daarrid - Wednesday, August 13, 2008 - linkFirst, I'd like to thank Jarred Walton for his excellent review. A great deal of work goes into such a review. So, first and foremost, thank you sir! I'm also impressed by your timely follow-ups to the comments that have been posted.
I just purchased the Samsung 245T (August, 2008). The firmware evidently has changed because there are new scaling options.
I'm only using two inputs - the VGA for various computers connected to it via a KVM and a Sony Playstation via the HDMI.
The VGA input now shows three options for size: wide, 16:9 (this is new), and 4:3. Wide is the only useful option (it appears to be 1:1 pixel mapping). The other two options distort the display. Why 16:9 was added as a choice is hard to say because it adds no useful function I can think of.
However on the HDMI input (and perhaps the DVI - I didn't test the DVI input) we have the old choices - Wide, 16:9, 4:3 and a new one! The new one is called "Just Scan" which seems to be 1:1 pixel mapping. Samsung evidently is listening. Reply
bobo51 - Thursday, June 26, 2008 - linkI find it interesting that 4 months after Jarred was reassured by his contact at Samsung that this panel was a PVA, it is still speced as a TN panel on the Samsung website. And the mail order websites that report this characteristic seem to just parrot what is on the Samsung website.
It would seem that it being a PVA unit would be a marketing point that Samsung would want to be front-and-center in their specs and advertising. So why isn't it out there?
Does anyone have any written documentation or labeling on the back of a unit (or anything other than someone's statement) that this is a PVA panel? Reply
maxdog - Friday, August 22, 2008 - linkAll of the 24" panels on the Samsung website state the same type. I'd like to know for sure. Reply
TrinityJayOne - Saturday, June 07, 2008 - linkJust thought I'd point out that there's an error in this review regarding display modes. It's true that there's no 1:1 pixel-mapping, but there IS a 16:9 option, it just isn't available when using a DVI source (I'm guessing because Samsung figure DVI = PC only and video cards support 16:10 resolutions). For HDMI, component, S-video etc, the 16:9 option will keep your 1080p signal un-squished and 720p will be upscaled. Check it out for yourself in the user guide, about 2/3 of the way down the page- http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/EM/20070...">http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/conte.../200707/... Reply
XrayDoc - Wednesday, April 02, 2008 - linkThe new Dell 2408WFP has been available for perhaps a month. When are we going to see a killer review on AnandTech? Reply
machspeed5 - Saturday, February 16, 2008 - linkConflicting Information!!!
Page 4 of this trustedreview of the 245T states "genuine 1:1 pixel mapping"
".....A tonne of connectivity only adds to the appeal, as does the genuine 1:1 pixel mapping from 1080p sources."
This Anadtech review clearly states the opposite!
Who is correct here? Clarification appreciated, as you've thrown a monkey wrench in my purchasing decision! :P
Thanks Reply

