Samsung Releases Two High Contrast SyncMaster Displays
Samsung introduced two high contrast LCD monitors - the SyncMaster 70 Series F2370H and SyncMaster 80 Series F2380MX. The latter targets the casual user, while the former targets professionals. Both are 23-inch displays with native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD). The selling point here is a dynamic contrast ratio of 150,000:1 and static ratio of 3,000:1. Both use HDMI for input apart from the usual DVI. Both displays further feature a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees. The F2370H and F2380MX are expected to be priced at around 640€ and 675€, respectively, when the release later this month in Korea.

Also with that kind of contrast ratio it may just be the long awaited combo of IPS or PVA pannel with LED lighting.
Edit:
Confirmed on both accounts. That there's what I've been dreaming for a year now but friggin hell that's expensive...:cry:
Edit:
With the exception of two news sites I see the panels listed for $352 and $370, respectively!
In that price range they're going to be best sellers if true, this sounds like a bargain for IPS+LED.. I just hope they don't have any deal breaking quirks like a big input lag.
I mean, there are a lot of monitors out there with 23" at around 150€, with superb quality, what do I need a more than 4 time expensive monitor?!

And when comparing the cPVA Samsung F2380 to the eIPS Dell 2209WA I don't have much hope for cPVA panels for 'professionals' on a budget. See www.erodov.com/forums/cpva-coming/22582.html
Granted, the prices are MUCH higher on these than the F2380 but I'm still not certain they can make the cPVA panel look THAT much better. Though I may be wrong.
Oh btw, Voodoo 2 games dont take advantage of either screens features :roll: (waht ive been playing lately)
