One reviewer said, "this model comes with two different displays - one is a brilliant, with much better definition". Which model is better?

Ha... what? I'm assuming if their is a similar model to this laptop with a "better definition" it going to have a higher resolution like 1920 x 1080 as compared to the model i own is set to a lower resolution.

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.

Can you explain your question again. This one has dual dvi so you can display maximum 2 screens. Is it what u are asking?

AmazonAddict is right, this monitor is a TFT display- I was looking at a different model with my earlier answer. We should all be glad for his tact and ever-so-helpful advice when he spots an error here. :-)

I don't see much difference, to be perfectly honest. I can say that the Phillips monitor has been an absolute glorious experience with a picture that is better than most televisions that I've seen. It works perfectly for large computer projects and for watching shows/movies even from a good ten feet away.

You really have to see both side by side at a dealer. I can't think of a better answer.My answer is the VT is better because it's more versatile. The VT has inky blacks, great off angle viewing (more practical in a wider room or a room with viewers at different angles), and great motion and "pop".However, if you need a "bright" TV, LED/LCD is the way to go -- this is better for a room that's inundated with light, many windows, lots of daytime viewing.The plasma motion vs. sony XBR motion is another -- have to see it. I prefer plasma.Technically speaking in terms of black levels, the Sony with its local dimming feature will produce better blacks than the VT30, this has been measured by 3rd party people on the 'net.

I cannot compare as I do not own both. But I do have the View Sonic and the LG, and both displays have excellent color accuracy when delivered and used on the DVI port using native resolution. The big rub is that the as delivered brightness is so high as to cause significant eye strain if used more than 1 1/2 hours. If you reduce the brightness, you will not get the advertised Dynamic Contrast Ratio. In addition the as delivered brightness causes a non acceptable light bleed around 1 or more edges. All of the above are to be expected on these LED backlit, IPS, WQHD displays, and getting one acceptable to you is a matter of luck and original engineering design tradeoffs. These displays are at least 2 or 3 times better than the old 1920 x 1080 displays. Good Luck.

As a mater of fact, I talked to the company today. You can find the comparison on the Sharp sight but there is more to it. First the Dynamic contrast is 15000:1 for the 92 and 10000:1 for the 64, making the 92 much better. The 92 came out Feb 07 while the 64 came out Aug 07. Sure the 64 is newer, but the 92 has the contrast. The 92 has another level of backlight (the ambilight function) kind of like a table light with a pull cord, full once more and get a brighter light. You get the picture. 92 has detachable speakers 64 does not. DVI-I conection (for a computer) on the 92 where the 64 has RGB. and lastly, all connections for the 92 are in back while 64 has some on the side. As I said, there is a comparison chart found on the Sharp site. I'll be buying the 92, sure it's about $700 more but it's worth it!

The replies here are correct, the HD only refers to the newer screen being LED and not CCFL. It is the best one in the 900 series but not best overall, if thats what you are meaning.

Based on specs and information it looks, to me, like the viewsonic is better.

The ln46a540 has a more reflective screen. It makes the colors and contrast look great (especially from side viewing angles). However the screen shows reflections from light sources more. I decided to get the 550 because our media room has lots of windows.

I happen to use both every day - the apple 27 inch at work, and the viewsonic at home.I prefer the viewsonic for the non-glossy finish, adjustable stand, and aesthetic. I'd buy it again in either case. The image quality is great on both monitors, so that wasn't a difference to consider here.
581081
I have no experience with the Apple display. Compared to every other display I have used, the Viewsonic is superior. Excellent image quality, colors and not a single dead pixel. I would not hesitate to buy it again. The clarity of the text on the Viewsonic relative to the more expensive Dell 3011 that I use at work is noticeable.

I use the Thunderbolt display at work and the ViewSonic at home. Picture-wise, you can't go wrong with either one. I do like that the Apple has all of the connections, including USB and Ethernet through the TB port. Connect the power and TB and you are fully-docked and ready to go. If it was my own money, I wouldn't pay $280 for that, but I'm enjoying the convenience of it at work.

They are both great sets and you will love either one. Most people would not notice any differences or care about any differences -- they both look better for most purposes than a comparably priced LCD (even a 1080p one). They handle motion effortlessly and have rich colors and blacks. I read on various sites that some find the Panny to have even deeper blacks and better glare-reduction (a related phenomenon, though one lost on me since my room streams light in from angles not straight-on) while Samsung may have a slightly sharper picture and more accurate colors (or at least more controls to get them accurate). I doubt I would see a difference, honestly. I do like the swivel stand on the Sammy, and its more modern look, but that is minor and maybe you are wall-mounting anyway. Some Panny models (but I am not sure if this one) had issues using it as a display for the computer (fewer ways to connect it) so double check if they improved that in this model. Otherwise, they are functionally the same, to anybody except the fine-tuners on the AVS forum board who say they can tell (and yet split as to their preference). I think, at least as to last year's models, that Consumer Reports placed the Samsung slightly above the Panny Viera, while the Cnet reviewer did the opposite. So my opinion is that both are great. I admit though that at home (as opposed to Big Box stores) I have only seen the sammys, and I know they are great. I just am not going to be that fanboy who then lies about whether I would own a Panny -- I absolutely would, and will if Samsung ever goes LCD-only.

Googling for an answer shows that they are two different labels used to market the same item. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/57617-3-difference-backlit-monitors

Yes, this model does show several different types of display options... It inverts displays (so you can easily read it from left or right hand), it has both line and filled waveforms or no waveforms (just PR and OX) if you want. It came with batteries and I have had this unit for about a year and never replaced the batteries yet... I honestly don't remember whether it had a case, but I have never used one if it did. I just stick it in my pocket or leave it by my bed...