According to the User's Manual:
- if the video source is connected through PC/ DVI, you will be able to switch the size between "Wide" and "4:3";
- if the video source is connected through Composite/ S-Video, you will be able to set the size to "Wide", "16:9", "Zoom1", "Zoom2" or "4:3";
- if the video source is connected trough Component/ HDMI, you will then be able to choose the size between "Wide", "16:9" or "4:3".
Supposedly, by "Wide", they mean "Full screen" (1920x1200).
I don't really know what they mean by "Zoom1" and "Zoom2", but I guess this is some scale of "expansion" (by keeping the aspect ratio). But I insist, this is just me guessing; I do not own the screen.
As matter of fact, this leads also to the conclusion that there is no pure "1:1 pixel mapping" for all resolutions, even if you can get such pixel map for a HD 1080 lines source if you choose the "16:9" size.
can you confirm please, & perhaps update the review? many thanks. Reply
JarredWalton - Saturday, February 16, 2008 - linkI checked the VGA and DVI connections... I didn't consider that they would add options on other inputs (most OSD controls gray out disabled options rather than removing them completely). I'm trying to come up with some meaningful "input lag" testing -- internal image processing lag would be more appropriate as a description -- so I'll see about testing the Component/HDMI/S-Video as well.
Not surprisingly, I've got other things to review as well, so it might be a couple weeks before I get around to testing this. Reply
machspeed5 - Sunday, February 17, 2008 - linkthanks.
looking forward to seeing the input lag & HDMI pixel mapping options on the 245T. :)
word on the street is that the input lag is pretty bad, ~50ms, (2.5 frame lag.)
from my readings, 50ms (while on the upper end of laggy displays) may still be usable for all but the most time-sensitive games. (fps specifically) a lot of people complain and overrate the input lag problems on forums, though it's evident few understand what it is. (even confuse it with response time)
i'd appreciate hearing your opinion on the matter. I plan to use a PS3 with the 245T, and FPS will certainly be in the machine from time to time.
Genuine 1:1 pixel mapping is also important to me, and if you could clarify the issue here i'd be much appreciated.
cheers Reply
Thetruepit - Monday, February 11, 2008 - linkIt does suffer from inverse ghosting.
Most noticeable in gaming mode so I don't use that.
Surprised it wasn't picked up. Also if you move your mouse cursor over a grey background you see noticeable ghosting. Reply
alainiala - Friday, February 08, 2008 - linkI do A LOT of monitor testing at my work because I'm one of a handful of people responsible for setting our enterprise hardware standards. I try to steer our company away from TN-based panels, but sometimes its unavoidable (all but one 22" panel that I'm aware of are TN). I find S-PVA to be acceptable, but the true beauties are the S-IPS monitors. NEC makes some of the best S-IPS monitors around, but they are very pricey. My favorite monitors is undoubtably the NEC 2490WUXi, but you have to be prepared to sell an organ to get one. Not worth it for the average user, but anybody with color-critical apps should take a long hard look at it. I do wish more manufacturers would stick with S-PVA and S-IPS... But alas, the pricepoints demand we all get stuck with TN garbage. Reply
Pjotr - Friday, February 08, 2008 - linkTVA -> PVA Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, February 08, 2008 - linkFixed, thanks - after writing an article for so many hours, some things start to blur past your eyes. :) Reply
uethello - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkThe panel being listed as TN is ominous to me. I've been studying monitors hard for about a month (since I found out how much of my money Uncle Sam is giving me). Seems like some manufacturers build monitors with both types of panels. Going for the "Hope" buy, I guess. The person who hears about someone getting a good panel and buying in the hopes of not getting a TN. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, February 08, 2008 - linkI talked to my contact at Samsung and got this response on the panel:
"As to your question, the 245T does have an S-PVA panel, which is a far superior technology than TN, not that I need to tell you that. The 245BW uses a TN panel. The proper authorities have been notified and they're working on fixing [the PDF] immediately. I appreciate you letting me know."
So no worries - the 245T is an S-PVA panel as reported and as the images show. Reply
Dainas - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - link...all manufacturers are seemingly phasing out all mva/pva panels below $650, replacing them with TN at the same pricepoint and no one cares. It surprises me that the reviewers despite not being a big fan of $500+ TN panels, have not noted this plain as day trend. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkUmmm... did you read my HP w2408 review? I pretty much slammed on that trend and said that IMO the TN panels still suck by comparison. I also praised this LCD for not being a TN panel. How is that "not noting the trend"? Reply
Dainas - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkok, you noted that much :P Except for what amount to closeout deals, we are starved for choice compaired to 6 months ago. Its not just a matter of waiting for things to get back up to swing after the chinese new year. Besides the expensive stalwarts such as this and the dells line, TN is just eating up everything else was :(
I would expect nothing short of a full blown rant about this, hehe. Reply
strikeback03 - Friday, February 08, 2008 - linkAside from closeout deals and Black Friday specials and the like, have there ever been 24" LCDs that didn't use TN panels available "cheaply"? Seems that when the 24" LCDs were initially all good panels and all expensive, then as more came out the prices dropped some, then someone started making 24" TN panels and those monitors formed a whole separate price bracket. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, February 08, 2008 - linkI believe there are some S-PVA 24" panels for around $400-$450. Are they good LCDs, or are they the reject S-PVA panels that couldn't be put in $600 LCDs? I don't know - I'd like to get one to test, but unfortunately the budget LCD companies aren't interested in sending us review samples. Anecdotally, I've heard that while they are usually better than TN panels, they've got other issues - firmware, low build quality, etc. Reply
Deusfaux - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkI thought Samsung monitors had a 16:9 scaling mode? Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkThis one doesn't... other Samsung displays might. See the OSD image gallery for details. The only options are "Wide" (fill the whole screen) and "4:3". That means that 5:4 resolutions (1280x1024) will also be distorted no matter what you do. I don't think the minor stretch of 16:9 to 16:10 is terrible, but some people care more about that than I do. Again, though, this is only an issue on non-PC use (or if your drivers don't allow you to correct the scaling). Reply
