      What do you see as faults of TFT? by desiredusername2008-04-28 08:10:05
        Haven't seen it in real life, no by halfgaar2008-04-28 08:27:41
          That particular panel addresses a lot of those by EndlessWaves 2008-04-28 10:48:25
It's an IPS panel so it's got very good viewing angles and and 24-bit colour. If the mac you saw was a 24" iMac then that's an IPS panel too.

24-bit colour is pretty common on the higher end monitors now, it's only the cheap TN ones that don't have it.

I don't know about linearity/colour discreteness but I would think a lot of that would be down to the general quality of many LCDs, although I don't have any experience of whether the NEC can do it.

On responsiveness, my CRT suffers from some serious ghosting-like effect itself wheras I think the best LCDs only have a single transparent ghost nowadays. I don't know how good this is on the best CRTs so maybe some catchup is still needed there.
