[visionlist] CRT monitor solutions

[Dr. William H.A. Beaudot]

Hi Sol & Peter,

Both Samsung 2233RZ and ViewSonic VX2265 are based on the NT ("Twisted Nematic") TFT-LCD display technology, which means unfortunately only 6 bits per color (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD). For a shorter and less technical review of the different LCD technologies, see http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php

Hope this helps!
