[Ti] [OT] Seeking a good 1280x1024 TFT display

[Barry Lyden]

Tarik,

There are a number of brands out there. I bought a Samsung 17" for my 
PC, which works fine with my TiBook as well, but it's average as far as 
TFTs go. But Samsung does make some higher-end models that are pretty 
good. When I bought mine, I actually preferred the Sharp 18.1" because 
it had both analog & digital connectors and better contrast ratio, but 
alas, it was too pricy. Prices have since dropped considerably.

Samsung makes a number of models, as does Sony, AG, Dell, HP, Sharp, 
Planar, etc.
This might sound like heresy in this forum, but you might try 
www.pcmag.com. They usually review the latest TFTs.

HTH,
B
