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?
You give your old Philips LCD a DVI connection and the new AOC 2434Pw the old VGA connection ?
No wonder your movies quality look like crap on the AOC 2434Pw.
The AOC is best used with HDMI or a DVI to HDMI converter with 1920 x 1080 resolutions.
Based on your connections and pictures, I can guess you are using a resolutions of 1280 x 1024 for both the LCDs
(with VGA port on the AOC) because I can see some stretches blur on the AOC 2434Pw.
To be fair, you should test the AOC 2434Pw with a HDMI cable (with DVI to HDMI converter) on 1920 x 1080 resolutions
and more better if you can test movies with 1920 x 1080 fullHD resolutions (mkv files or blu-ray). I can show how good
3gp movies look nice on my 2 inch handphone LCD screen and look like crap on the AOC 2434Pw in full screen mode. haha.