hotdogandchips - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkJarred, can you tell us when the NDA regarding the 2408WFP expires by any chance? ;0 Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkLOL... actually, no, I can't. Funny thing is that the date isn't set in stone just yet either, which is part of the reason I can't say. It's supposed to be this month, based on what I heard at CES, but it might get moved to early March? Reply
AcAuroRa - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkAccording to
... its a TN.... bah I'm confused -_-.. is it a TN or a PVA?
I actually own a w2408... and I actually like the thing -_-;;...but if there can be some facts straightened out I might go and get a 245T off the 'Egg as it is currently on sale for $650... Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkSee above post... the unit I reviewed is most assuredly an S-PVA panel. I believe the PDF is simply erroneous. Reply
bobo51 - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkI am confused.
The article identifies the 245T as having a PVA panel. But I just went to the Samsung website and in their specification PDF for the 245T the panel is stated to be a TN.
Is their website document incorrect? Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkI can absolutely state that the 245T LCD I have is S-PVA (based on how it looks from various angles), and Samsung told me it was S-PVA before I received it. http://www.samsung.com/us/system/consumer/product/...">This states otherwise, so I guess someone just put the wrong information in there. The other possibility is that there are different LCD panels in some of the 245T displays... hopefully not.
Most companies do not make a point of stating what sort of technology their panels use. While I can understand that on TN panels, I'd think anyone using a PVA or IPS panel would want to crow about it. Kudos to Samsung for at least putting information on all of their displays in the PDF files; now they just need to make sure the data is correct. :)
I'm going to email my Samsung contact about this and see if there's just an error in the PDF that they can correct. Reply
XrayDoc - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkI was all excited about this new display until I read about the limited scaling choices. I can't believe they didn't include a 1:1 or pixel to pixel option! Not everyone has a triple SLI video card setup that can run Crysis well at 1920 x 1200. I'd much prefer to run the game at a lower resolution with black borders and have the "pixels" look sharp, as opposed to stretching the non native resolution to fill the screen and look blurry! Plus automatically stretching 16:9 aspect sources vertically to fill the 16:10 screen is just plain ludicrous. Most people can notice when the aspect ratio is displayed incorrectly. What happens with a 2.35:1 ratio DVD? Does that also get stretched vertically so that you dont' see any black bars at the top or bottom? This single design flaw is a definite deal breaker for me. I hope the upcoming new models from Dell, etc. don't have this same design flaw. Reply
yyrkoon - Friday, February 08, 2008 - linkThe big question would be; 'why do you need a 24" LCD to play Crysis?' For me personally I cannot see the need for anything much more than a 19" LCD(a good one at that) for gaming. This making current title fly on my C2D system with a 7600GT, and it draws way less power than one of the current higher end cards. Granted I probably wouldnt mind using a 8600 or something that draws slightly more power, and has DirectX 10 capabilities, but I wont go out of my way just yet to purchase another card, especially since I am still using XP Pro.
Also I'm noticing complaints about input lag ? I would think this would be an image retouching LCD which doesnt require fast screen refreshes. You can buy cheap fast LCDs that will play games just fine(all day long). Reply
nubie - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkIn most proper drivers you can select a mode that has 1:1. In the nVidia classic panel (I only use the classic panel, google sedonadisable if you can't find yours.)
Use DVI or HDMI, and go to device adjustments, there is a setting called "centered output", use this to send black pixels to fill the digital signal until the pixel ratio is 1:1.
I ran into a problem that wouldn't allow me to run custom resolutions, this is the fix:
I agree that scaling technology needs serious work, 16:10 is not 16:9, and 1388x768 is not 720p. Add to that the fact that even if you can get the native res of some panels to be sent by the PC, the display still stretches and overscans it, that is bad.
Doesn't the Xbox360 have support for native panel resolutions such as 1280x1024 as part of the VGA output? Doesn't this extend to the HDMI output? I would really like to know what support there is for native panel resolutions on consoles.
Every PS3 and Xbox360 I have ever seen has had mediocre picture quality, and I sincerely hope that it is a problem on the display side (in-store displays only). Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkI don't think consoles support PC resolutions. They are usually HDTV/TV resolutions, so you get 640x480 on the old stuff, and 720p or 1080i (or maybe 1080p?) on new stuff. Of course, some titles use a lower resolution like 1024x576 or something and stretch that to 720p/1080p for performance reasons.
The 245T will accept other resolutions; the problem is that your only options are "fill the whole screen (and aspect ratio be damned)" or "fill a 4:3 area (again, forget about the actual AR)". With PC connections, you're fine if you use the driver to adjust the stretch options.
Unless I'm severely mistaken, you don't get that functionality with consoles. Or DVD/Blu-ray/HD-DVD players. Reply
nubie - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkWRONG!!! Information available as of 2005:
I was simply curious as to whether recent updates to the Xbox360 firmware had made it MORE compatible. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkInteresting - didn't know consoles supported other output resolutions... though it seems like it would be game dependent, right? (I'm pretty much a PC-only gamer, so I haven't owned a console since the N64.)
If you can output 1360x768, you should be able to get a 16:10 AR that will fit with this display properly. That's what I would go for, anyway. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkPlaying DVDs, you can usually control this with your player software, and in fact you can control this with NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards (though I'd give the edge to NVIDIA here) under Windows. The problem is what happens when you hook up something like a game console, or some other device that doesn't do internal scaling. Then you're stuck with what the LCD firmware provides, and in this case it falls short.
I'd think Samsung could release updated firmware to address this issue. Will they, and if so can you apply it to the initial models? Probably not, but they may prove me wrong. Reply

