The first general public LCD LED monitors
LCD monitors continue to evolve. Standard backlighting is condemned for the short term and will be replaced by LED matrixes. The improvements expected by this transition are richer colors and better panel homogeneity.
The XL20 is remarkable for two reasons:
- this is the first LED monitor for the general public or at least is more or less affordable. We remind you that we already tested the
Nec LCD2180WG LED, but its downside is that it is priced at €5000…
- Samsung had the bright idea to try and combine the best components currently on the market. Even if it sounds really surprising, a Samsung panel wasn’t picked but rather an AU-Optronics A-MVA.
You may have noticed the modification of the prefix in front of the MVA denomination. It has changed from P-MVA (this panel is in the Belinea 10 20 35W, for example) to A-MVA. What difference does it make? Because of the lack of technical documentation we only have a few limited observations. There are some variations in terms of afterglow, a little more for homogeneity and even more for viewing angles.
