Could use a bit more info

So what type of panel does this come with? What color depth does it display? Was there any ghosting when watching videos or playing games?

Not exactly much of a review...

>So what type of panel does this come with?

Excuse me, but did you read the review, or are you just trolling. It's a TFT panel. For more precise technical description, no one knows but the company itself.

>What color depth does it display?

32bit, what else? Do you think we live in 1995?

>Was there any ghosting when watching videos or playing games?

I mentioned that video watching was fine, and that was specifically mentioned. I don't play games anymore, sorry.

I'm not trolling. I wanted to know if it was a TN panel like some of the other cheap 27-28in screens which would cause your viewing angle issues or whether it was a superior panel like PVA, IPS, etc.

In terms of color depth I actually ment bits, as in 6bit, 8bit, etc. Most of the nicer panels are 8bit, 16.7 million colors however the 6bit panels display far less and cause banding.

Those specs are important for me to look at a monitor. Granted, I could find them by digging through the manufacturers website or other reviews but its nice if thats actually in the review itself

Heh, if you review tech stuff don't get offended if people ask you perfectly relevant questions.

By reviewing stuff and putting it on a site like this you're in trouble if you can't identify basic questions someone might ask about the technology.

Those questions were perfectly valid!

As others have said; you shouldn't be so offended if someone asks for more information regarding something you review. If you can't give the answers then just say so instead of acting like someone just violated you and calling them trolls.. I wouldn't have known the answers to such questions either but I would have tried to find them out if I had made the review.

My sentiments exactly. This is not a review but a 'brief hands on with my subjective impressions'.
