Just have a quick question here.

How well does Acer H233H scale low-res movies on full screen?
Resolution of such movies are around 640x480 (you know those older animes which don't get the HD treatment now a days).

How does it scale to low-res movies in full screen?
Movies which has resolution of only 640x480.... or worst.

I could live with black bars.... since either ways 640x480 is a 4:3 ratio.

BTW, how's the image quality on low-res movies then?

Thats what I wanna know... poor quality ones.
I have a ton of older animes in crappy-ass quality which are in RMVB with a bitrate of sub-200kbps.

Well as long as its decent.... I don't mind.

You can download some 720p hq trailers of some games here : www.gamersyde.com

Will surely put your monitor at its full glory.

Distortions almost evertime when something loud happens.

I can still bear with it.... after-all, these animes are really really old.
Not even proper 480p treatment for these animes. Heh..

I'm kinda torn in between the Acer H233H and Viewsonic VX2433w at the moment. Price, the Viewsonic is just about RM10-20 more so it doesn't matter either ways.

Specs wise.... they're neck and toe.
But I've heard some unconvincing thats that the Viewsonic has rather poor black levels? Now I know TN panels won't offer you any true blacks either way, but in comparison to the Acer.... how is it?

If connected using HDMI (say you connect it with a PS3/360), you can use the output audio port to a pair of speakers.

Went for Viewsonic VX2433wm afterall... At first got the H233H, but turned out there was a dead pixel. But the main problem was the glossiness, really too distracting. Pains my eyes somemore.

Changed it for the VX2433wm... off to test it out vigorously.

Yes it is.
Although there are monitors even if its HDCP compliant won't show an image from the PS3.

It is 23-inches, 5ms response time.

Cheapest of the bunch = Acer H233H.
Glossy screen, so this may or may not be a deal breaker for you. If you are putting the monitor with lots of lights, the reflection may bother the heck out of you. Performance wise, this monitor is decent, good black levels and the glossy screen does make colors more vibrant. However this is especially bad if you're doing a little bit of photoshopping.

I personally went for the Viewsonic VX2433WM and it is slightly more expensive than the H233H. But the matte screen was what made me chose it. I just couldn't take the reflection from the Acer. As you can expect from Viewsonic, nice and rather accuarate (for a TN panel you don't expect high of a color gamut) colors.

According to most owners of the AOC 2434PW, it is pretty impressive on its own. It is on the same price as the Viewsonic though, I didn't get a chance to look at it so other owners can shed some light on this one.

But if anything, I'd suggest the Viewsonic VX2433WM among all else. The backlight bleed is so much lesser than the Acer.

Better specs in regards to only a 60,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.
If you like DCR, this may be the one to go for. If you're like me who couldn't care less about DCR either ways.... well, I guess its fine if you go either AOC or Viewsonic.

No that is false.
I have my PS3 and PC hooked up to the monitor now. PC via DVI and PS3 via HDMI.

The monitor remembers the last input it was in before I switch it off. There is absolutely no need to choose the niput when I turn it on at all.

For its price (RM800 IINM), the G2411HD isn't a very good deal.
It doesn't provide as vibrancy of colors of the V2400W and FP94VW.

I initially wanted to get this monitor, but for its price.... it doesn't outperform the other cheaper 23/23.6-inchers which are under RM700 right now.

Yea.
Because pixel-pitch on a 21-incher is so darn small when the resolution is at 1080p, you won't even realise that you could be squinting your eyes to look at the screen.

Bad in the long-term.

Quality is good and its color vibrancy is boosted by its glossy screen. However if you are doing some photoshopping, the glossy screen will definitely hinder your work. Also the glossy screen may be something rather personal. Some can take the reflection, many can't. But overall, its a nice monitor with decent black levels.

My impression exactly when I saw it in All IT.
Utter crap.

But you know, REQUEST that you want to see it in its native resolution (which is what I did, although with Viewnet).

You can always route the PS3's audio to a pair of speakers individually, without the use of HDMI. Or of course you can even use the optical out if your speakers has support for optical input.

It is better to go for HDMI equipped LCD monitors, simply because you'd want to take advantage of the Deep Color feature for PS3 games and movies.

That's true.
There are still alot of 2434pw available. Not going to be sold out anytime soon, atleast not this year.
