Samsung LTM295W 29" LCD Review

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the good-enough-to-lick dept.

An anonymous reader noted a review of the Samsung LTM295W. Quick excerpt "The contrast ratio of 600:1 is amazing, and takes the cake for being the highest Iâ(TM)ve seen to date here with the site. I was pleased to see a more than acceptable brightness level of 450cd/m2. The response time isnâ(TM)t anything to snuff at, standing at 22ms. For viewing angles everyone should be pleased with 170/170 (W&H). The last mention is the pixel pitch which sits at .4935(h) X .4935(w). The optimal resolution while in PC use is 1024 x 768 @ 75Hz although the maximum is 1280 x 768 @ 75Hz." Not the highest resolution, but still, quite impressive.

    I think a careful examination of the practical longevity [...] requires more features, not more inches.

    Must...resist...obvious...comment.

    am i the only one who thinks these things cost too much?
    you could save yourself $2800 by getting a 19'' and moving your chair 3 inches closer to the screen.

    Thereâ(TM)s no question in my mind that most of you, if it was possible, would love an LCD plopped in front of you rather than a conventional CRT which hogs up 50% of your desk space, well, what if it was not only an LCD but one which is larger than most of your mates home TV? With a viewable area of 29â

    In one sentence, they're complaing about how much space CRTs take up on your desk and the next is about 29" of LCD goodness. I'm not sure that would even fit on my desk. :)

    Yes, think of it in terms of each pixel containing enough brightness as 2000 lightbulbs, and a screen with the area (when spread out) of 5 football fields, and the ability to display 5 libraries of congress (LOC) at once. All of this packed into something the size of 1/1240 of a VW Beetle. Also, it has the storage capacity of 50 DVD's.

    HTH!

    At $3139, I'd measure the cost in VW Beetle units!
