Guys, what is the difference between DCR and ACM? When looking for LCD monitor, we always come across these 2 things. I know tht DCR stands for Dynamic Contrast Ratio while ACM is Adaptive Contrast Management. But what is it actually? Which 1 is better / latest technology? i noticed brand like SAMSUNG and Viewsonic use DCR terms while Acer LCD use ACM....

Just bought H233H monitor and installed it today. I never knew the speaker sound comes from the back panel and the sound wave will go out from the top of the monitor. This will make the person who are behind the monitor hear more clearly more than the one facing the monitor lolx. Pretty funny the built-in speaker.

Lowyat plaza or lowyat.net


Lowyat plaza haven't gone there be4 so dunno. If lowyat.net go into garage sales, in the display cards and monitors. Browse around if ur lucky to get ppl who sell it at pc fair price. Otherwise, go pc fair , it'll be little cheap. My friend got H233H at the price of Rm 599 ( psycho number ) which if in other shop it would sell at RM 65X

Aiyoh, then the screen would go wider and wider and wider. But how about the height? .

Oic. But comparing my H233H and my old Viewsonic 19" , some reason i felt that H233H is too wide for the height . Arent there any "normal" screen measurement which the wide and height looks more 'balance'?

I think it is not wise to compare the contrast rate directly as other company uses different scheme/ method/ unit . Example like high end view sonic will use 20 000:1 DCI and for high end acer 80 000:1 ACM ( Adaptive Contrast Management ) . Looking at the number makes you wanna go for Acer for sure, but note that is uses different unit. I've tried to find pro vs cons for both and which is better about both units but failed to get any direct comparison.



I do not know about Samsung 2333sw, but i am H233H user. Just bought it a week ago. And Rm 670 is way to expensive oi . I bought at the garage sales at Rm 659 . Some1 in lowyat also had seen H233H sold at Rm 599 in Pc fair. So walk around, find a good price yourself. H233H has 1.5W build in speaker which is loud enough for me. The only drawback is the direction of the sound is more at the back-top, hence it is advisable to have a wall behind the monitor to bounce the sound back to the front. If somehow u put the monitor in an open space / center of a room, people who are at the back monitor will hear the sound more clearer/ louder compared to the one facing the screen


As for the display quality, yeah it is crystal clear. Really enjoyed watching HD drama and watching anime.


Some tips , it is best if you go to the shop and compare it front of ur eye. It is best to watch the video demo instead of watching Wallpapers. Some shop will display the monitor with High definition wallpapers that will attract you, but at the same time do not be fooled. You'll get different opinion when you watch it play a real live movie instead ( not anime )

FUhyo, just noticed New LED monitor by Acer 24" 8,000,000;1 contrast ratio at RM 780. Huhu. ANyone have experience using this monitor? The image quality really diffren?



* started to feel kinda regret bough H233H too soon huhuhuhuhu.........
