Screen contrast / quality? Can someone who owns one tell me about the screen quality?

the brightness and contrast is a bit too high for me, but the video driver have so much setting you can play with it and be easily fix. The viewing angle is OK , not great, but pretty normal for most laptop. I think is somewhere close to 100-120 angle before to start notice the color/black wash out.

more importantly, how will the image quality be and will it be worth owning? reviews of the P80 were not kind. I'm hoping they have fixed this issue.

Hello Block, Thanks so much for the reply. i've heard the same things about the pixels not making too much of a difference after a while. the 890's wide screen and extra zoom are enticing! eek! still deciding but thanks for the response!

Hard to answer......the edges are glossy - the screen when off is matte finish. When turned on, the picture is clear and crisp. We love it and have no complaints.

I'm not sure of the "differences" between the two displays as I only have one. My highest screen resolution is 1366 X 768 which is what mine is set at. I don't do gaming, etc. so I don't need ultra-high resolution or bright screens. I wouldn't call my own display "brilliant" but it's adequate for just poking around the internet.

Lol I had to suffer the same thing. The matte one is really nice if you dont want a shiny screen with a million fingerprints but it kinda makes the screen blurry. I'd say get the HD with impact protection

Yes, I now agree with you. I was in Best Buy today and was comparing the Sony to the others and I must say the Sony was a standout. The Sharp was kinda of washed out and very pixeli (is that a word?) while the Sony was very bright and crisp in ever kind of action.The Glare was much less noticeable then the Sharp even, but to be sure the TV are in the back of the store and I had to make sure to get the Large overhead lights to reflect in the screen to compare the TV for glare.I have decided to go with the Sony.Thanks everyone for all your input to my question.

The "glare" (or reflection) is pretty minimal unless the room you're viewing it in is super-bright (as in tons of artificial lighting) or extremely sunny (as in a wall of windows with direct sunlight coming through it). Otherwise it's not a big deal. You can deal with it simply enough by adjusting the screen brightness in the display menu, or pull the curtains or shades closed. Considering the quality of the picture and the price it's no big deal to live with.

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

Never had an lcd, so can't answer your question w a "comparative" response. But I don't have any clue why ppl would complain abt a glare on this particular Samsung. It has an truly unbelievable picture... Easily one of the the best I've ever seen.

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though.

Its better than the screen itself, but not quite as good as the smudge proof version. The tradeoff is that with the HD version you get awesome screen clarity

There's a slight motion blur. I mean SLIGHT. And the blacks aren't that great, but after you get the right settings you can get it pretty close.I have it, I didnt take it back and I'm happy with it. For under $700 you'll be hard pressed to find a tv without a slight blur or some difficulty with fast movements, like in FPS games.I'd recommend spending more money if you want THE gaming TV. This one will do just fine though.

I have the 100" airbright 3d it works decent I have a great viewing angle. Every time someone comes over to watch the game or movies they all love it. I do have some sort of image imperfection on the screen. Its only noticable on a white screen projected. I did send back one screen because of it and it was the same type of imperfection on the new screen. The problem is you won't see it until the screen is fully put together. I said forget it the second time around it was not that major to have to restrech another screen..overall I would give this screen a 7.5 out of 10. Its the best you will find for the money.

I have had both the glossy and the matte screens. As long as you don't have light directed towards the glossy screen then I think that you should enjoy it. Many people are overstating the negatives of this monitor.

The screen is a matte finish, not nearly as glossy as a plasma or a high contrast LCD. Resolution is decent, but is definitely a matte finish, no gloss.

I had trouble getting it to look right. Extremely bad bleed through around the edges. Google "benq XL2420T settings". Good luck! I spent $100 less and got 3 acer IPS monitors and am loving it
