Besides, since the majority of LCD monitor parameters are determined by the type of the matrix the monitor is based on, we will also introduce to you the major four types of contemporary matrices. They are: TN+Film, S-IPS, MVA and PVA."</i><br /><br />This is the most hardcore article on LCD technology I've ever read - <i>it's 27 pages long</i>. 8O But if you really want to learn more about LCD technology, give it a read.

WOW! An excellent guide to LCD monitors, including how to read through the marketing numbers. The author clearly explains all the performance measurements, then the LCD matrix types and the pros and cons (and best use) of each.

While it may not have been the intent of the author, I've decided NOT to get an LCD panel based on this article. Apparently, LCD panels tend to be better suited to one type of use or another, and I'm way too much of a generalist :D
