You got 2 other DVI ports... just get a DVI to HDMI adapter

To preserve/use the audio through HDMI.. not a hdmi spliter ... but a HDMI switch.

Hmm... I like widescreen so 21.5" or 23.5".

Try Acer G205H (around RM389 to RM395 depending on shop).

For that amount, lots of choices For 21.5", there's the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA (RM759) which is an IPS panel , and for 23.5" there's Samsung XL2370 (RM1039) which garnered some good reviews.

Acer S243HL 24" at RM780 also not bad, few of my friend using it.

I read a review that the colour isnt that good. Well it is cheap for a 24". Maybe I will go for Samsung XL2370.

hi all sifu
Im planing get a lcd, after some search, found that lcd is cheap this day
Saw a forum member put a HP LP3065 30" on sale
My question, is it worth buy a 2nd hand 30" at RM1300 or new samsung P2770H 27" at RM1300
Many thanks for all reply

if u wanna buy the 30" and game on it u gotta make sure u have a VERY powerful graphics card to be able to game on it's native resolution which is VERY high. dont be surprised if u even have to end up getting SLI or crossfire to play even heavier games. at 30" reso.

the 27" is only 1080p resolution which is MUCH lower than the 30" and gaming at 1080p is not that hard for mid ranged GCs these days.




but if gaming isnt a concern........id take the 30"

hi all, I have never really checked LCD comparison before so need some advises from you all out there cos I'm getting a new LCD soon, this weekend to be precise. from my location, KK, sabah. not much that i can choose from.. swt

however need some input on getting my new LCD. Here are the things i need

Budget : RM700 or more bit
LCD size : 22" and above, preferable 24" above if have
Purpose : Movie + Gaming + normal work
Connector : HDMI + DVI

Some question : to support Full HD i read some ppl say must have around 40" to get the real resolution? so in my case, 22" above is only HD capable?

Are there ones which are just normal square view and not the Wide angle type? i find im still not used to that. Will that affect the HD movies or Full HD movies if im on normal or i really must buy a wide angle type?

Graphic card compatibility : Im getting a new vga soon as well and hoping to get one with HDMI output so can plugged directly to the new LCD i'm gonna get thru HDMI. Can recommend those that i should get too, in order to get the best out of 2 worlds?

Edit : 1 other thing, what are those IPS Panel LCD? what does the IPS do actually, bit new to LCD thingies

Hope can get my answers soon

Thanks

with that budget u can get some decent 24"...like the Dell ST2410

nope...the full HD resolution can be on any size...basically its 1920*1080 for full HD.

its just a matter of how many pixels can be squeezed into the screen size... the bigger the monitor/tv the bigger the pixels...the smaller it is the smaller the pixels. but for full HD the size of pixels is a diff story...watever the size, for full hd, there will always be 1920 pixels horizontally and 1080 pixels vertically.

for full HD...no. if u were to watch full HD on the square type (aka 4:3 aspect ratio) 2 things might happen.. the image will be cut off... or ull get black bars at the top and bottom. full hd is 16:9 aspect ratio fyi

and u should start getting used to widescreen... those square 4:3 ratios are extinct and its highly unlikely that itll make a come back.

before that... take note that DVI and HDMI are the same video-wise. the only difference is that HDMI is able to carry digital SPDIF audio signal in 1 cable....so basically HDMI = (DVI + SPDIF Digital Audio). video quality wise u wont be able to notice a difference.... and due to marketing...HDMI cables tend to be more expensive. so if all u want is video output from ur graphics card...id just go with DVI.

another thing ive noticed is that alot of people in this forum have been having issues with the screen not fully covering the entire monitor when using HDMI...even when set to the monitor's native resolution and most of the time switching to DVI settles the problem. either that or that scaling thingy in ATI CCC.


so...if u dont want audio to be brought through hdmi...sticking to DVI would be easier, cheaper and less of a hassle. besides... built in speakers in monitors tend to be utter crap and using cheap 2.1 speakers via the onboard audio card will usually yield better results than using the built in speakers via hdmi.


IPS and TN are the panels itself... basically different technologies for LCD panels... IPS is far surperior than TN in terms of color reproduction accuracy. but IPS is also VERY expensive. a good example would be Dells 24" ST2410 (TN) vs U2410 (IPS). the ST2410 is RM679 while the U2410 is RM1.8k...thats 1.2k more.

for us normal users TN panel is more than sufficient... IPS is more suited to those who do video and photo editing and graphics design etc.

thanks for fast reply
the reason i choice above lcd is not about they high resolustion but the size, might consider if the 32" below my budget( my work request wide (not wide screen) monitor, that why i chioce big lcd)
Im not a gamer, I dont have any graphic card on my PC, using onboard
My question: is it worth to buy a 2-3 years old 30" at rm1300 or 27" new at rm 1100
Thx in advance
