According to the link it says that the panel is a "a-si TFT/TN". So if it is a S-PVA, what does "a-si TFT/TN" mean?

One thing's for sure! This conversation has helped me make up my mind whether to get mine fixed or to replace it! LOL!! $75 looks very good right now!

I don't know what the issue is with your LCD, but the most common issues that the back lights burn out and they are user replaceable. You can surf the Internet to find a source to purchase one. LCD's by them selves produce colored pixels with very low lumens and require a back light to make them viewable. Check in the dark and see if you can detect the pixels forming an image use a flashlight if needed. If you see it them then it is probably a back light issue.

It means someone got their facts wrong or I don't know every designation for monitors, because it is an S-PVA panel.

This was a technical issue that's important to Intel users as well! We don't discriminate between AMD & Intel, when it comes to good and not so good LCD Monitors. Knowledge is Power! :)

How do U go about looking at a screen at this angle..look at it from any horizontal angle up to 178º
At what angle am I looking at if I'm right beside it

Well I put my eyeballs right beside my SOYO, and I can still distinguish a picture (no White). So what does that mean

Just in the process of putting together a build after my sempron died. Got a ASUS MB M2V-MX SE, AMD Athlon X2 5200 2.7GHz, 2 Mb P5300 DDR2 667 Ram and a new power supply. Having issues getting the on board sound drivers in, comes with RealTek HD audio ver 2.28 R 1.60. I must be doing something wrong as I can't seem to get the drivers to load. I also have to edit the boot.ini file to rid my start up with the windows default boot. Any help would be nice. Thanks in advance.

I remember reading about this. Certainly an interesting result, but let's see how far it gets on air or basic water... If they can break the 4Ghz barrier on both of those, AMD are in with a very strong chance.