GNStudios - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkI read the review and got very intrested in the monitor (I have a Samsung 215TW now). When browsing some the internet I found many people complaining that it's very noisy.
Is this true? Reply
mattsaccount - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkMy parents bought one of these over Christmas. The monitor they received definitely emits a certain amount of noise, but none of us found it that distracting. You can barely hear it in normal use, and it's not an irritating high pitch ring or anything. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkI haven't noticed any noise from this particular unit, but that's pretty variable. Usually the noise comes from capacitors inside the chassis, so as best as I can tell it's luck of the draw. Reply

jimmy43 - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkWell I'm glad you guys talk about the different panel technologies to educate people, there is more than just the size and refresh time to a monitor. However, I'm wondering what is with the input lag taboo at these large sites? It's not too hard to measure, and it would complete your article so we dont have to go to independant reviewers to get a good idea of how laggy a monitor really is. Reply
nevbie - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkAgreed, and also, here is a reference to such a review that tests input lag (as an example): http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/content/hazro_...">http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/content/hazro_...
Note that in many cases here the input lag exceeds the response time, that so many reviewers pay attention to.
Monitor reviews are very interesting, but so subjective..
Xbitlabs (www.xbitlabs.com) monitor reviews seem to have most of the measurements that I have seen in reviews, with the exemption of input lag.
PS. If you review HP LP2065 (I hear S-IPS or MVA), I'll give you a virtual hug. =P Reply
tayhimself - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkCan the input lag be removed by disabling scaling etc? What causes input lag, and how is it measured? Thanks! Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkThere are a few things to consider. First, how do you measure input lag? If you use two outputs on one GPU, they don't necessarily get identical content - you can get +/-1 frame difference due to refresh rates, internal buffering, etc. Using a splitter for a signal can do the same thing. So you have a margin of error of at least one frame. I've tested with varying techniques in the past and decided input lag wasn't a real issue... or at least not an issue you can easily fix just by changing LCDs. CRTs may be better in this area, but I'm even less willing to go back to using a cumbersome CRT.
The real issues with image lag are more complex. You have things like double (or even triple) buffering that add one or two frames of lag. Then technologies like SLI and CrossFire add at least one frame of lag when doing AFR (the most common mode), and triple and quad solutions using AFR could add up to three frames of lag internally... and no one seems to worry about that. (I asked NVIDIA and ATI about this in the past, and their response was something along the lines of "you don't actually think anyone can notice the 0.02s delay, do you!?")
I tend to agree, at least for *most* people. Despite what many would like to think, our eyes really don't react quickly enough to notice differences of a couple hundredths of a second. If I ever encounter an LCD where I notice a problem with input lag, I'll make a note of it, but I haven't yet - even with the much-maligned 2407WFP.
I suppose professional gamers might have more issue with input lag, but then there are multiple sources of lag they need to try to reduce. There are lots of things that most people just live with and don't notice - image tearing because VSYNC is off, lag because you can't afford a $2000 CPU+GPU setup, lag at your input device (mouse/keyboard), running on a 19" LCD instead of 30".... Internal image lag in an LCD is one of these things in my book. Reply
lyeoh - Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - linkPlease do more useful reviews of monitors.
Input lag is an issue with nonCRT monitors. In fact significant input lag is a _showstopper_ for many people (even if they didn't know of such a thing till they experienced it :) ).
I personally don't care about lags of 10-15ms but some LCD panels have been _tested_ and _documented_ by many to have lags of >50ms, and that is VERY SIGNIFICANT.
Go search youtube for input lag if you don't believe there are monitors with significant lag.
I have walked into a shop which was selling panel TVs and even the shopkeeper noticed the lag when I pointed it out, that screen had terrible lag (my guess is at least 100-200ms). Imagine playing Tekken on that and not seeing your opponent's move till 100ms after it has occurred...
Even a nonpro gamer playing Counterstrike or other FPS will find it annoying that he keeps getting shot by someone peeking round a wall/corner before he even gets to see that person. Games like Guild Wars allow some players to interrupt skills if you do things in time. Every millisecond counts. If your round trip ping is 100ms and your reflexes are 250ms, you can easily interrupt (with a 0.25 sec interrupt skill) opponent skills that take 0.75 seconds to cast (assuming the game adds 100ms max). If the panel is too slow, what used to be easy with a faster LCD/CRT becomes difficult if not impossible to do reliably.
Gamers might be able to tolerate colours not being so good, and even a few dead pixels (actually a dead pixel in the exact center makes it good for some games as a built-in crosshair ;) ), but high input lag badly affects the gaming experience far more.
As for the two outputs having a difference, just use a card which doesn't (you can check with CRTs). To be rigorous, you can always swap the outputs to confirm the results.
I'm sure you can think of ways of measuring input lag. Some people use a chronometer/stopwatch displaying on both the screen being tested and a CRT, and then take a few pictures of it with a decent camera.
The rest of your post about double/triple buffering etc is not relevant - little to do with a monitor review.
You can go measure system latency in a different review- PC, video card, game or even CPU review. It might be quite interesting, given a cache miss in modern CPUs can waste a lot of cycles. A CPU might perform well in throughput, but when there is an unexpected change it might take a while to reach top speed again. My guess is the time scales of a CPU make it unlikely that the latencies would reach the order of many milliseconds, but who knows... Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Monday, February 11, 2008 - linkJarred, Jarred, Jarred...
IMHO, this monitor is total garbage and unusable due to input lag. I don't think you should shrug it off since you can't detect it, as it is a big issue for many people.
Check out this great chart: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/images/samsung_xl20/in...">http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/images/samsung_xl20/in...
You talked about measuring input lag...well, it's true that 2 DVI output ports could have a lag between the two, but we notice that they don't since the chart shows lags ranging from 1.6ms to 58.8ms (taken from average readings). That data validates user experiences, as well. Other sources have found that the 244T/245T have 55-65ms of input lag, and that the ports don't matter: http://tinyurl.com/2xl857">http://tinyurl.com/2xl857
Even if you can't perceive that, think about it in terms of ping. Is a 60ms ping the same as 120ms? This monitor effectively adds 60ms to your ping! And regardless of games, this isn't at all acceptable to me for a mouse cursor in Windows; the delayed feedback makes it harder to precisely point at anything.
Thanks anyway for the review, and normally I enjoy your writings. Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, February 11, 2008 - linkHere's the problem with that chart of input lag:
The GPU sends out a signal, at 60Hz. That means that the display gets a new image every 1/60s. So you can measure an input lag of 17ms, 33ms, 50ms, 67ms, 83ms, etc. What you can't measure are input lags of 2ms, 5ms, or any other value... unless the testing methodology itself is unsound.
They're taking an average, but an average of what? "We have 20 pictures that show no input lag and 20 pictures that show 1 frame of lag. That makes the average lag half a frame = 8.3ms." If the margin of error (due to output synchronization) is 1 frame - and it is in my testing - then lag is either undetectable, ~1 frame, ~2 frames, etc.
It could very well be that the 245T has worse lag than other displays. I don't have access to most of the displays they've tested, and I don't have any CRTs. I can compare results to a 2407WFP or 3007WFP, or maybe a couple other LCDs. However, the baseline would be inherently different.
I talked about the question http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2...">here and later http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2...">here, and at that point I decided that the methodology and reliability (with clearly different screen refreshes taking place in pictures) made the whole process virtually meaningless, so I stopped doing it.
If you want a figure of approximate lag, I can try to put a number of frames "lag" with a margin of error of 1. So anything less than one is apparently "equal" - which is what I found in every test I tried previously. To do an average is misleading - or at least an abstraction that hides the inherent flaws in the testing methodology - so I won't do that. Reply
nevbie - Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - linkI don't know if this is reasonable - but if I were to think a way to measure input lag, it wouldn't be a comparison of clone moded monitors where other is a CRT and other is the subject.
Instead I'd like to measure the time difference between pressing a button (mouse/keyboard) and a change that occurs on the screen. This is what people care about anyway. Of course such measurement would also count all the other delays caused by system, not just monitor only. (Now that sounds interesting, at least from a gamer standpoint!)
How to do it? I don't know. A combination of a device that sends a signal to the PC and "photographes" the LCD (or part of it) would do it (constantly photographes for some time, after input given to the PC). Software-wise, a program that keeps the screen black and waits for input, and turns it red if it gets the input would be enough. Perhaps a modded caliberator could be used (dunno about their functionality). With such system you could even measure lag caused by other hardware, let's say multi-GPU (if such lag exists, that is).
Just my thoughts.. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - linkI agree with your theory, that input lag measurements should be in increments of 1/60s. For some reason, that's never how the measurements play out.
I found just what you asked for: 70 data points from 7 monitors, graphed. http://tinyurl.com/2gajok">http://tinyurl.com/2gajok http://tinyurl.com/rgx9n">http://tinyurl.com/rgx9n
Looking at the data, I think it's reasonable to take the average of 10 readings, in spite of unknown measurement inaccuracies. Those averages give pretty good information about the real-world lag versus a CRT.
Here's an easy test you can do to expose the lag: move your mouse across the screen in an abrupt, sharp sweep. Compare when the sound of the mouse against the table ceases, versus when the cursor stops moving. Reply
jimmy43 - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkI tend to agree on most points with you. However, input lag IS a real issue. For example, I use a monitor with 16ms refresh time and it doesnt bother me at all, while it would drive other people nuts. The same goes for input lag, and certain people's sensitivies.
Incidentaly, the 244T had input lag so terrible I read countless reports of them being returned because they were completely unusable. This is from many different sources on many different sites. So the first thing I wanted to know about the 245T was weather or not it addressed this issue.
If you could, at the very least, just throw something about it in the subjective area then that would be helpful. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkSubjectively, I didn't notice anything related to lag compared to other LCDs. But if I'm not susceptible to that.... :) Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, February 07, 2008 - linkAnd I added a note on the subjective evaluation for you. Reply
PPalmgren - Friday, February 08, 2008 - linkInput lag is the main thing I look for in LCD monitor reviews, and no one seems to want to cover it. It is the ultimate buying point for me. I "upgraded" from a Viewsonic VX922 to a NEC 2470WNX and the input lag made me put my 19 inch back of my desk. I mainly play RTSes and clicking accuracy is very important. When using the WNX I had major problems because of the delay, destroying my ability to click accurately on small things at high speed. In order to click dead-on, you have to guess your mouse distance exactly and click before the pointer shows up there on the screen. The input delay feels to be about 2-3 frames difference between my monitors. I currently have them both hooked up and use nView to switch between them now.
Would it be possible to set a computer up for dualview and compare reviewed monitors side-by-side with a known well performer to measure input lag through a photo, etc? I think it would be a great thing for reviews. Since my purchase I've built 2 machines for customers who wanted 24'' monitors, and I've tested each of them with the same results (HP2408, Dell2407).

