Samsung 193P: Exclusive Preview

ColorVision Spyder
Before running DisplayMate and our subjective analysis of the LCD, we ran ColorVision's Spyder and OptiCal software. Not only does this calibrate the monitor accurately on the DVI and analog interface, but it also gives us specific luminescence information not obtainable through subjective analysis. Special thanks to our friends at Color Vision for providing us with both a Color Vision Spyder and their OptiCal software.

Our test bed uses a Radeon 9800 XT video card. We use the factory-included DVI cable for this portion of the benchmark. Resolutions are on the native 1280x1024.
Our expectations of this LCD are virtually identical to the Samsung 213T. Just like our last ColorVision benchmark, we have a few expectations:
- There is a slight problem reproducing reds; when we put our 2001FP and the Samsung 193P next to each other, the Samsung has a bluish/green tint.
- The brightness level of our 193P and 2001FP are virtually identical.
To no surprise, the 193P produced a very similar chart to the SyncMaster 213T and the SyncMaster 192T. Luminance was exactly where we expected it to be.

Can we just take it as a given that geometry on LCDs are perfect? Its rather tedious wading through a list of 5's to find out what's WRONG with a particular monitor. Perhaps to make it simpler, if you awarded 5 to all the monitors in a category, you could condense it down to a single figure so we can skim the page more easily.KristopherKubicki - Thursday, April 15, 2004 - link
Its too expensive to compete with the 2001FP. Its been on sale for a while but samples for review just arrived - go figureKristopher

The usually great review... :)I would like to see also a comparison with the LG.Philips 19'' 25ms S-IPS panel.
A monitor like LG L1910B (last version) or Iiyama E481.
Buyers say it doesn't have deep black, but is very fast on video and games.

Would Anandtech recommend buying the Samsung 193P over the Dell 2001FP?
