ColorVision Spyder
Before running DisplayMate and our subjective analysis of the LCD, we ran ColorVision's Spyder and OptiCal software. Not only does this accurately calibrate the monitor on the DVI and analog interface, but it also gives us specific luminescence information not obtainable though 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 1024x768.
Just like our last ColorVision benchmark, we have a few expectations:
- Like our Samsung 213T, there is a slight cool tint to the image; however it is less severe.
- The brightness of our LCD is incredible; we will notice high marks when we test this.
The curve here was a little different than we expected. We anticipated a curve very similar to our Samsung 213T, but instead our PreCal software detected a closer balance than we originally thought. The brightness of 485nits is right about where we expected too.

LCD's look alright for 30"range but I am not a fan of LCD's for tv usage.Plasma's look MUCH better to my eyes for tv usage.
The screen only running 1024x768 is pretty useless imo. Wasting all of that native screen resolution. Someone at the design should be shot! But good to get more lcd's on the market to drive the price down.
Hey any reason why pc lcd's are not as bright or they don't have to be?
I know my 12" Sony laptop lcd is bright enough at max for me. Same with my 23" monitor is very bright at max.

Samsung Australia has a 0 dead pixel policy for their LCD's about 21" IIRC. I dont know about Samsung US.pcpimp - Monday, March 8, 2004 - link
I am saving my pennies for a LCOS or DLP tv. Never liked lcds and never owned one. They still cant solve the dead pixel problem, which I find unacceptable.Shalmanese - Monday, March 8, 2004 - link
cant you use powerstrip or something to force a 1280x1024 image?