It would be interesting to know what is used for most LCD TVs (52", 65").
I don't notice it mentioned usually. Reply

THE organiser of a Scarborough beauty contest which descended into a brawl says she is confident York's competition will pass off smoothly.
Diane Yalezo said the Miss York & District final, which she also runs, will be a much more upmarket affair than Miss Scarborough, which ended with police being called to tackle the disturbance.
"It takes place at the Hilton on May 3, with tickets costing £25, and with the winner automatically going through to the Miss England final in Torbay in June," she said.
"My only concern is that I've only got 10 contestants so far, and need to get more."
At the Miss Scarborough contest, held in Lebberston on April 12 and won by Filey teenager Jess Gale, supporters of one of the losing contestants are reported to have chanted 'Fix! Fix' and attacked a doorman with punches, kicks and handbags. A pensioner is also said to have been knocked to the ground in the melee.
North Yorkshire Police said officers were called to the competition at about 11.45 pm following reports of a disturbance but when officers arrived five minutes later, the situation had calmed down. "Police have not received any complaints and no one has been arrested in connection with the incident," said a spokesman.
Ms Yalezo, who reportedly cried for days after the Scarborough event and condemned the 'disgusting' behaviour, said she considered quitting afterwards but had now been persuaded to run the event again next year. However, it would be a "family event" at an upmarket hotel on a Sunday afternoon with cream teas served rather than alcohol.
Miss England organiser Angie Beasley is reported to have said that in her 26 years of organising pageants, had never once heard of a fight.
*Anyone still wanting to enter Miss York and District should call Diane Yalezo on 07864 028302 or email her at email@example.com as soon as possible.

About Souther Salazar
Souther Salazar's whimsical paintings depict a fantastic alternate universe that seems both odd and familiar, abstract and real. Embracing chance, accident, and stream-of-consciousness in his working process, Salazar creates images full of unusual characters and juxtapositions. Paintings like How We Love to Have Other People Love Things Through Our Eyes (2010) bring together flying cats, cars with faces, houses shaped like heads, and boats on legs. Salazar hopes that his enigmatic narratives will prompt viewers to let their own imaginations wander.

Bone manifestations of hemochromatosis
a patient with this disorder has had a nl liver bx, but a hip joint is affected -both clinically and on mri-femoral heaavascular necrosis. He lives in ohio-cleveland specifically. Should other joints be screened? Is there an orthopedist specializing in or with advanced knowledge of how this disease manifests in bone in the cleveland area?
Answer:To my knowledge, no such relationship exists. You need to look elsewhere for causes. There are multiple other causes, but iron overload is not one of them.

Because man can not live on BBQ alone, I made some cookies last night on the Egg. Why you ask? Why not? These can easily be done in the oven, but I was going to have to light the Egg for dinner anyway and I had a coupla hours before Mrs. G got home.
On to the Egg at 400 F, place setter legs down, 3 lil spacers and then the cookie sheet on top of that.
About half way done
12 minutes later
Get me a glass of cold milk to dunk these in. Man were they good. Really hit the spot after dinner. The downside - it seems like 8 was about the most I could put on a cookie sheet. The recipe made a little over 3 dozen cookies. How many batches is that? You do the math.

HILLSBORO, Ohio (AP) -- The southwest Ohio community of Highland County will celebrate agriculture in a forum next month.
National Radio Hall of Fame member Orion Samuelson is a featured guest. He has been giving daily farm reports from WGN radio in Chicago for more than five decades.
Local native and director of Ohio's Agriculture Department, David Daniels, is also scheduled for the Jan. 18 event titled "Agriculture is Everybody's Business."
The Times-Gazette newspaper (http://bit.ly/VNDlBq ) reports that the Highland Chamber of Commerce expects hundreds of people to attend its first such event focused on the agriculture community. Officials say the region's farmers really helped keep the local economy going during the national economic downturn.

Crono - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkAnand and Brian, rockin' the suits. :D
Watching now. Bay Trail is the most intriguing topic on the list, can't wait to see that kind of performance in tablets, especially for Windows or hybrid Windows/Android tablets. Reply
HarryATX - Wednesday, September 11, 2013 - linkOf all sites I read only you guys would do a mobile show from IDF. Great job! :-) Reply

