Its 2ms grey to grey and not the typical response time. Its typical response time is said to be 5ms. Looks good to me. Will be nice if someone posts a review.

Its HD. That means it supports 1920*1080.

Plus, it has a 2ms response time. OMG.

For 13.5K, its a must buy.

:eek:
Its AWSSOME!
I think its going to be my next monitor, if I ever decide to buy one in the nere future.

^^
[OT]Please mention your IGP.[/OT]

Your link mentions that the resolution is 1920 X 1080. Thats 16:9 aspect ratio. I dont want that. :x
Shouldnt it be 16:10; like 1920 X 1200 ?? Otherwise it isnt suitable for desktop. Too wide. :neutral:

ya its 16:9!!! good for watching movies!!!! but y bad for desktop????
IronManForever
Sep 16, 2008 at 8:34 PM
^^ That resolution will result a lot of unused space in desktop. I dont want that at all. I even prefer 4:3 more than 16:10 unless it is movies.

WHERE ? WHERE ?
Online. On a review site, I read a US guy buying from Canada; the total was 190 US$ for him. Take the word if you will. But such things are not for us, thats for sure. :)

Could you post a click a picture of the ad and put up here?

We had got this display for review and after it was done reviewing I was using it for a week as my monitor. I must say I really fell in love with it. The picture quality was excellent. Plus the HDMI input means one can connect PS3 or XBOX 360 to it as well. I think it is a great buy.

no issue with monitor, right ???
Of course the issue is with the monitor! What were you thinking? 720p resolution and the likes yeild wrong AR.

Plus there is no 1:1 pixel mapping which makes me feel sick about it. I will need it as I'll be connecting any large monitor to many sources.

Any thoughts on how this monitor will fare if used as a TV with Tata Sky? Considering its a full HD monitor and Tata Sky is not HD. What is the maximum resolution of this monitor?

I haven't seen Tata Sky picture on regular tv so I haven't got the foggiest of idea how it'd look on this monitor. Plus there is also the question how you'd connect it to the monitor, unless of course Tata Sky STB has HDMI.

Tata Sky Sucks

I haven't seen Tata Sky picture on regular tv so I haven't got the foggiest of idea how it'd look on this monitor. Plus there is also the question how you'd connect it to the monitor, unless of course Tata Sky STB has HDMI.
1. Tata Sky Sucks.

2. Tata Sky looks terrible on LCD and Widescreen Displays, TVs and Monitors included.

3. Tata Sky Sucks.

4. Get a 35" 15K CRT TV if you want to have the best Tata Sky Experience.

5. Tata Sky Sucks.

6. Tata Sky can be used with any monitor, as long as you use a conversion cable.

7. Tata Sky Sucks.

8. LCD monitors look best at their native resolutions.

9. Tata Sky Sucks.





PS: Tata Sky SUCKS.
