LG Intros 27" 3D IPS Panel With 2mm Bezel @ CES

Keep in mind that TV screens use a different color setup than computer monitors. So all your digital pics for instance will look a bit off. You know what NTSC stands for... "Never The Same Color" or "No True Skin Colors"...

The wording may be a bit harsh, but you are right in that it is about time to stop selling us 1080p for PC use as this is clearly not enough resolution unless you only read emails and update crapbook pages.

I work a lot in Photoshop and Premiere and even 1200 lines is not cutting it.
With 15megapixel cams now all over the place we have virtually no screen to actually show all these beautiful pixels !

[citation][nom]de5_roy[/nom]good one, lg. only if prices were for mere mortals...still i'd prefer a 22", 1080p, 85+ hz, led, ips panel over a 3d one anyday.TN sucks!!![/citation]

Did you not read the article? All the monitors in it are IPS and capable of 3D, which means IPS + 120Hz at least.

3D and 30-bit wide gamut 27" panel for $750 and it's on my shopping list 🙂

Perhaps for someone who wants to play games or surf the a LED TV will suffice, for those which color accuracy is very important a LED TV is completely out of the question. Even cheap TN panels that usually have a better color reproduction than most TVs are out of the question for certain jobs.

Keep in mind that not everyone uses they computer to work on Photoshop, Premiere, programming IDEs,... For people that only consume media, a 1080p screen is quite logical. Having a higher rez screen is irrelevant for those people because they won't take advantage of it. Of course since most people don't need a higher rez screen, this make screens like WQXGA more expensive.

Do these new monitors require wearing 3D glasses? The glasses give me a headache.

I read the article, and nowhere in it, or the link, actually specifies what 3D tech it employs. It does not mean it uses 120hz. There are other methods to achieve 3D, like the inferior TV version which requires 1920x1080 at 24hz, or 1280x720 at 60hz. Hell it may even use the checkerboard version found on many plasma screens. Until they actually says what tech it utilizes, I'm not excited.

For you haters...just so you know, Apple sources their displays from LG...

[citation][nom]eklipz330[/nom]3d monitors are capable of doing 120hz. im just sayingif this monitor has the oh so sweet 85% gamut, and is no more than $500? i will be STRONGLY considering being an early adopter. even if it just 1080p.tablets may be bumping up resolutions really fast, and although they are IPS panels, most don't realize that the color gamut are equivalent to some of the worst TN panels. and if there's one thing i want that apple has, it's those beautiful freaking displays![/citation]


120 Hz for one picture so 60 Hz for the whole 3d image

All I want from CES is a 2560 x 1600 monitor that is sub $600… Can't be too much to ask for can it

LG's current 3D IPS panel technology does NOT use 120Hz refresh rates. I highly doubt these new screens will, either. The current technology isn't glasses-free though, so what will come may be different.

Their current technology is called "FPR", or Film Pattern Retarder. There is some debate as to whether or not it is better, but the fact that the screen can't be used as a 120Hz screen for non-3D apps means it's of no interest to me, as a buyer.

LG makes some of the best screens available, but just like Samsung and the other (very few that actually manufacture the screens for monitors), they make plenty of, uh, low-priced screens too. Seems like pretty much every corporation on the planet now thinks in terms of getting business from every level of buyer, and doesn't care about producing only high quality products. Brand loyalty means nothing anymore, because the companies don't live up to an across-the-line standard you can count on. Buyer beware. You tend to get what you pay for (heavy emphasis on the "tend to").

I'm very skeptical that these screens will be anything great on release. However, the fact that LG is making 3D IPS screens is great news, in my opinion, I just don't like the move away from 120Hz, which is something I very much want. If their "SUPER" Resolution D43 actually has a better resolution screen (2650x1440, or who knows? - better?) and that isn't some kind of hype-talk about some kind of extrapolated "resolution" that doesn't actually make much if any difference in picture quality (like the "120Hz, "240Hz", etc TV LCDs), that will also be great news.

I still dont care about 3D. I want a good refresh rate for ease on my eyes and a 2ms response time.

 

[kyuuketsuki]

I'm hoping for 120Hz, but I get the feeling these will use some other kind of 3D tech for some reason. 120Hz (don't much care about 3D) IPS would be amazing.

 

[kyuuketsuki]

Oh and also, the article doesn't mention it but the glasses the model are holding in the pic definitely look like passive 3D glasses, not active.

 

[amstech]

120hz is nice but not nearly as nice as gaming at 2560 X 1600.
I have tried both.

Guy's, the technology behind the 120hz and the 240hz screens are completely separate from 3D capability. They do not have anything to do with each other. What 120hz/240hz provides is purely complementary to 3D. It makes the effect much better but they are not joined at the hip. Don't just assume that just because they say that the screen supports 3D that you have 120hz to go with it. You may be disapointed if you made a purchase based on that logic. One of the challenges with IPS panels is refresh rates. They are less responsive than typical TN panels. So if someone say's 3D IPS panel you better look on the back of the box for 120hz just to be on the safe side.

That just my public service announcement for today.

Couldn't care less about the 3d part of these. All I want are 3 IPS monitors with really small bezels, Hopefully they will be 16:10 and not 16:9
