hmm....i didnt seem to have this kind of problem for aoc angelo,u use hdmi?

Did you tried calibrating it?

As to DCR, well of course you can't compare it like that.
Try playing movie in full screen, when the scene moves from a bright scene to a dark scene, the DCR will do its 'magic'

Was eyeing an AOC 2434Pw last weekend. At the shop, it looked kinda good but for some reason the other 22" AOC next to it looked better due to its glossy screen and appeared to have tighter pixels and more vibrant colours. Nevertheless I proceeded to purchase the 2434Pw due to good reviews on this thread.

Back home, I did some quality comparison test with my 6 year old LCD, the Philips 170B4 (25ms response time). Damn, the results are kinda disappointing. The 6 year old TN LCD beats the AOC hands down. I say this because the AOC can't seem to produce enough color scales.

Take a look at this pic1 IMG_9502.JPG. Observe that you can differenciate between the woman's shoulders and arms from the background on my Philips. On the AOC it's so dark you can't see shit.

In the last pic3 IMG_9507.JPG, compare again the shadows behind the picture frame the guy is holding. Clearly the details are lacking on the AOC. No matter how I adjusted its setting, it still could not produce good colour scale. Btw the Philips was on DVI and AOC on VGA (obviously coz it lacks DVI input).

Now the ultimate let down. I was hoping the in-built speakers would at least gimme some decent audio but no! It's worse than a RM5 pair of speakers! Worse than laptop speakers. If you peek the unit from the top, you can see these 2 cheap looking "tweeters" inside.

Ok, I'm done b****ing. Now who wants to buy my unit?

nice keyboard there 

guys, i'm looking forward to a new lcd. what's the optimum resolution of your Samsung 2233SWs? do you notice any difference in image quality when using resolutions other than the optimum?

Anyone can suggest me a good lcd for PS3? Either 22" or 24". Not so expensive though.

S2309 from Dell
or
2233SW from Samsung?