ImSpartacus - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkThey could only talk for a half hour because they had to get to a meeting...
Don't worry lads, we left the camera running. :] Reply
Roland00Address - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkThanks for doing this, I was wondering when your next podcast would be now that winter is staring you have so many products to review (new phones, tablets, atom dissected, windows 8.1, mainstream haswell, etc) I was wondering if you were going to have time for a podcast prior to christmas. Reply
thejaredhuang - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkI know you guys are used to podcasts but on video it helps to look at audience (camera) more than each other. Cough Brian Cough. Great content and timing on the vid otherwise. Reply
Krysto - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkThey put the demo units in a cold room so the devices don't throttle down to their base clock speed? Wow, this type of misleading tactic is new from Intel. Reply
Krysto - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkBrian, Bay Trail isn't a "phone part". If it was, they would've announced it for phones now, too. But they didn't. It's a "tablet part" - i.e. less efficient part. Reply
Roland00Address - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkThe phone part comes later in q1 2014 The platform for phones is called merrifield and not baytrail, both use the same CPU architecture called silvermont but merrifield will probably have imagination instead of gen 7 graphics based off previous Intel roadmaps. Reply
slacr - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkAh, these are my favorite conversations at work! Perhaps i need different colleagues.
Is it just me or is the sound in the video more high pitch than the podcasts? Reply
ZeDestructor - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkNah, your colleagues are just as cool as you :P
And they're using a different mic here I think, its "sharper" than the usual... Reply
maxpower4738 - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkWill there be an audio only version too? Ideally in the podcast feed? Reply
LarsBars - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkGreat show! I still want to hear more opinion on 5S/5C. Can't wait for the next podcast! Reply
randomhkkid - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkI'm getting max 240p on the high-res video... Reply
HotrodMonkey - Thursday, September 12, 2013 - linkI think AnandTech has exceeded the credibility gap that would necessitate a suit and tie. Perhaps it's just me, but anyone outside of a job interview wearing a suit is a red flag for the bullshit patrol. An AnandTech branded polo and khakis (or even jeans) would be more appropriate. Also, the I'd still like an audio version of this published as a PodCast. I consume a lot of information this way, and I don't want to be required to focus on talking heads - or have the additional power consumed on my phone. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkThe suit and tie is actually my fault. When I was growing up I was always told/felt compelled to wear a suit whenever you were going to do anything important. I started the site when I was 14 and felt that being invited places to speak with manufacturers was a pretty important task, so the suit seemed logical. It sort of stuck as a way to represent ourselves as professional, especially in the early days when I was much younger and we didn't have established relationships with companies. As I grew older it sort of stuck as a thing we just always did, and it also helped carry the professional/credible message as we evolved.
Every now and then you may catch me slipping without a tie or even in a t-shirt and jeans, but I still feel like I owe respect to those who invite me places and choose to show it in part by donning the suit and tie.
Take care,
Anand Reply
hrrmph - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkStick with the suits at the venues where they are appropriate. You know what you're doing and it works. Respect is universally understood. And where it isn't, it should be.
Also, I've found it occasionally useful to temporarily remove the jacket to strike a different tone, so if it is really that bothersome to the home crowd on video, then that might be a possibility. But, it wouldn't be my first choice, just a tool to use when it really matters to need to tone down formality.
The message is what counts, and you guys were fascinating. Reply
ThortonBe - Friday, September 13, 2013 - linkThanks for doing this! Reply
simpleblob - Saturday, September 14, 2013 - linkGuys, please do post an audio version of this in the podcast feed. Entertaining conversation as always! Reply
flyingpants1 - Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - linkAnandtech has quality coverage, but you guys are WAY BEHIND with lots of stuff. Like why haven't you been doing weekly YouTube videos for years? Reply
Bakes - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkWhat if the quality coverage had to suffer for there to be weekly videos? Personally I prefer the quality coverage.
I love the podcasts and wish they were more frequent but I'd rather see them stop if they were detracting from the quality of the articles.
Just my two cents. Reply
sherlockwing - Saturday, September 21, 2013 - linkThe problem is lack of personal & busy schedule, Anand & Brain always have to travel all over the world to attend all kinds of trade shows and conference in addition to doing reviews and articles when they are at home. Even when they are free it is hard to get Ian on the line because time zone difference.
If Anandtech have someone else who can handle recording & organizing the podcasts(like Techreport who have a dedicated Podcaster) then we might be able to get bi-weekly podcasts. Reply

Jack Slays The US Box Office
But the take is not so giant...
Bryan Singer might be busy getting ready to make X-Men: Days Of Future Past, but for the last few days, all eyes have been on his latest film, J**ack The Giant Slayer. While it scored first place in the charts this weekend, it's not exactly a storming success, pointing to possible fairytale fatigue among audiences. Jack** managed $28 million this weekend, a soft start for a film whose budget nudged towards $200 million.
Jason Bateman/Melissa McCarthy comedy Identity Thief continues to do well, dropping just one place to second after hopping back up to first last week. It made $9.7 million to best newcomers 21 And Over, the Hangover-style college comedy, which took in $9 million in third, and horror sequel The Last Exorcism Part II, which scared up $8 million for forth place. Rounding out the top five was Snitch with $7.7 million.
Sixth place went to the latest Nicholas Sparks romance Safe Haven, which pulled in $6.3 million, above 'toon Escape From Planet Earth in seventh with $6.2 million. Eighth was Silver Linings Playbook ($5.9 million), ninth was A Good Day To Die Hard ($4.5 million) and Dark Skies sank to 10th with $3.5 million.
To see a beanstalk chopped down by Melissa McCarthy in the full charts, head to Box Office Mojo.

