We are going to talk about a second monitor designed to work with Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision stereoscopic glasses. This time it is a solution from ViewSonic.
According to Samsung, C-PVA matrix is only 10% more expensive than TN-matrixes that have taken over the market these days. However, it is way better in terms of viewing angles and overall image quality.
Many mainboard makers are trying to release premium-class models that would differ from their regular counterparts by exterior looks and sometimes even specifications. Today we are going to talk about two solutions like that from Asus and LG, and see if their actual features correspond with the marketing positioning.
This solution from NEC is a monitor built on S-PVA matrix that stands out due to excellent viewing angles and high-quality color reproduction at a decent price point. Read more about it in our detailed review.
We usually mention LCD monitors with 120Hz refresh rate that have just started selling when we come to speak of Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision stereoscopic glasses. However, our experience shows that you may actually benefit from high refresh rate even without the special glasses. Read more in our review!
In our today’s article we will try summing up everything we already know about LCD displays in order to answer the common question: what monitor shall I buy? This article is not another test session or a theoretical discussion. It will point out specific modules that could be interesting by certain criteria.
In our today’s article we are going to discuss another seven displays with 19-inch diagonal from Acer, Asus, Samsung and ViewSonic. Among them are a couple of pretty unusual solutions: one based on PVA matrix and another one with a built-in web-cam.
Dell 2408WFP is not just an S-PVA matrix with excellent viewing angles, but also great color reproduction, extended color gamut and a large selection of interfaces including HDMI and even DisplayPort. Read more in our review!
Samsung engineers have always been by far among the best when it comes to exterior monitor design. However, they have absolutely outdone themselves in the Samsung Touch of Color aka ToC series. We are going to talk about 6 monitors from this series ranging from 19" to 26".
Samsung SyncMaster XL20 caused a sensation back in the days, because Samsung was the first to introduce a monitor with LED backlighting and remarkable color gamut at an affordable price. It used to be the only solution like that for a while, but it couldn’t go on like that forever. Today we are going to discuss two more representatives of the same family.
Today we are going to talk about another 3D monitor, the main competitor to Zalman Trimon – iZ3D monitor featuring two types of matrices within a single case. Read more in our new article!
Today we are going to talk about five LCD monitors with 22-inch diagonal. All of these monitors have one similarity: they are all built with 5ms TN matrices. This roundup will include solutions from NEC, Samsung and ViewSonic.
No matter how many polygons or light sources contemporary graphics cards can create in a single frame, the real world has one principal difference from the virtual world: it is truly 3-dimensional. Luckily, the situation is not hopeless. Meet the new stereo monitor from Zalman that changes it all.
Lenovo ThinkVision L220x is an almost unique monitor for two reasons. Its 22-inch screen supports 1920x1200 resolution and is built using S-PVA matrix with remarkable viewing angles. Read more in our review!

The idea to use two monitors on a single computer system is not that new. However, this article will represent its very unique implementation: a set including a regular 22-inch monitor and an additional 7-inch one. Read about a new Samsung solution in our detailed review!
Although TN matrices are an attribute of budget monitor models, they have not just penetrated the relatively expensive 24-inch monitor segment, but they tend to be a leader there already, at least judging y the number of new models announced lately. But is it necessarily a bad thing? Not very advanced characteristics of TN matrices are well compensated by their low price. Today we are going to talk about 6 monitors on such matrix from Acer, Dell, NEC and Samsung.
