Anyone got one and is R2000ish a good deal?

Any other recommendations in that price range? MUST be 1920x1200.
 
I've got a itchy trigger-finger for one of these.
I watch a lot of 4:3 and 16:9 so the added height will be cool.
It's got a cool base/stand too..
I think I'll do it now before prices go up.
 
nice 1920x1200 find, I might just get one! please post cheapest link.

And what exactly is that?

Yeah but 800:1 is what one gets in cheaper screens. Most are 1000:1.

Pass.

If it is accurate, then it is fine. Screens generally have lower contrast ratios than what is listed, IPS panels are particularly notorious for this. HP ZR24W, for example, is listed at 1000:1 static and 3000:1 dynamic but will really struggle to break 700:1 and 1400:1, respectively. So if it is a TN panel and actually reaches the listed contrast ratio (and this remains consistent with brightness levels), then it will be fine.

Cool. So the usual brands claiming 1000:1 static on their LCD's is merely marketing bs?

Most of the stuff seen in brochures & packaging is BS. Don't tell me you buy all that crap homemark/verimark etc spout :D

Things are subjective & relative. There's this field in industry called perception management...

Hehe, not at all. I was just under the impression one can trust static contrast ratios - compared to dynamic, on the other hand...

Anyway, can anyone comment on VESA wall mount compatibility?

Pretty much. You do not need a very high contrast ratio to get a good picture. Having a dark black is much more important to overall picture quality for desktop usage, since optimum brightness in normal viewing conditions is 120 cd/m2. This means that you want the lowest black possible, <0.2 cd/m2, rather than a huge contrast ratio. At 120 cd/m2, you will only need a contrast ratio of 600 if you have a black point of 0.2 cd/m2.
