Quick Question (Flame/Goshark)

[OLDSKOOL]

Hi quick question for flame and gosharks:

Flame u stated in a old post that the carbon(BLK) cl174 bezel cannot pass TCO 99 regulations. Which i believed also to b true but arccording to specs it has??

How can this be...??

According to Hitachi's website and Monitorgalaxy, the CML174B is TCO '95 compliant, the CML174 is TCO '99.

Hilbert space is a big place.

??? if they are the same panels, why black one didn't pass?

Good Question!!

LOL

I think it has something to do with that contrast and brightness appears slighly different with a black bezel....

I could be wrong.....
If n e 1 knows Goshark will though.

Black monitors cannot meet the new TCO-99 ergonomic requirements.

In TCO'99 there is a requirement that the reflection factor of the front frame (bezel) of the monitor shall not be more than 20%. This means that a dark colored or black monitor will not pass this requirement. The contrast of a white screen image next to a black bezel creates eyestrain during long periods of use.

In TCO'95 there is no such requirement, although it is a recommendation.

anyway, I am still happy with my Hitachi CML174, but I can't wait until 19 inch panels start appear, saving up some money to get one once they become available. Any idea when?
