Samsung’s two new ‘Touch of Color’ LCD monitors, the T260HD and T240HD, which began shipping last month promised the best of both worlds: hook up to your PC or Mac for work, enjoy the ATSC / ClearQAM tuner and dual HDMI ports for play. However users are reporting that the displays’ HDMI ports are not HDCP compatible, leading to problems playing Blu-ray content. [Updated with Samsung's response - the monitors are HDCP compatible - after the cut]
Both of these displays were made for Windows Vista and adding 19 or 22-inches of real estate to your desktop should look real nice. In fact, they are Windows Vista Premium certified, and they both are HDCP compliant as well.
The 22-inch model has a resolution of 1680×1050 and a contrast ratio of 3000:1, making this my favorite of the two. The 19-inch model has a res of 1440×900 with a contrast ration of 1000:1.
Dell 3008WFP is the first consumer LCD with a DisplayPort connector that hits the retail market. DisplayPort is a new interface set by VESA and license-free for manufacturers to use its specification. Some might think it’s a knock-off of HDMI without the licensing fees. DisplayPort supports a maximum of 10.8 Gbit/s data rate and WQXGA resolution (2560×1600 pixels). It also provides HDCP encryption to playback protected HD video format.
NEC added a new member to its Multisync 70 series displays. The LCD2470WVX is a 24-inch display for enterprise and high end users. It features dual analog and digital input technology.
