alright, sounds like they are improving indeed! OTOH, the native res is still a major issue, how many ppl w/ 22" are forced to buy very expensive graphic cards to play recent games? I can play in XGA on my 19", I can also watch movies in 720p or 1080p if I feel like it, hell I can even play old W98 games in 640x480 if I fancy it...not much can be done about that on LCD I'm afraid.

there's no doubt that those cheap 22/24" screens are driving the high end graphic cards market...and I'm still doubtful about the actual CR(after calibration) of those 22/24" PC monitors(they prolly will have a hard time exceeding 600:1 and will never reach >1000:1).

PS: ok this one is TN, got 5 stars in their test and gives 900:1 calibrated(french link again, sorry): http://www.lesnumeriques.com/article-240-7268-38.html

and here they say that the best IPS can indeed reach 1000:1 calibrated, but then their black level is more light gray than "black": http://www.lesnumeriques.com/article-240-4306-71.html

so on the CR front, there still isn't much news...is there? it sounds retarded to me to buy a $600 graphic card to play it on a 600:1 monitor(even if it's huge )

I'll keep hating LCD w/ passion, you do the same w/ CRT...and we'll call it a day
