OT: NEC LCDs

Your NEC LCD 2000's 20" screen has a native resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. The newer generation 2010 has a wider viewing angle of 160 degrees as well as support for portrait and landscape orientations. An even newer model, the 2010X, supports DVI.

Advancements in TFT-LCD technology over the past two years have made a big differences in picture quality. Dig into recent reviews on LCD screens on PC Mag, and it's quite evident that even among the high-end models from notable manufactures such as NEC, IBM, Sony, Nanao, Viewsonic, performance varies significantly. Cost sometimes does not equate with quality, so buyer beware.

The 240T is the only display in the world which uses Multiple Domain Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA) TFTs. Basically, it has a 450:1 contrast ratio, 170-degree viewing angle in both left/right and top/bottom axis, as well as a response time which is three times faster than the competition, for better presentation of rapid motion video.

I think the latest VE-170 LCD screen from Viewsonic might also be using PVA TFTs, probably supplied by Samsung.
