just brought the DVI-D single link cable and test on my monitor ..don't seem any improvement over pic quality over VGA cable on the LCD plus i cant use the auto adjustment or what ever auto function build in by samsung.. After switch back to VGA i can run the auto adjustment function like normal... maybe will try to get the Dual link DVI-D

Anyone want to buy my DVI cable ?

Hi to all LCD Monitor freaks of LYN.

I used to set my eye on the AOC Angelo (2494SW) and the Samsung 2494HS, but the Angelo lack the DVI input and the Samsung 2494HS unfortunately did not impress me as compared to others. The color produced by the Samsung 24 incher was rather dull and image ghosting is pretty obvious for a conventional 5ms monitor. While Viewsonic's VX2433wm seem like a good buy; great price, 2ms resp time, matte finish (comfortable for the eye), i am just not too sure in its quality; so how well does Viewsonic monitor fare as compared to the others mentioned in my commentary?

Digital signal doesn't supports the adjustment of screen sizes, tilting, zoom in out, wider, taller or etc. It is automatically fit to your screen size. If u wanna adjust those, it is only available for analog signals.
Your problem is you can't use Magic Bright?

yup...so dual link can support auto adjustment ?

Dell UltraSharp U2410 has landed... 

Panel Type: IPS - In Panel Switching
Resolution: 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz
Price: RM 1999

Finally we have 24" with IPS from dell... with an interesting price 

view it under "Small & Medium Business" section.

Dual Link won't solve ur problem as what is explained by BeastX. Dual link only used for higher resolution than 1920x1080.
Ur problem might be solved if u are using DVI-I. haven't tried it yet so not sure.

My Dell S2409W is using DVI-D and i have no problem using the preset mode. But the preset mode only changes color,brightness and contrast. Size is automatically fitted to my native screen resolution. I really wonder how come ur MagicBright doesn't work with DVI-D cuz it only adjusts contrast and brightness. So weird. 

What is the spec of your onboard display chip?
Cause I'm looking for lowest end PCI display card to match LCD monitor 22"

Pentium 200+MHz  (I'll have to check tonight)
Windows98

Are you using maximum resolution for your monitor ?

ANd my graphic on board manage 1064x768 only.

By right or design... you will not be able to fit a DVI-I socket into the DVI-D input on the monitor.... the 4 analog pins (above and under the flat/wide metal pin) will impede insertion.

The only connector needed (for a sub 2.4Mpixel monitor with a DVI-D input), is a SL-DVI cable.....

is monster cable producing DVI cable as well?

so hard to find a good cable here... all selling the standard cheap DVI cable.... Which will cost RM25 - 80 +++

That why you will see all those website & photos stretched, because you're using 1024x768 resolution which is suppose for 4:3 monitor but not 16:9 monitor. If you use 1920x1080, you problem will fix.

Thanks.. was guessing it was the resolution as well..  wonder if there is a lesser 16:9 resolution to use instead of 1920x1080.

Hi to all LCD Monitor freaks of LYN.

I am currently on the hunt for LCD monitors as i feel that the 15.4" on my Asus F5SL is just too small for me when it comes to movies, and wanting to have an office and web browser together side by side.

Thus, i've been doing alot of reading regarding LCDs to juggle between price, specs and the practicality of each specs, such as 250, 300, 350 or 400 cd/m2 brightness (too bright aint good rite?); DCRs (it seems that they hardly make that great difference, 20k:1 and 50k:1?); BLBs. Which monitor gives the least BLB problem? (Of course, the LED backlitted models wont have this problem)

Currently i've been setting my eyes on the Asus VH242H, Acer P244W and the Dell G2410 (with LED backlighting giving DCR of 1,000,000:1). From my recent surveys from LYP and DMPJ, respectively i was able to get bargains of RM710, RM785 respectively and RM899 from Dell Online as it was not to be found in stores.

Among these 3 models for the 24" range which 1 would be the best choice? In terms of color, the Dell surely topples the Asus and Acer but does the extra money justify its performance in terms of vividness and accuracy of color? Reviews for the G2410 is pretty good though. Also, although all uses TN panels, which company manufactures/uses the best panel among these 3?

I used to set my eye on the AOC Angelo (2494SW) and the Samsung 2494HS, but the Angelo lack the DVI input and the Samsung 2494HS unfortunately did not impress me as compared to others. The color produced by the Samsung 24 incher was rather dull and image ghosting is pretty obvious for a conventional 5ms monitor.

I've also been keeping an eye on the 23" section as the cheaper alternative and perhaps for practicality as it'll save me around RM100-200 for a 0.6" difference.

The models are the Acer's H233H, Samsung 2333SW+, 2343, P2370/2350, as well as the Dell S2309w. Which of these choices would deem best value for money. I'm guessing that the Samsung's P series are hot for its aesthetical new design featuring the ToC (like the older T series). The Acer H233H has HDMI support over the X233H, along with some cosmetic difference, is that all? The Samsung 33 and 43 series monitors only sport difference in its control panels, i think and the Dell simply produce nicely designed monitors (exceptions to the G series with LED backlight) and great after sales support.

So as you can see here, i am actually eyeing on Full HD monitors but i would like to ask whether or not if my Asus lappie running on a Mobility Radeon HD 3470 be able to make full use of these monitors in terms of resolution. I am not an avid gamer and i only play simple games like Dota.

I'm having a hard time narrowing down my options and i came here as a last resort, listing down all the models which has been bugging me the last 2 weeks. Other models not listed here are probably obsolete or way over my budget. But are there other models within RM800 that you (kind souls who has spent the last 4minutes of your precious time) could recommend me?

I'd be really thankful to hear opinions and feedbacks from LYNers to help me decide on my purchase. I dont trust the opinions of salesmen, they tell you the obvious and whichever would push their commission higher. Thanks in advance for reading and your commentaries/opinions. =)
