Default Display Technology: Fact and Fiction

http://www.maximumpc.com/article/fe...myths_shattered

"Not only are displays getting more complicated and harder to understand, but the competition between manufacturers has gotten so brutal that marketing gimmicks—ploys that exploit the average consumer’s technical ignorance—are playing an increasing role in driving sales. The goal of this article is to point out and explain some of the most important myths, misconceptions, and misunderstandings about display technology."

I thought I knew a good deal of what to look for in a display.  Resolution, contrast ratio, response time, all words that I know well.  Apparently, that which I have depended on for my purchase of displays is a lie.  Sure, they still have some value, but Maximum PC has written an article explaining that there is a whole world of other things to look out for; aspects that manufacturers tend to bury.  The article does get a bit technical, but it is simple enough to understand for most people.  All I can think of now is that there is even more to worry about.  At some point, I may just give up and buy what is "good enough" and forget about the exacting details that I used to fuss over.
