What is the viewing angle? Typically with LCDs, when you look from certain angles, the colors get significantly distorted. Is this the case here?

No, you can watch from a distance or the side and it shows no distortion of color or picture. Not sure of the actual viewing angle.

If you fins something please let me know. The contrast of the screen is terrible!!!

Not very good at viewing the screen at most angles. Only a very few angles provide good viewing. Viewing from sides/top/bottom are not very good.

This, and any 22" or larger LCD monitor, is going to give a softer image when using an analog input like VGA. It really can't be avoided when you get to these sizes and resolutions in LCD, unless you get a truly expensive monitor meant for graphic design artists. It will work, but it won't be as crisp or clear as if it were connected via HDMI or DVI. That's just what you deal with when you switch to large LCDs. However, for a VGA image, this looks pretty darn good. The review you read might have neglected to calibrate the monitor properly once connected via VGA. It's not washed-out at all... It's just not as crystal-crisp as a digital source.

if you want to list lcd to eye level , it won't happen. I just checked that. However, If you bend lcd to rear way, It will be looking at you from half feet away.

The picture from an angle is more than acceptable. My TV is setup on the short wall of a rectangular room, so it's not really an issue for me, but having just stood and watched for a while on the side of the tv, it's not that bad. The picture/colors don't degrade much until you reach an almost unwatchable angle, so it's almost a non-issue. Aside from the issues I've had with the networking rendering the TV useless, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this tv again.

Gosh, I really wouldn't know how to answer that. I have the original (ole') GF1, the GF5, the GX1, and the G5 - none of which have the issues that you mentioned. Additionally, I had not previously heard about that LCD issue and I tend to post and read on quite a few photography forums. All I can say is that I've not experienced this at all - and I have two GX-1's (one with the 14-45 OIS on it, and the other with the 45-200 OIS). Ben

I am inclined to think something is wrong. Mine has a nice picture. I did no adjustments on my monitor. I kept the factory setting because the picture was great.

I was extremely worried about this, but it really ended up being a non-issue. At a completely ridiculous distance from the TV (6 inches away -- think nose to the screen), you can make out the subpixel layout. At a distance of 3-5 feet, you can make out some additional jagginess on diagonal lines in some very specific circumstances (white text on a back background). At greater than five feet, the effect disappears entirely.

Actually online aficionado......The new Samsung LED's are WORSE. It is mentioned in cnets reviews and some have left comments here on amazon. One guy mentioned how he can see streaks running through his new LED tv in a dark room. So yeah... LCD's only look good when the lights are on.My friend has a panasonic plasma that he games on a lot. NO BURN IT. There is temporary image retention but that goes away fast.

I must have worded it wrong. Its the contrast. You have to hold it at the right angle to see the screen just right. Other than that minor thing I love it

That sounds strange to me. Mine does none of that as far as I can tell. Perhaps I'm not as perceptive as others. So I may be wrong. But when I play 3D movies or games and others are sharing the experience I've never had anyone complain, and they are all over the room at various angles. If mine were doing those things I would not be happy at all. I also own an LG passive 3D led television. It has none of those issues either. I hope that you can find some resolution. Good Luck.

I had no problems seeing the display from different angles. Also there is the option to configure the intensity of it.

I don't believe it is.... there are ways to adjust lcd contrast but that's it

Yes, this is an AH-IPS screen. As you view more than 90 degrees off axis in either plane, there is a perceptible drop in image brightness. The colors however remain true. The image is viewable to almost 180 degrees off axis, but would not then be suitable for the critical applications intended for this monitor. If you view this monitor anywhere near on-axis, you will see an exceptionally fine and accurate image.

That is the true contrast ratio. Other monitors that claim things like 8,000,000:1 are using adaptive dimming and other tricks to attain that. The proof is in the picture, and this monitor has excellent picture. A calibration solution with hardware puck is A MUST though!

The one I originally bought from east coast LCD didn't work correctly on my HOUSE so I asked them for an exchange as I knew that my display cable inside was not damaged (plugging in the old shattered one still displayed partial desktop and colors). East Coast lcd didn't even provide replacement, just refunded my money and I had to cough up additional shipping for the return.I then bought one from a different seller and it worked perfectly. Hope this helps as I'm just sharing my experience with them as I fell for the lower price as well. I then ended up buying one for around $49 & shipping The one I originally bought from east coast LCD didn't work correctly on my HOUSE so I asked them for an exchange as I knew that my display cable inside was not damaged (plugging in the old shattered one still displayed partial desktop and colors).
