Just as there are "super noses" who can detect the slightest variation in a million wines, or people who can tell you exactly which frequency they're hearing, there will be people who can see blur in most LCDs.
Personally I haven't seen LCD blur since around 12-15ms response times became the norm. I see MPEG artifacting and trailing, and even dim afterimages in HDMI signals on PS3 and 360, but motion is not an issue. #motionblur
Those look really hard to read. It's not like they're gonna show up on televised broadcasts.
Why not just make golf bags with a bright green tv-friendly panel that the networks could then put advertisements on, like the baseball field or hockey panels.
You know what would make these things a lot easier to lug around?... wheels. Maybe even you could put some kind of electric motor on board.. ah... but then it would tippy...how's about four wheels! Yeah, that's it. An electric, four-wheeled cart type thing just for golfers.
I picked up 3 2209WA's last month (22" IPS panels) - for 200 a piece, and I'm glad I did. The 2209WA's have been hard to get for a while - and I guess Dell figured it out finally that people want IPS panels - hence the big jump in price for these 24's.
@CrownSeven: The higher price is due to their using S-IPS instead of E-IPS, which is the gimped version in the 2209. Still better than a TN and some PVA/MVA panels though.
I got the 2409 about a week ago (refurb, $200) and couldn't be happier. Coming from an old 4:3 19" display, it's like a whole different computing experience. Dollar for dollar, I'd say it's the best upgrade you can make.
@devianaut: *cough* Just because a technology is older doesn't mean it's inferior. Plasmas still boast exceptional motion performance and deep, inky blacks. Their issues with burn-in are virtually non-existent anymore, and they are usually much cheaper, especially compared to LED-backlit LCDs. The only drawback is power consumption, which some people are willing to tolerate. *cough*
since this is a post about spam, I'm sure even one particularly vocal member of the Gizmodo community will not mind me adding a little link to this post - it is about Japanese Gummy candy, and lots of it [all those little displays lined up in boxes reminded me of the tons of candy available in Japan - very tasty].
As a response to one of my comments [where I included a link to one of my own posts], it was respectfully suggested by the aforementioned member that I not flog my blog in this forum. May I suggest that this impression might have been formed due to the fact that Gizmodo does not show full links in comments, but abbreviated versions only, which makes the links seem less pertinent, if at all [pertinent], at first glance.
Rest assured, flogging my blog is not something I particularly enjoy. I'm simply sharing what I know of good design, photography and snippets of interesting goings-on in the world around us. As always, if you feel my adding a link is inappropriate, please do not feel compelled to click on it. As for the others, enjoy!
mostly people get miffed if you use a URL as a signature on your comments. as long as it's an on-topic link no one's going to bust your balls for it. on the other hand, on topic or not, if you flog it all the time you can be banned.
@thinkmore: As someone who flogs his site whenever possible, I must agree this was a complete non-sequitor. As for full links, YOUR URLs only contain numbers, which is how you title your blog entries, no no amount of full URL posting would matter, despite what you say.
@Turbostraw: Most of the lawyers involved such cases are not US citizens typically. They're either Japanese, Chinese, or Taiwanese so that one can speak the native language of the people who built the fucking thing.
If you're Japanese, do you want a white lawyer representing you, or do you want a Japanese lawyer representing you that speaks English, and Japanese, and understands cultural nuanced use of language natively so that he can request clarification of terms as they are translated into English for the court proceedings?

I know you have done this before, and I myself have called you out on it: Thinkmore posts a link to his blog about Sony products in a post about LG TV's
This appears to be your 2nd strike, and I would caution against a 3rd, as you could very well get banned.

I mean, how else will they finish paying their Cayennes otherwise?
