Thank you for the comparison.Actually I am not very sure how big difference is 6 bit colour and 8 bit colour.I am not sure how poor the viewing angle on TN panel vs pva , mva.The problem is my area doesn't have all those LCD for preview.
I want to ask what is the different between H-IPS vs those CRT monitor ? CRT monitor using 6 bit ?
Uh about crt i am not too sure bro. In this day and age not many Crts being made/sold except over ebay. I would advise you get a new lcd monitor because it's more convenient. 2 years back i was also unsure about switching from crt to lcd but now i am fine with the changes

Lcd technology has improved a lot. If you want cheap get TN ( not sure what model because i am not particularly interested in this segment ), or if you want better get PVA ( i heard Eizo ? make good pva monitors ), or get IPS ( the HP i have is the best performer for the price. It's cheaper then the other IPS in the 24'' category i found for me at least. )
The best way is to see the monitors in person and judge for yourself. I am not sure which shop has many good lcd monitors to look from though, maybe at lowyat ?
erxier - My dell 2405FPW was like this. You needed to give a good push to lock it on. My new Hp you slot it over the locking device. As a bonus the HP panel has a easily removable mekanism

TN + film
The inexpensive 'TN (twisted nematic) + film' display is the most common consumer display type. The pixel response time on modern TN panels is sufficiently fast to avoid the shadow-trail and ghosting artifacts of earlier production. The fast response time has been emphasised in advertising TN displays, although in most cases this number does not reflect performance across the entire range of possible color transitions. Response times were quoted for an ISO standard black-to-white transition and did not reflect the speed of much more common transitions from one shade of grey to another. More recent use of RTC (Response Time Compensation – Overdrive) technologies has allowed manufacturers to significantly reduce grey-to-grey (G2G) transitions, without significantly improving the ISO response time. Response times are now quoted in G2G figures, with 4ms and 2ms now being commonplace for TN Film based models. The good response time and low cost has led to the dominance of TN in the consumer market.
The TN display suffers from limited viewing angles, especially in the vertical direction. For colour representation many panels use 6 bits per colour, instead of 8, and are consequently unable to display the full 24-bit truecolor (16.7 million colour shades) available from modern graphics cards. These panels can display interpolated 24-bit color using a dithering method which combines adjacent pixels to simulate the desired shade. They can also use FRC (Frame Rate Control), which quickly cycles pixels over time to simulate a given shade. These color simulation methods are noticeable to most people and bothersome to some[citation needed]. FRC tends to be most noticeable in darker tones, while dithering appears to make the individual pixels of the LCD visible. Overall, color reproduction and linearity on TN panels is poor. Shortcomings in display color gamut (often referred to as a percentage of the NTSC 1953 color gamut) are also due to backlighting technology. It is not uncommon for displays with CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps)-based lighting to range from 40% to 76% of the NTSC color gamut, whereas displays utilizing white LED backlights may extend past 100% of the NTSC color gamut – a difference quite perceivable by the human eye.
The transmittance of a pixel of an LCD panel typically does not change linearly with the applied voltage,[1] and the sRGB standard for computer monitors requires a specific nonlinear dependence of the amount of emitted light as a function of the RGB value.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCDBasically Tn panels are 6bit panels that use FRC to emulate the colors 8bit panels have. There are effects from this and could be annoying if you notice them. Also the color production isn't as good like the post above mentions. The best way is to find out what your budget is, then compare the monitors in first person and know what things to look out for such as the 3 different panel types which all have shortcomings and also pros.

Bro, maybe you yourself think that you're not trying to be rude,a lot of us are offended by ur posts.There are so much better ways to communicate and pass the knowledge of which lcd is the best without offending fellow forumers and making you urself look like an arsehole. no offence but the way you post sounds like you are better than everybody else,no one is better than you. but to me, you are still nobody.

Not everyone here can afford an ips panel, everybody also know that panel is the best laÂ

Â

Â

 the fact of financial constraint and due to the availability of ips panel here made a lot of us choose tn instead. your post like 'tn panel makes me puke'... WTF? can't you say in a better way?
IMHO,there are a lot of posting ethics you should learn better people can respect you.no offence.
Well i already explained myself out of courtesy, so if you want to make it personal then that is your problem. It's not my job to please anybody especially you who is a nobody

I never said i was better than anybody so plz .... don't creat havok
This is a discussion about panel types so there is no reason to make it personal now do we ?

or are you the real arsehole wanting to make an issue out of nothing just because people bought a better monitor then you did ?
What is wrong with copy paste ??? People only look here so easier to copy paste what. Also include source if they want to read for themselves and also giving credit to the original authors ? Even something like this you got issue ??? Get a life seriously
Your just as bad as BN who sent that reporter to lockup ISA because she reported the truth, and in this instance TN is not as good as PVA/IPS thats all. Not my problem if your unhappy and jealous if i chose to get a better monitor so you need to pick a fight
As i said, if people have a budget that is low then yes tn is a good choice however they need to keep in mind the quality their getting for it. So whatever

PS: seriously, don't take offense when people grading panels from their opinions. You act like your the inventor or something. Unlike you, i don't mind if you want trash IPS/PVA or whatever since it doesn't effect me so why should it for you

If you want to keep things factual and disagree that is fine. Don't make it personal word of advise

If you want to pick a fight go play counter strike or something and let the adults talk
