Samsung 710T

Yesterday, went to sitex2004 @expo to buy a 17″ Samsung 710T LCD. Cost me sg599, 50 dollars cheaper than the market.

The specs:
Response Time 12 ms
Contrast Ratio 600:1
Brightness 300 cd/m2
support DVI

Mostly, the 2 things ppl will concern more on buying the lcd are the response time and the contrast ratio. The response time should lower than 16ms, else there might be “ghosting” effect. The contrast ratio is the ratio of the brightest white and the darkest black. The higher the better.

I thought my pc got dvi port, but then i realise my graphic card one is only video out round port. Dvi can further use for game console or etc electrical display, it produces vivid digital display than normal analog signal, so it’s still not so bad. But ppl don want dvi, should go for 710N model, around $529.

There is a 7 days exchange policy if there is any dead pixel and bright dot. The warranty is 3 yrs for 0 bright dot and 5 dead pixel. Since the great improvement on the lcd technology, they lower down the dead pixel warranty from 7 to 5.

cool….
