hi all sifu
Im planing get a lcd, after some search, found that lcd is cheap this day
Saw a forum member put a [/B]HP LP3065 30" [/B]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"

Wow....resolution 2500 x 1600
Got name on this!

Hi bro what will happen if use low/mid level GC on the HP 3065, will it damage the lcd?
Hope that can fullfill my knowledge
Sorry for the noob question

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

About LCD TV
Can i use LCD TV on PC?
Possible?

What's requirement do i need?
What disadvantage using LCD TV on PC?

No it wont. For normal use like web reading, excel working, It will working fine. In gaming, if your graphic card unable to handle it, it will turn to black screen( you can hear the game sound but no display), else will very lagging, loading like snail.

LCD is fine, but graphic card crying because he been "rejected"

to me if....if size is important than yes....the 30" is worth it....but of course check for warranty etc etc.

end of the day....its still up to u to decide if its worth it or not
no it wont...just like the bawang mentioned above....for normal usage etc...no papedam

ur graphics card is the one that will suffer if u try to game on it....ull end up with a slideshow instead of a game.

Thanks a lot for the info
Got problem using cheap GC watch movie?

Thanks again

Hi, can someone tell me which is the best monitor among the following? Dell G2410, 2209WA, HP 2309M, Acer H233H/ S243HL, and Samsung B2430H/ P2450H. I'm planning to get a monitor for my workstation/entertainment rig, so would like to know which monitor from the above will be the better option for me. Thanks.

Any recommendation GC pair with HP LP3065 at low/mid level, prefer cheap
Btw is that possible getting nice picture quality while watching movie with low/ mid level GC?

Note: no gaming at all, normal office work and watching movie

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.

Of course, for dual-link to work, the cable, output source and display device must be geared up for it. Some graphics cards will only have a single link DVI transmitter, which leaves you without the ability to run at ultra-high resolutions. So, if you buy a high res DVI monitor, make sure you can hook up a dual-link interface to it.

@ mADmAN
I see u have dual monitor setup
Usually Full HD resolution rate at 1920 X 1080, dual monitor resolution will be.....??? Confuse on this issue

a blank Excel work sheet, how many columns is show on dual monitor?

Thanks in advance

please take notes :

google for more on : dual-link dvi

about the resolution, request any setting on GC?

Wow...... (BG)!!! that is Exacly double the size!! This realy help, Sweet!!

Thx bro

About the dual link,
Dual DVI output from single GC or Dual DVI output from dual GC?
Can i use single GC with Dual DVI output and connect both DVI output in to HP LP3065 to have better picture quality or HD. Because only use it to watching movie only

Newbie on this
Thx

not much to set...most of the time its pretty much auto.....

basically just set each monitor to native reso and kow tim

Is dual dvi output from single GC if not mistaken,no need to use up to 2 GC.The dual-dvi if not mistaken,is to get maximum resolution the display support.
