Tom Reviews 13 LCD Displays
n3r0.m4dski11z noted that Tom's Hardware has a review of 13 LCD Displays
for anyone who has been thinking about making the leap from the CRT to that
fancy shmantsy LCD stuff thats all the rage with the kids these days.
As usual, they do a pretty good job explaining the issues. In this
case comparing CRT and LCD technology, as well as covering a ton of
screens.
There's 40 hours in a day now? Now I have to buy a new watch....
Have you seen the VIN number on my car? its the same as the PIN number on my LCD display.
anyone know where an ATM machine is?

Ignorance is bliss!
Tom's used to be
the same for me.
But when it took
longer to render
each of the 20 pages
of HTML
at one paragraph
per pageview and
4-5 banner ads,
I stopped reading
Tom's Hardware
.
Which is a shame -- I cut my PC-hardware teeth in the early Pentium-I era learning about the distinctions between chipsets, the various busses and their overclockability, etc. at Tom's. Now I go to Anand, or any other similar site that features a "Print this!" button on their pages, and/or at least more than one sentence per pageview.
That said, Samsung was pretty braindead to dismiss hardware websites as inferior to print magazines as sources for reviews. Particularly for leading-edge products (like LCD panels), you've gotta get the early-adopter mindshare, and I don't know any early adopters who get their tech information from dead trees anymore. (By the time the dead-tree magazine is printed, half the information in it, and all the pricing, is obsolete.)

No, if sex were licensed under the GPL, everyone would get to join in.

Oh wait... COM+D monitors rock!
Wait... this is the last time, I promise: .NetD monitors kick ass!

No, is sex were licensed under the GPL, I wouldn't have to pay for it.

I'm sure someone at Samsung profoundly regrets the sales lost (both of them) by withholding monitors from Tom.
What's a sig?
LCDs typically have crisper pixels, use far less power, have no headache-inducing flicker, allow better desktop usage (I gained about a foot when I replaced my 19" CRT with a 19" LCD!), often support pivoting, and are more likely to get you laid.
