WAS Dual LCD & MS

Sean,
Interesting thread;
I've been using Dell 2000FP Ultrasharp (1600x1200) Analogue mode for
a year. Fantastically good- come have a look if you have the time.

Comparing it to Compaq 18" LCD in our office shows up the latter's
shortcomings- mainly the result of 1280x1028 limitations, I think.

So my feeling is to wait for 19" with higher resolution. Why is it
that laptops commonly display 1600x1200 on 15"/16" screens yet
external monitors have to be 20.1" to get this res.? (Chris' SGI
being the exception that proves the rule!)

Hi,

The reasons are: 1. viewing angle and 2. response times.

If you want to keep wide viewing angle the liquid crystals must be twisted
differently and this puts constraints on a size of a pixel.

I have found the ultra-high-resolution notebook screens being relatively
slow responsewise.

Yes, but what was the cost? Non-standard digital interface, and outrageous
price. But when introduced, Sgi 1600SW was voted the Best of Comdex anyway...

Cheers!

Smooth shaded views on 1600x1200 X 15" screens are fantastic!

Fun to pan and rotate in real time plus the printouts are absolutely beautiful!

That colorwheel that AC copied comes in handy.
