What is the 24" full hd led monitor that i can get for rm 500 to 600 , for gaming.

For some reason a Mod asked me to asked here and close my thread in Q&A.
soooo ?

Kinda hard to find 16:10 nowadays, bar that, it's impossible

yeah. been looking hi & low.
dell got but over budget
16:9 seems abit penyek to me

Any recommendations for a 20" monitor? Thinking of getting one for my laptop. Planning to extend the displays when necessary

Full HD terus je. With your budget I think can get Acer/BenQ LED full HD monitor

gonna do some research first. if couldnt find anything more maybe after work go hunting at challenger the mines.
HD pn HD la

Good luck then.

thanks

I went to challenger mines they dont have many lcd monitor, u try at shop near celcom

Thanks for the suggestion about the issue I posted earlier.

I've tried reducing the contrast, indeed it helps with the brownish tone. However, it seems my monitor have the contrast set to 70 by default, even with brightness set to 100 already. Reducing it to 50 improves the color, but it looks dark. Its as if they increase the contrast to make it look brighter.

Check the auto light level all off. Looks like there's no way to further increase the brightness on this monitor. Now I leave the contrast at 60

Decided to get the U2412M and P2312H combo. A 16:10 and 16:9 delight. So i'm covered both ways if necessary. Haha .

Should be a problem right using 16:10 and 16:9 monitors side by side?

your dell i dont know but t240 around 700-800 depending on its age...i still using t240 after 3 years plus

I use a 5:4 - 16:9 - 5:4 combination at home

Oh u also using T240, last time i bought it around 1k. My Dell E196FP can sell 250 mah?

No wonder you mentioned that the movies / shows that you watch have weird aspect ratios

Nope. I do not span my monitors. They are extended, thus movies/software runs on one monitor without bothering the other. What I said about aspect ratios are modern movies usually are shot in 1.85:1 or 2.40:1 ratio. Thus it does not matter if you are using a 16:9 or a 16:10 monitor. they will still be black bars.

This would depend on the source , and of course how its encoded. Anymore further and this topic would become illegal if you know what i mean. Anyways, from my experience, bluerayR have been utilizing 100% of my old 16:9 1080p monitor, no black bars.

Btw, how do i treat the 2 monitors as separate monitors? I mean, the desktop would extend to the 2nd monitor as well, but when i maximize a window, lets say my browser, would it be maximized across the 2nd monitor as well? If it does, how do i stop it and all other applications from maximizing to the 2nd monitor?

By default windows uses extended mode. It means your monitor keeps each individual settings. What you are describing is expand mode, where multiple monitors are used as one large desktop. But you CAN'T use expand mode UNLESS you are using 3 exact same monitors (nVidia surround/ATi eyefinity).

Anyways on blu-ray movies, most of the ones I watched (from original blu ray disk mind you) are Anamorphic wide-screen, thus it's not 16:9

You can manually set the color for your monitor. Go to screen resolution --> Advanced settings --> Color Management
Click on "use my settings for this device"

Woohoo~ Just collected my first IPS panel - Dell U3011 which was purchased from Kelvin bro.

At first thought the Dell U3011 is indeed H-U-G-E. It took up both of my passengers seat in my car. Unpacking it was very exciting and easy. It took up almost 1/4 of my desk space. Setting it up along side with my MBP 13' make my MBP looks miniature. Too bad I can't test it right now as I'm lacking a miniDP to DisplayPort cable. Will set it up tonight and see the difference. I am expecting the color to be on par, or even better than the MBP display

So exciting right now even by just staring at its black matte surface. Sexy!

Looking forward to post my mini-review about it
