Is this brand good? Where can i watch the display unit in Lowyat?
Besides, is there any suggestion for other brand?
Thanks in advance

i have no idea where to ask but here.

if i were to buy a 24"fullHD monitor, do you think a p4 2.66ghz+1gb ram+asus ati 9550ge 256mb/128bit can support the fullHD monitor?

Viewsonic is 23.6 not a pure 24", and since budget is not a concern at the moment, u can also check out Samsung P2450 or LG w2453v (both well known leaders in LCD manufacturing, see wikipedia).. or if u want u can get a 24" IPS panel from DELL around RM1599.. If u really want even bigger u can go for ASUS VK266H (25.5" going for RM1349 with built in speakers)

I suggets u read online reviews of all the abovesaid LCD before making a decision.

Most of the LCD are on display side by side at Thundermatch and ALLIT at Lowyat.. Built in speakers generally sucks (read previous posts) it is better u use your own speakers and connect it to the LCD sound output..Cheers!

seriously.. for future compatibility... new monitors must have at least a DP port.... HDMI is not a must (if DVI is present)

Is there anywhere that I can see the Dell U2410 monitor in person without going to BeastX's house?

............. Dell does have a full refund policy, not sure applicable in Malaysia or not.

What is DP Port?

DisplayPort. Its another video interface standard like HDMI and DVI. More info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_port

Is this monitor from DELL ST2310 good? Plan to use it for console gaming and watch movies.

Any comments?

i see > 95% monitors sold now dont have displayport. why so important?
vga d-sub survived for more than 15 years can still be used with adapter if gpu card doesnt have vga out

if you want triple-monitor setup with ati eyefinity and need to use 1 displayport from the card, can use this displayport to hdmi adapter eh

Both these are passive DP to DVI/HDMI adapters .... not all DP ports will have pass-through DVI/HDMI signals going through the DP (also known DP+). You'll need a powered active DP to DVI/HDMI converter for the case of AMD/ATI 5870 (& all the rest of the 5000 series), if you want to power more than 2 monitors. These powered active converters are not cheap (around USD 100).

Besides adding DP input to a monitor does not incur much cost to the monitor manufacturers. In fact if a monitor with DP cost the same as without, perfect logic is to get one that has it). Especially if you r getting a new monitor.


U2410 is beyond FullHD (1920x1080) with 1920x1200 resolution (& it has a 4 port USB hub and a multi card reader)...

Noob here, wanna ask whether all lcd's with speakers automatically has sound output ports for external speakers??

Is it automatic or how to see and identify the sound output??

Those monitor with built in speaker, either the sound source from HDMI or a 3.5 port. If you don't want any sound out from monitor, you just set the volume to zero.

Where? my CRT finally kong and im thinking getting this or dell 2409w

U2410 got even higher resolution la.....1920x1200 vs Full HD 1920x1080. 16:10 ratio is a great plus also....................

Hi, I am planning to get a 22-24 screen soon, where should I start? Which models to consider? Preferably without speaker

Tried to read few pages back, but can't get any indication of what to get, 16:10 preferably

Buy any monitor that you affordable, actually few pages back was discussing about Dell U2410 which is a 16:10 monitor.
