Thank you jhirsche.
The Toshiba's CASV is really the best screen of all !!!

It is still in stock for example at www.plasmakings.com:

http://www.plasmakings.com/productde...productid=1902

To find other stores you can search the phrase like "5205-s705 price in-stock" at any search engine, for example at www.google.com

As for me, I'm going to buy the 5205-s705 in Moscow (as I'm Rusian). There are still about 50 stores in Moscow selling the 5205-s705, with the price starting from $1950 !!!

If the nature of a LCD can be told by using a gradient box, it wouldn't be so confusing. But as I found out sometime before, the gradient box is not able to discern between 18bit and 24bit LCD displays. FRC and dithering are very efficient at fooling the eye into seeing colors not produced by the display. My goal was to find out how to discern between true 24bit displays and 18bit displays with FRC/dithering. So far I have not succeeded. A bigger problem is the existence of true 24bit LCDs. So far I have not seen any proof of their existence.

I heard that even the best desktop LCDs have only 18 bit !!!

But different brands use different algorithms of "dithering" so the quality of the color rendering may vary from model to model. For example on some older notebook screens the gradient box looks a bit stepped. So the gradient box does not allow to discern between true 24bit and 18bit displays, however it allows to discern between good and bad 18bit displays.

I am sure that 24bit LCDs exist. Samsung Semiconductor's site lists a few LCDs, clearly discriminating between 18bit displays with 16.2m colors and 24bit displays with 16.7m colors. However, those are desktop and commercial LCDs. I do not know if true 24bit displays exist for notebooks. Even the best display I know of, the Fujitsu Crystal View screen, is 18bits.