If you have ever been the child left standing alone on the playground, or intentionally passed over when the latest note was circulated around the classroom or ostracized through a force field of whispers and giggles by a core group of popular students you know the stress, anguish and sadness that can wash over your day. You arrive at school with a knot in your stomach and dread in your heart. What should be the start of another school day filled with learning, fueled by curiosity and delight, is a day riddled with anxiety and fear, fear of when the next social humiliation and emotional assault will strip you naked of all your defenses, leaving you feeling cold and self conscious, alone and dumbfounded as to why. I know all about it, because I was that child for portions of my 4th and 5th grade school years. I won't reveal the culprits' names out right, but if you decipher my coded clues the revelation is yours. (Like me the pair shops for shoes in the same department I do.)
Bullying resides squarely in the underbelly of humanity. It's a despicable, small man or woman's act and it is apparently on the rise. It is troubling always, but it is most troubling when malicious marginalization of groups or individuals is among children. Are children born bullies? I have heard it's a naturally occurring phenomenon. Maybe it's something like survival of the fittest. Seriously? Aren't we supposed to be somewhat civilized at this point? Like seeing toddlers with deep tans and a face full of makeup, strutting their stuff on stage like Vegas showgirls for baby pageants or seeing boys lifting weights at the age of 6, it seems to me, children bullying other children is a gruesome manifestation of adult business. Isn't bullying really rooted in fear and a sense of unworthiness? The fear may be that there isn't enough to go around, not enough social room for everyone to occupy space, not enough money for everyone to live comfortably, not enough glory for everyone to be great, not enough. Because, if there was a fundamental belief that there was enough, there would be no need to make someone else feel less than.
Wherever it comes from, it's one thing for it to happen to you, but when you become a parent and your children are bullied it becomes an all-new exercise in restraint and a call to action. Your baby is now in the world and ideally you want your child to have a full and happy social experience, to be accepted and allowed to and encouraged to contribute to their peer group. Then reality steps in and some misguided aggressor comes along and changes the game. What to do?
As a parent there are a multitude of feelings you are confronted with when a bully makes their way into your family dynamic, ushering in a call for constructive, instructive and destructive responses. What you want to do to the bully?
* Fire off a guided missile targeted at this child's back, I mean backpack. * Send in peer group infiltrates to annihilate them with retaliatory humiliation. * Dress them in dummy clothes and mark their foreheads with a bold, black ash "B" for all to be aware of their bullying nature so they can be banished or quarantined so as not to infect the group with their divisiveness anymore. * And shoot that kid a glare across the parking lot that should freeze their underpants every chance you get.
That wouldn't be very nice I though. You decide which camp those responses fit in.
Then there's bringing in the teacher, to ask for their extra vigilance and attention to the accused.
While we can't always stop the assailant, we can teach our children more about who they are and how they can be in this ugly case.
We can establish with our children:
1. They did not cause the bullying 2. They will not become aggressors 3. They are worthy of great friendships 4. They are strong 5. They have our full support and permission to stand up to the bully and here's how 6. This episode will not last forever even though it feels like it will 7. Finally, they should understand that children who bully are generally not happy children for some pretty unhappy reasons
Like most other stressful episodes in our children's lives, inherent in them are teachable aspects that can include lessons that will stay with them throughout their lives. For me, after the lead bully put an emotional whipping on me for months and I came home with headaches and strife and more half told stories of daunting days, that I shared with my grandmother, she finally, folded down her newspaper one day, looked over the top of it, through her glasses and beyond her usual gentle persona, balled up her fist, hoisted it in the air and told me, the next time, Ms. So and So did such and such, I was to HANDLE IT! Wow, that was all the permission I needed. I walked taller and more confidently the next day. Someone heard me, was on my side and had my back. And I did handle it and Ms. So and So and I became fast friends because of it and all her flunkies, who were too weak to stand on their own, opened up to me as well. I am not advocating violence, I am encouraging proactive demonstrations of strength.
So what's lost in these children who become bullies? Why do they choose to dominate others? I can't say for sure, but I suspect there are key voids in their lives and I hold on to the idea that the right intervention and guidance can show them how critical it is to empathize with others. I also suspect that they are modeling behavior they have seen somewhere before. That's ashame, but true. That brings us back to our roles as parents, teachers, aunties, uncles, grandparents and role models. If we want to do away with bullies we have to step in and show children the power of compassion, inclusion and kindness and sometimes it may have to be YOUR child leading that bully into a new way of understanding and viewing himself and the world, the understanding of love and forgiveness.
That brings me to another thing.... we'll talk about that next time.

Touch Table Project: Interview with Lance Castillo
UCSD PRIME students Lance Castillo and Wesley Hsu spent the summer in Japan designing and implementing an interactive touch table featuring MOPA's hand selected photography collection. The touch table, My Gallery 対話型 (Interactive), premiered in Osaka, Japan at the Knowledge Capital Trial Event. The students worked with three partners: MOPA, the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), and the Pacific Rim Undergraduate Experience (PRIME) program at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). See my blog post from September 14th for more information about our collaboration and the project.
We took a moment to talk to Lance Castillo about his experience.
What attracted you to the project? Why work on a touchscreen interface, and why do it in Japan?
From what I could tell in the anime shows that I watched, Japan seemed like a very magical and wonderful place. The fact that I could combine visiting Japan and working on something that I love to do was just too hard to pass up.
How did you manage to work with three different partners in different locations and time zones?
Cisco has a video conferencing website called WebEx that allowed us to see and hear each other's thoughts and opinions. It turned out to be a great asset since writing emails back and forth would have been a disaster.
What was it like living and working at NICT Keihanna Research Laboratories?
Working at the Keihanna Research Laboratories was really awesome. Being able to use and work with the latest visual technologies was great.
What was a favorite moment or experience in Japan?
My favorite experience in Japan was taking the Shinkansen to visit Tokyo and subsequently, Hiroshima. Watching all the wonderful scenes of Japan fly by at super fast speeds was pretty exhilarating.
What was your favorite food in Japan?
My favorite food in Japan was the rice bowl that I had near the Osaka aquarium. It was a bowl of rice topped by fresh slices of salmon and avocado. It sounds simple, but it tasted phenomenal.
How did this experience affect your ideas of museum work or photography?
No offense, but I never really was interested in museum work or photography before this experience. This project opened my eyes to all the different possibilities that can happen when you combine museum photography with technology. It becomes a whole new ball game because the user is more involved and, in my case, more interested in interacting with the art on a whole new level.
For now, enjoy the photos and video and get a sneak peak of what will be coming to MOPA soon!

