If I'm not mistaken, someone selling this Chimei monitor in this forum.

Yes there is. 22" 1920x1080 for less than Rm500.
I don't mind the brand.

Hi Guys,

I am looking at a few options for a 23-24 monitor, under consideration are :

1.Dell S409W.
2.Samsung P2370
3.Dell G4210
4.Viewsonic  VX2433WM
Any other worthy competitors ?

Acer H233H, AOC Angelo, Samsung P2350 was missing in your list.

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?

Ok guys, this AOC 2434Pw has turned from ugly duckling into a swan once I swapped from VGA cable to HDMI/DVI.

I'm starting to like this AOC monitor.

DVI->HDMI (new):
(as attached below)

Note: This movie is a DVD rip, quality ok-ok only.

Btw the built in speakers turned out quite well if HDMI<->HDMI cable (video & audio) is used.

However this monitor is not for everyone especially if you're running a GeForce FX 5500. There's a lot of intermittent 1 sec black outs occurring and games are totally unplayable as the screen will flicker and trash your screen like crazy. Your PC will blue screen in no time. Time to upgrade PC I guess. Playing 1080 trailers gave me a 100% CPU utilization :0

how bout after sale service?
izzit gud?

Too bad LED monitors do not support HDMI yet.

Hi,
I just bought AOC 2434Pw, but the LCD can not display in full screen. I mean there is still a quite big black edge around the Window desktop screen. So is that error setting of AOC LCD or graphic card.
I used Dell Vostro 220s with 256MB PCIe™ ATI Radeon™ HD3450 w/HDMI Out and DVI Out.

I am looking for your help and advice.

TQ

yes, correct, I use HDMI cable from AOC LCD. But AOC 2434PW only has 2 ports: 1 HDMI, and 1 is VGA port not DVI.
So How to solve this problem all my frens.

Btw , dear Chris2k4, what do u mean "open cat ctrl center ->dtv(dvi)->scaling option", where is that option?
Thanks
