Doesn't look particularly good to me. 640x480 at 30fps? I know it's no GoPro, but that's a seriously low resolution by modern standards.…

You can get them, but most places that still have stock want $500+ for them. The consensus seems to be that the 808 has a better camera for…

Yes, it appears to be TN (from the 140 degree viewing angles). The other technologies (PVA and IPS) tend to have much higher viewing angles.

Isn't that the whole point? It's better because the viewable area is larger. Some people prefer them because you get a little bit more…
