thinking of getting a second monitor for my desktop..

Any forumer use this LCD 19" Fujitsu LM1930W monitor b4? How is the performance of this monitor?

Both Dell and LG should be fine. Dell's screen are mostly LG IPS panels

Set the preset modes to "cool" then set the brightness and contrast that fit your eyes.

FUH ! Set to preset modes ??

That is TOO BLUEISH !

Come on just use custom RGB tweak until the white becomes real white color instead of tend to brown/blue

I finally got the LG IPS236V-PN but haven't tried it out because the seller sealed it in a box.

I wanted to get the Dell's U2312HM but this LG was sold to me at RM 450 for a month old usage. 3 years warranty.

The price was difficult to resist. Can't wait to try out tonight.

+1
HP also using LG panel.
White can be seen as white, unlike Samsung, AOC etc...

Nice, definitely hard to resist at such cheap price.

My 2311h Rm500 only and its perfect condition

He! He! After reading this... I kinda syiok sendiri.
Wanna ask...
If I put up 2 monitors...
When I play game, a fullscreen game, can the other monitor used as doing other thing like surfing and etc?
Coz, then, my old monitor can be utilised. He! He! He!...

For such setup, will it drain the CPU usage? I mean if I built a new rig, i5 2500k, SSD, 8GB ram, GTX 560 Ti GC...
Playing some online game, will it make the whole system too slow or someting? Thanks.
And by the way, the LG IPS236V-PN, can it be wall mounted or I need the orignal stand no matter how...

The IPS236V-PN supports VESA mounting, which means you can mount it to a wall.

Anyway, you can use your extra monitor to display other things on your desktop and et cetera. However, from my experience if you want to access the other screen you will have to alt-tab out of the game first if it's in full screen mode, which is pretty much pointless since it minimizes the game, unless you run your game(s) under windowed mode.

Performance wise it shouldn't be affected significantly unless the game is extended or stretched across to the other screen.

Ohhhhhh...
So, when I alt+tab, that game will be minimise instead?
Was hoping that at 1 monitor, I can surf, MSN, LYN...
Another one the game is still running.
So, let's say an online game, I am farming, I can let it run while I surf on the other one.

So, what you are saying now is... if I ALT+TAB, that game will be minimised eventhough I am working on another monitor but I cant see the game running?

It will be like that unless you set your game to run in windowed mode.

Well even in windowed mode you still need to ALT+TAB out of it and the game will still be stalled. However, you would still see the game on screen instead of it minimized to the taskbar.

If you want full independent control, you will still need a second pc hooked up a it. A laptop/netbook would do. You can switch the second monitor back to the main pc when you are done.

Judging from his posts he just want to be able to see the game he's running while browsing through the net and et cetera from the other, so windowed mode for his game(s) will do fine. And well, games don't generally "stall" unless you pause them via the menu or something, or are you referring to the stall where he won't be able to do anything on the game other than watch?

Ya... that is what I want.
But running on Window mode is a bit "haiz"....

Please update me with the review.

What sort of review you are looking for?

I'm just a casual user, not a gamer.
Bought this for my entertainment and photos editing. Those are my hobbies.

Mind sharing your custom RGB settings? might be i using too long of cool preset, tried set with custom RGB, but feel too warm for my eyes.

same la.... when i use the default sometimes my eye might get teary~

and i kinda like the blueish look compare with other preset

Is it nice? Clear? Awesome ? Look better than U2312HM?

Very plain and huge bezel width.
I would expect the price is higher than Dell offering, but with WLED, wonder if it really can pulls out those specifications stated.
Need some reviews...
