Response Time

You may recall several of our previous articles touched on gray-to-gray response time as well. Although LCD specifications are measured by their black-to-white response time (and back), this is not necessarily the best measurement of how quickly your monitor can change the pixel state. Please read our LCD Introduction for a pretty good introduction on gray-to-gray response time. More information can be found by searching the threads in our forums.

Aside from having comparable black-to-white response time, LG.Philips gave us quite a bit of documentation to support the claims that gray-to-gray response time on the 2001FP LCD is also quite good.

Notice that on VA displays, the gray-to-gray response time can be well over 50ms.

    The new NEC 2080UX+ (note the "plus") has the same panel of the Dell 2001FP.
    :)

    Before pronouncing the 2001FP as "new big LCD champion", you should really have a look at the NEC 2080UX, 1600x1200, S-IPS-Panel. Really awesome panel, and not a single annoying dead pixel/subpixel (my panel)!

    We tested with a 9800 Pro. Sorry about the mixup.

    No CRT is sharp as LCD...
    and for color next years we will have 30bit colors LCDs.

    Remember Sony will stop Trinitron production in 2004!

    The main issue of LCD will remain fixed resolution.

    it's improbable for lcd's to ever match the color accuracy and sharpness of a crt.

    neat article.

    I still find the performance of (any) LCD unrewarding for its price. Until LCD's are on the same quality as CRT's I'm not trading in my 17" CTX :).

    Great article Anandtech! I know a lot of us were waiting for a good review of the new LG panel. My only question would be in regards to how it compares to the Samsung 213T? I believe this to be every bit as competitive as the 192T is, especially considering it runs at 1600x1200, just like the 2001 FP does. Granted, it is more expensive, but many of us will use it as a basis of comparison when shopping for a new 20"+ display.

    Before knocking the review for their comment on DVI, one should have their facts in line. All the newer video cards on the market, in particular the newer Radeons and Geforce FX's, support 1600x1200 on the DVI interface. You do not need a pro-level card in order to do this.

    can't remember where I saw it but 9800 series does it I believe

    What video card did you test this with? To the best of my knowledge, consumer grade cards only support 1280x1024 on DVI. You need a fairly expensive pro card if you ever want to use 1600x1200 on DVI which makes it rather flippant to recommend that people can ignore the VGA issues and use DVI instead.
