Not sure if this is the right place to ask, have been having problem with my monitor, so decide to buy a new one. A 23" one, searched for dell and samsung, but the options are too many until my eyes blur..... Anyone of you have any opinion about which is more suitable for home use? budget of about 600.
Looking for 23" with a budget of RM600, then I would recommend IPS monitors such as Dell UltraSharp U2312HM or ASUS VS239N. nod.gif

Guys, my Samsung 932 monitor just died, some computer shop diagnosed that problem as faulty power supply.

What happens is each time I on the monitor, the display will show but only for 2 seconds, after that it will automatically turn off.

The shop guy said it will be too expensive to repair but I am not giving up, it's a nice monitor, so anyone knows where I can get it repaired? - need the power supply.
Argh, too late. I have faulty Samsung 932B+ sold off recently, the power supply OK but the problem is the screen. As for repairs, try asking your local TV repair guys (they should be able to troubleshoot and replace the faulty components). You can also look for LCD repairs at Trade Zone -> Garage Sales -> Display Cards & Monitors. Anyway, if you want I could try and see... tongue.gif

As for comparison with another IPS monitor such as the one from Dell, you will need to wait until someone has both monitors in hand and reviews it. Given the price, its very cheap and attractive for a quality budget monitor. rclxms.gif

Lots of 20" ones for RM350 and below. The only issue that you will faced with these monitors is that they are TN panels. Thus in portrait mode, the screen will shift from dark to bright more easily when moving your head (due to TN panel's poor viewing angles), unless you position it properly but still the screen brightness will vary. hmm.gif

Its not a "stain", but rather a "bubble" layer in the LCD panel itself. You could call them up and see if this can be sent for warranty. hmm.gif

Hello guys. I have a question. If like 20 - 22 inches monitor. The native resolution is full HD(1920x1080 reso). But some old lcd monitors dont have full HD. The second best after full HD is 1600x900 pixels right? wouldnt it look ugly to use 1600x900 gaming on a 22 inches monitor?
Nopes, next up is actually 1680x1050 for 22" widescreen monitors. Newer 21.5" widescreen monitors have 1920x1080 resolution. You'll find 1600x900 in 20" widescreen monitors. tongue.gif

QUOTE(intothefantasy @ Jun 12 2012, 03:15 PM)
yea i think will contact them regarding the warranty stuff...but do they give refurbish set as replacement?

and btw u2410 is kinda old now...is there any news that dell going to release another replacement for this model?
They may send you a new unit, or a refurbished unit of the same model. Depends on whether they have old stock or not. As for replacement with a different model, then that's up to their warranty department... unsure.gif

QUOTE(antoniov @ Jun 12 2012, 04:24 PM)
Erm. It's actually like this. I was asking about laptop monitors reso, 1366x768(HD+) would fit a 14 inches monitor nicely. While 1366x768 on a 15.6 inches monitor would look bad(the pixels are a bit too big tho, 1600x900 would look so much nicer on a 15.6 inches laptop monitor). If 1600x900 fit 15.6 inches monitor nice, i think a 20 inches monitor(which doesn't have full HD) would require a higher reso?
Are you using VGA connection? Then you may need to set graphic card timings to compensate for the out-of-proportion pixel aspect ratio. Sometimes due to unrecognized HSYNC, the display overflows (left and/or right borders extends beyond the screen area) or screen border shifted left/right beyond the screen area. wink.gif

Im not sure about you, but those professionals, they'll opt matte screen instead of glossy anytime of the day.
S-IPS = 16million colors, H-IPS = 1billion colors.
Dell comes with standard 3 / 5 years warranty.

And I don't like glossy screens too. The reflections can be highly distracting. It doesn't have to be overhead lights, any onject in the victinity that reflects or emits light will show up on the glossy surface. If you play games that have dark and/or nocturnal environments (e.g. at night, in a dark cavern, unlit hallways, etc) then the reflections will be more significant (ie. annoying). wink.gif

I don't think most people will and can "overclock" their LCD monitors. Most of the LCD monitors in the market are all "fixed" in terms of refresh rate and pixel clock frequency according to the LCD panel's factory specification (talking about the panel itself which also has its own driver/controller, a.k.a the "T-Con" board). wink.gif

