Dear Santa,


     I want to get really rich so I can spend my spare time designing a new Amiga and buy AInc and put everybody to wash my car
     Of course have my own jet plane, a huge house at the beach and two nympho brunettes also would not be so bad... :-D  :-D  :-D

I'd like a 24" TFT, a HP all in one printer/scanner and a Pleo robotic Dinosaur.

Dear Santa,

For christmas i would like an Amiga1200D with
internal CD/DVD rewriter, 80GB hard disk, Blizzard PPC 603e, 256MB of RAM, BVISION and USB already built.

Oh and i would be so greatful if you could have OS4 already installed and ready for me to use.

BTW ive been a really good boy  :roll:

TN = Twisted Nematic, one of the predominant LCD panel types, also the most common in smaller LCD TVs due to the generally faster pixel response vs other panel technologies (less visible "smearing" etc.) and lower manufacturing cost.

Unfortunate downside is, while in theory 8 bit/pixel TN panels could be produced, the are generally (perhaps in all cases) 6 bit/pixel panels, so there's a significant color loss. Most use some form of dithering to achieve what they advertise as "16.2 million" colors (as opposed to the 16.7+ million of "real" 8 bit/pixel panels)... but the color loss and dithering artifacts are still pretty noticeable.

Now, you have to be pretty careful these days, as some manufacturers deviously advertise 16.7 million colors when that's simply not the case. I have an Aquos that is clearly a 6-bit panel (at all resolutions it supports), though the docs state otherwise. :/

I'll *try* to get a few videos up tomorrow, one showing an image on a PVA panel, and the dithering effects of the same image on a TN type.
 
It's really not a big deal in most cases ("TN garbage" may have been a little extreme), but for an AGA monitor it's definitely not ideal.

@motorollin

Thanks man! I may take you up on that, or at least the model info. I have my eye set on one that I'm pretty sure will do everything I need it to, IF it ever pops up on ebay, LOL.

@-D-

Well, perhaps for TV sets, but for monitors "TN garbage" is appropriate. TN should be avoided, especially for 24" or larger where the limited viewing angle can hurt direct front viewing already.

If you're getting a new 24" (or larger) TFT, avoid TN.

@Piru
That's not so easy to do, considering price of PVA/MVA and how rare they are in some places.
Also, many sellers and even manufacturers don't state the type of panel at all, some even don't know.
