Alright, It sounds like you found the one you're looking for. The only thing I suggest is NOT buying it at newegg. Their return policy for dead-pixels or other monitor defects are atrocious.

quote:

Newegg Return Policy The following conditions are not acceptable for return, and will result in the merchandise being returned to you: Any LCD screen that has less than 8 dead pixels

In my opinion, 1 dead pixel is unacceptable let alone 7.

ive been reading the reviews of the LG one and supposedly the text gets quite fuzzy.. i will do some coding on it and it is unacceptable.


Im about to give up and just buy a pc monitor

Yeah the difference between TV's & Monitors comes down to Pixel pitch. TV's are meant to be viewed from a distance, so each individual pixel is larger. The issue with that is up-close viewing.

Monitors are meant to be viewed from a relatively close distance, so each individual pixel on monitor is quite a bit smaller.

That's why you can find LCD monitors with the capability to do 1920x1080 resolution in a size that you won't find TV's capable of (Well, now you can find smaller TV's capable of 1080p, but at first that resolution was only available to much larger sizes).

The only problem I have gaming on my TV is when games have tiny font.

im leaning more towards the Samsumg one, ive read it is a fine monitor..

I think im buying that one

mine's older and smaller. I used it as a tv/monitor for a few months, too, and it worked great. I still say go look at them in a store.

I live in the dominican republic, and actually, the selection for TVs and Monitors here is awful.. most stores carry 10-15 shitty models and EXPENSIVE as hell. a 32' vizio would cost around 1200 here

the only reason people buy vizios here is that they're cheap. that defeats the entire purpose.

lol, but those are 'cheap', mid-end sonys and samsung costs around 2k here

I plan on moving down to St. Thomas in November, and saw some prices on TV's down there, very disgusting...now im trying to figure out how to get a TV down there.

Originally posted by cmay119 If you can stretch your budget to $500. I'd suggest this model: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Panason...8&skuId=9740811 1080p, IPS (In-Plane Switching) Panel (178 Degree viewing angles & very accurate color reproduction). Just bought one of these myself recently. Go have a look at this TV in store, then look at it from the right and the left. The picture should stay as clear as if you're looking at it from straight on. Compare with some other TV's on display and if you see their colors starting to wash out, you'll know that they don't have IPS panels in those TVs. There's a similar 720p model for $400. The only gripe I have about this TV is that the audio is somewhat lack-luster (It's not bad, it's just not great), so if you're looking for a TV that has good sound reproduction on it's own, then you may want to look elsewhere.

where does it say about the IPS panel??? Where do you get this info? I'm always looking for the better panels out there, but it's almost impossible to know which screen has which panel.

Usually you can tell when the manufacturer gives the viewing angles. Anything that says 178 Degree viewing angle left/right has to be an IPS panel (unless they want to get caught for false advertising). Neither a TN nor a VA panel will be able to match those angles.

Most manufacturers won't reveal the panel used in their tech specs, so it's up to the consumer to do the added research on the model before deciding on the purchase. However, on this particular TV, Panasonic touts the IPS panel on their tech specs for it:
