As far as today's available LCDs go, I would love to be able to afford this one: http://www.iiyama.com/product2/AU4831D.HTM - That .2415 pixel pitch would be so clean. This monitor: http://www.planar.com/monitors/CT1905S.asp - seems to use that same panel. Does anyone know who makes that 19" 1600x1200 panel? It seems that both Hitachi and Samsung produce 1600x1200 19" panels but those specs are different than the iiyama and planar units. http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/mobar [...] 235-e.html
-AND- http://www.samsungelectronics.com/ [...] m190u1.htm
That samsung looks the sweetest:
RESOLUTION UXGA
NUMBER OF PIXELS 1600 × 1200
ACTIVE AREA(mm²) 386.4 × 289.8
PIXEL PITCH(mm) 0.241
NUMBER OF COLORS 16.7M
MODE APVA
CONTRAST RATIO 450:1
BRIGHTNESS(cd/m²) 250
RESPONSE TIME(ms) < 25
VIEWING ANGLE(U/D/L/R) 85/85, 85/85
However, I can't find any finished units that seem to use that 19" 1600x1200 samsung panel. Maybe they are not available yet. Are there ANY 18" 1600x1200 desktop LCD units? I think IBM makes a 200 dpi LCD. I imagine that would be quite expensive.