8But what does it say?
The word is near you,
on your lips and in your heart
(that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9because* if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. 11The scripture says, No one who believes in him will be put to shame. 12For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. 13For, Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

About the Book
A collection of Black and White Fine Art Figure Photography, ranging from abstract to 'personal portraits'.
The goal in my work is elegance and simplicity. Using carefully controlled lighting, I focus on the shapes and textures of the nude human figure.
In addition to the preview on Blurb.com, a full preview of higher quality is available on my website at www.sgraham.com. Note however that two images on the website have been changed in the actual book. On the website in the images "Connecting" and "Icarus" I experimented with adding 'suns' to the images. I have decided that this was not true to my focus on the perfection of the human form, and have removed them. The website will be updated.
Features & Details
- Category Fine Art
Standard Portrait, 8×10 in, 20×25 cm
62 Pages
- Publish Date Mar 18, 2008

Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using a cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate elements normally aggregated in different files, including users, cron jobs, and hosts, along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services, and files. Its simple declarative specification language provides powerful classing abilities for drawing out the similarities between hosts while allowing them to be as specific as necessary, and it handles dependency and prerequisite relationships between objects clearly and explicitly.
codavaj is Javadoc in reverse: a seemingly useless reverse engineering tool to transform HTML Javadoc into Java source file skeletons (or a reflection API) like internal representation. You can: convert an entire local Javadoc tree into Java source code; download an entire remote Javadoc tree via HTTP(S); and derive a Reflection-like API based on information derived from a Javadoc tree. It is provided as a Java command line tool.
The purpose of SingleSub is to a provide a set of tools to make it easier to subscribe to RSS feeds. It consists of one Perl script and a set of XSLT templates, which provide RSS, HTML and Javascript tools used to subscribe to RSS feeds without restricting them to a specific aggregator. Instead, a dynamic list of aggregators is provided for the user to choose from. This list of RSS aggregators and how to subscribe to them is provided via several XML formats, so other tool developers can use them as well.
SIOX4Java (Simple Interactive Object Extraction) is a Java SDK that provides a generic segmentation engine for extracting the foreground from still images with little user interaction. The underlying method (which has also been integrated into GIMP) is noise and motion blur robust and can easily be adapted for the segmentation of objects in videos. The SDK also contains an experimental feature called the "Detail Refinement Brush", which enables the removal of spill colors and manual refinement of highly detailed textures.
Native XmlDB Query Daemon is a client-server version of the Sleepycat native XML database deployed as an Apache module. The client is a pure Java API, supporting XQuery, XPath, and an Xml:DB API layer. It comes with a graphical admin console. Server binaries are provided for Linux x86 and x86-AMD64; for other platforms, compile from source.

HOUSTON - A woman has been accused of abusing a 4-year-old girl with a broom and a belt, and her husband has been accused of not stopping the abuse.
Eutha Nicole Oliver, 32, and Shawn Carter, 45, have been charged with injury to a child.
Houston police said Oliver and Carter were supposed to be caring for the girl, who was staying with them since Aug. 3. Children's Protective Services said the girl's mother is in jail and left her daughter with Oliver and Carter.
Oliver took the girl to Children's Protective Services on Aug. 23, detectives said. The girl was then taken by ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital after workers discovered she had severe injuries, police said.
Doctors determined that the child had pelvic fractures, a broken toe and multiple bruises and abrasions, officials said.
Investigators said the girl told them that Oliver had whipped her with a belt several times and was hit on the head with the belt buckle. She also said that Oliver had thrown her against a wall for urinating on herself, police said.
The girl's toe was broken when Oliver used a broom to smash it, investigators said. The girl was barely able to walk after the injury.
The girl was also stomped on and kicked several times, police said.
Detectives said the abuse began shortly after the girl arrived at the couple's home and continued daily until Oliver took her to CPS.
Investigators said Carter never did anything to stop Oliver from abusing the girl. He claimed that the girl had some of the bruises before coming to his home and that she had inflicted some of them on herself while she was at his home, detectives said.
Carter said he and Oliver considered adopting the girl, police said.
A 7-year-old boy was also living in the couple's home, CPS officials said. The identity of that child's mother has not been determined, officials said. CPS has taken custody of that boy.
The couple's four children were also taken into CPS custody.
Oliver is being held in the Harris County Jail without bond. Her criminal history includes theft and assault charges.
Carter is being held in the Harris County Jail with bond set at $30,000. His criminal history includes charges of deadly conduct, tampering with a government document, unlawful carrying of a weapon, driving with a suspended license, theft and forgery.

Topic: Wedding anniversary
I'm not sure what to do here. I'm not even sure where was best to post this thread. It is my sister and brother in laws 21st wedding anniversary next week and I'm at a loss whether to give him a card or not. It feels wrong not acknowledging it. I know there is no right or wrongs on these things but I'm struggling with this one.
In the stars now . . . .

WHILE most babies won't get their first pearly whites until they are six-months-old, Keris Godwin got hers just days after she was born.
Her mum, Kerrie Aldridge, of Park North, noticed a lump in the newborn's mouth after she arrived by caesarean section at Great Western Hospital on February 12.
Two days later, the 31-year-old noticed Keris' first tooth had come through.
"It was weird because I saw a big lump in her mouth after she was born and I thought it looked like a tooth," said the mother-of-three.
"Then two days later I could just see there was something little and sharp in her mouth. "I said to the midwife 'I think she has got a tooth' and she gave me a funny look. She looked at her and then said 'oh my god, she has'.
"The midwife said they had heard of it happening but had never had it at the hospital before.
"It has just kept growing. Now it's massive. It's nearly a full-size baby tooth. It's on the bottom but she has got another two coming through at the top.
"Nobody else in my family got their teeth early. I don't know why she's come with them."
Keris, who weighed 5lbs 15oz when she was born, stayed in hospital with Kerrie after the birth, which was 10 days earlier than expected.
"I was booked in for a caesarean but I went into labour myself on the Tuesday. She was breech so I wasn't allowed to have a normal birth," said Kerrie.
"When she got her tooth I even had midwives coming to my room asking if they could have a look before we went home."
Keris' dad Chris, 26, said: "I was shocked when I found out she had a tooth. I had popped downstairs in the hospital to get a drink and then I saw Kerrie with all the midwives holding Keris.
"I said 'what's going on?' and she said she had found a tooth. All the midwives were amazed."
Kerrie said they are delighted to welcome Keris into the family.
"I have got two boys already, Keris is my first little girl. It's amazing to have her. I still keep looking at her like I'm dreaming," she said.
"I think she looks like my youngest boy, she's the double of him. Everyone else says she looks like me."
In most babies, baby teeth start to emerge through the gums when they are around six-months-old, but they can be born with teeth.
Bottom front teeth are usually the first to come through, at around five to seven months and top front teeth usually come through at around six to eight months.
