    1. MANY monitors lose Contrast or other adjustments when in DVI mode.

    2. Often, when an "apparently equal" monitor costs $100 more, it's because it does not have a TN panel while the cheaper one does.

  3. There is a glut of 19" and above LCD's going into the holidays this year....there should be a few months after the holidays to get some amazing deals when the lower than expected retail figures spook all these electronics retailers.

    What's a TN panel? Is that the same as a TFT panel?

    Thanks,

    ALL LCD panels are "Active Matrix, TFT"... which stands for Thin Film Transistor. So when the panel type is described this way, they are giving you zero information.

    TN = Twisted Nematic... it's a type of LCD panel and somewhat describes how the pixels work. TNs are faster than the other kinds (cheaper, too), so good for gamers. However, they are worse at everything else... color, contrast, viewing angle.
