Anyone ver heard of

TFT Olorin FrontLine 19 inch?

The specs looks REALLY good...Well at least when a higher contrast and brightness is better(i thought it was)

Specs are

Angle: 170 / 170
Refresh: 25 ms
Contrast: 700:1 !!!!!!!
Brightness: 300 candela

I never have seen a screen with 700:1 contrast...What does this exactly means? Because the NEC and IIYAMA I was looking at were only 400:1

A lot of manufacturers fiddle their numbers. Because a monitor says it has 25ms pixel refresh rate or 700:1 brightness doesn't mean it's true. There was a good article on anandtech about how manufacturers take the best numbers from the tests they do rather than the most accurate.

well i did a lot of diggin before i went TFT, and I found samsung monitors we probably the best money could buy. I guess the fact that dell TFT's a rebranded samsungs is an indication.

I've got 2x 19" samsung 193T's and seriously, i think they beat anything else out there.
