C|NET Looks at HP's Massive 23" Widescreen LCD
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 08:42 AM
"The rise of Media Center PCs and the surging popularity of LCDs has created a new niche for monitors: the desktop Jumbotron. Exhibit A: the HP f2304--a 23-inch, HDTV-ready behemoth of an LCD. But with big size comes big price: HP plans to sell the f2304 for $2,099 (after a $100 rebate). If you're going to throw down that kind of money for a monitor, you'll expect it to do more than your average desktop LCD."
Wow. 8O Now that's a monitor! I'm a little dubious of the 16 ms response time though - based on what I know of current LCD technology, doing 16 ms with 2.3 megapixels worth of data isn't possible right now. It's a huge achievement to do it with 1.9 megapixels (1600 x 1200), but perhaps they're using a next-gen part that can do it at 1920 x 1200.
