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.

    They purchased LCD enlargement from some spammer, but they didn't read the warning that the LCD may not look so good afterward.

    Hold your horses mate.

    I hate to be a party pooper, but having a 29" monitor that can only do a native 1024x768 is like a nasty and very expensive joke to me. OK, it's a TV as well, but still I'm far from impressed.

    Maybe I'm a troll, but when I buy a 29" real estate with some USD3200 or whatever (I skimmed through the article for the specs mainly), I expect to be able to enjoy huge resolutions. Take a standard 17" and it'll do you native 1280x1024.

    Other than that, it *might* be useful... if you're really short-sighted.
