The difference is that professionals aren't dumb enough to have the wool pulled over their eyes by overstated specs like your Samsung panel has, so manufacturers publish more realistic numbers to that market.

Your statement should say: "I wish companies would stop producing crappy contrast ratio LCDs while marketing them as Professional grade, when really they have more like an 800:1 contrast ratio and look like crap compared to a decent plasma."]]>Feb 27th 2008 5:13PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/27/nec-shows-off-52-inch-multisync-lcd5220-for-digital-signage/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/27/nec-shows-off-52-inch-multisync-lcd5220-for-digital-signage/Feb 28th 2008 8:44AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/27/nec-shows-off-52-inch-multisync-lcd5220-for-digital-signage/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/27/nec-shows-off-52-inch-multisync-lcd5220-for-digital-signage/
A monitor specifically designed for digital signage typically would have either a VGA or DVI input, and would be designed to run 24/7 for years on end without problems. They usually don't have tuners, because there's no need.

Some common displays are from NEC (like this one), and Pioneer and Panasonic plasmas are commonly used as well (professional models).]]>Feb 28th 2008 10:32AM
