Hi,

I'm wanting to purchase a LCD Monitor, however i want to make sure the monitor i purchase uses a Hydis panel. SInce i live in canada it's very difficult to find a decent monitor that uses the Hydis (so far i've been able to find zero, seems only a select few manufacturers are being sold, not a huge variety). So I was wondering if someone or everyone could start a list of all the monitors that use a Hydis panel for sure.

I would greatly appreciate it as i'm should a lot of others will too.

Thanks!
 
Hitachi CML175SXW2B (says HyDis on datasheet)
Sharp LL-T17D4 (maybe)

I haven't seen reviews for either.
 
I've got a AL1731M, which is allegdly HyDis panel. Colours seem fine and the screen is bright, PSU is separate, looks great (just like http://tinyurl.com/ysqnk ) nice solid aluminum base - pivot but no height adjustment.

Performance wise UT2003 seemed okay but it's been a while since I played it, map texture edges seemed a wee bit odd when you look around quickly.

Another thing I noticed is when scrolling up and down text seems to thicken and blur slightly. This is using W2K, does XP + ClearType resolve this or is it a standard TFT thing?
When I drag the mouse around the place I see some very faint ghosting.

Cheapest place I've found for the monitor in the UK is amazon.co.uk . The one review for it there is very poor, but this person was expecting an LCD-TV and I would disagree with every single point there, when using it as a computer monitor.

There is one dead pixel near the left middle edge of the screen, which I don't find particularly noticable, though obv not the ideal senario. Finally it may be a bit more expensive than average but it does come with every cable under the sun in the box, DVI,DSUB,S Video,Composite Vid.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by p4nts on 03/01/04 09:55 AM.</EM></FONT></P>
 
The 2D blurring is what gets me the most . . . I returned a "25 ms" dell monitor because of the smearing when scrolling or dragging windows or when playing a 2D game. It happened on text but it was the worse on darkish 2d images. The black would bleed into everything and darken the whole image when you scrolled.
