W CI

AUO 22W 4L = AU Optronics
20W 4L
20W 6L
20W 4LG

CPT 20W 6L = ???
20W 4L

i tried all the panel already, seems not much different for the colour temperature but only a bit "differ" for the colour to have cooler & warmer

i've google for more info about ghosting effect on L226WTQ, seems the latest batch don't have such issue exist already & i found 1 of the forumer able to solve the ghosing effect by applying different panel setting

Dink Solved his problem - no ghosting effect anymore...
