The Samsung 245B is the first of what may be many 24" LCD monitors that uses a TN panel. Not sure if it is a 6-bit or 8-bit panel yet.

It can be purchased from Newegg.com for $500 after a rebate.

Sorry if this is basic, but what is a TN panel? I'm assuming that it is bad? Thanks.

Goto the following link to get some good info on panel tech.

Also read the section called Color Depth

All TN panels are 6-bit panels.

FYI: All 22" LCDs use 6-bit TN panels.

6-bit TN panels are preferred by gamers because of the response times (the low price helps too). But they have plenty of drawbacks as well. Too many for me to consider buying one.

That is disapointing, especially coming from Samsung
