    We have a winner in the LCD market

    Ok...what do you think about this?

    Its at Best Buy for $379.

    Is there anything about it that you would shy away from? They say for $50 more (extended warrenty) if a pixel ever goes bad, they replace the monitor.

    Unless someone knows of something bad with these, I think I'm going to get it.

    Thanks for all the help.......and I really do need it.

    it should be nice, that is one of the newer samsung panels. nothing to complain about regarding the spec although 8ms response is probably according to the new grey to grey measurement and not the old iso standard. it is probably a 16ms panel. anyway prolly the fastest you will get these days.

    it was not clear whether a DVI cable was included in the box. check that if you want one.

    1280 x 1024 native resolution is probably quite nice at 19". It is a little small on the 17" samsungs i have but i am getting used to it.

      DVI cable doesn't come with it, but since I need to hook it into a KVM, its ok. Not all my machines have DVI.

      I was thinking it was pretty decent, but just wanted a second opinion.

      Still not sure about the "pixels going bad" thing.

      Cheers

        You guys may be interested in this - Panasonic is abandoning the lead-acid market for good. So now only Yuasa remains.

        Toshiba T3100/20 Bought at the flea market - kinda working....
        by dicky96
        Hi guys
        I picked up a couple of interesting items last weekend at the car boot sale / flea market

        One was already working apart from cleaning out the RAM and PCI slots (Asrock P4-66G Skt 478 mobo, 3GHz CPU, Geforce 2MX 400 and Sounblaster Live)

        The other is this interesting laptop - I paid €25 euros for it - and it weighs a ton!

        So it's a Toshiba T3100/20 which from a quick google is a 80286 CPU, 20Mb HDD, 640K Ram, and it's from around 1985

        The guy said it was 'funcionando', which I took with a pinch of salt, but yes basically it...

        Panasonic TH-65FX800A backlight LED's working but picture is very dark
        by Bazfletch3
        Hi all

        While I have quite a decent background in electrical & electronic troubleshooting & repairs, this is my first time stripping down an LCD TV for repair.... I have inherited a 3yr old Panasonic LCD which has a picture, but it is quite dark (too dark to be watchable - but still quite easy to see; I didnt need a torch to see it).

        I started by checking and trying to adjust all of the picture and backlighting levels, but that made little to no difference. I also did a factory reset.

        From there I envisaged that the backlighting wasn't working, however...

        ACER XV340CK 34" black screen
        by seve91
        Hi everyone,
        I got this monitor with black screen problem.
        I thought the problem was in the motherboard, so I bought 2 smashed monitor same model to disassemble boards and swap them, but same issue remains.
        After some tries I've found out that connecting LVDS cable on-fly after powering on the LCD panel let me see the whole screen for half sec, then goes black again.
        TCON got two output flats, because each flat goes to a tiny board with some COF, each tiny board manages half LCD panel.
        I discover that if I leave connected only right side (right flat of the TCON),...