QUOTE(881118 @ Jun 18 2012, 12:57 PM)
did u use smartphone screen protector be4?
there are clear type vs matte type
go take ur friends smartphone and compare
the matte type will give u little grainy dots that consisted of different color (i call it rainbow colors)
the clear type is self explained
I don't think those are fair comparisons since those smartphones have very small screens, the rainbow colors will only appear when there's dust/dirt and/or moisture (e.g. sweat, oily finger marks, etc) on the surface (ie. common occurance on portable and pocket devices like smartphones and handphones due to handling, usage and storage). There are no "rainbow effect" on most LCD monitors unless, as mentioned before, dust/dirt and/or moisture on the surface. Anyone can try that on their LCD monitors, take a wet cloth and wipe a small part of the monitor and the "rainbows" appears in the path of the cloth wipe. icon_idea.gif

Btw , who say cannot be overclock ?
http://wondercsabo.szunyi.com/PH/U2312_50_72.inf
Overclock? That's just forcing the refresh rate. The panel's rate of pixel update (which affects the GTG response) doesn't change at all, very much controlled by the panel driver itself (a.k.a the "T-Con" board). Even the speed of the LVDS communications between the main DScaler board and the T-Con board is always fixed. wink.gif

but he didn't mention about dust or dirt.
Using wet cloth , I think it's the same with glossy panel.Try wiping on ipad , it'll also produce some raindows effect ? Any picture showing those rainbow effect ?

I plan to buy an LCD not after I heard about it starting to get worry on Dell quality. sad.gif
That's implied, especially when he mentioned smartphones screens. Why do you need to worry so much about what he said. Do you currently have a LCD monitor? hmm.gif

hi, i need help in making the best decision in relate to purchasing a new LED/LCD monitor. My budget is less than RM900, Hence comes the question.  Purchasing a 32inch LCD at RM895 or a 23'-27'  LED/LCD monitor would be the best choice?
Thanks in advance.
Just beware that most of the cheap 32-inch LCD TVs are not true 1080p (ie. usually their resolution is 1366x768), thus the pixels will be coarse. If you want to look for LCD TV as monitor, make sure its true 1080p (ie. native resolution is 1920x1080) and NOT a TN panel type (ie. TN panels have bad viewing angles, not desirable with large screens). One simple test to determine this is too look from below (ie. TN panels becomes very dark when viewed from bottom angle). Watching movies would be great on large screens but not so great with gaming unless the LCD TV is of a certain distance away from where you are sitting. That's because on a large screen you will have to move your head often to cover the display area. hmm.gif

QUOTE(881118 @ Jun 20 2012, 08:20 PM)
my glossy screen does not has the same issue as yours
only minor blacklight bleed, which is exist in almost all monitor

and i am not sure it is a good example to compare a laptop screen to a monitor screen?
maybe u should try apple cinema 1st

i didnt mentioned any rainbow effect, or dust and dirt, or wiping water on screen
what i am saying is matte screen (u2312hm) has little grainy dots (random colors)
while glossy screen do not
maybe it is not obvious to u guys, but when i place both matte and glossy side by side, the difference is very big
I've worked on glossy screens (HP brand monitor) before in my previous office and its really bad. Reflections everywhere, even the stuff on my desk (like paper, pens, my tie clip, etc). The office overhead light reflections from the ceiling are the most annoying. Using matte and glossy side by side, the difference is obvious. For screen readability. glossy simply fails, unless the room is dark (no other light sources). Glossy for aesthetics suckers... rclxub.gif

QUOTE(881118 @ Jun 20 2012, 08:20 PM)
u can compare smartphone screen protector matte type vs clear type, i think it is a good example
Bad example again. Matte type screen protector layer would disperse the pixels on the previous LCD panel "layer" (ie. acts like thousands of mini/micro prisms), then of course it will show "rainbow colors". Its almost the same as a layer of moisture on top of a LCD panel (ie. wiping a wet cloth on top of the LCD panel). You can even try that (introducing moisture) on the glossy, and the rainbow colors will appear also. doh.gif

i use this monitor with my laptop so i know it is not my laptop that cause it..

so guys any ideas on how to fix this? it is like the fuses inside the monitor is blown or something happen.. i wana know is there any fuse inside i can replace?
Shut off all lights in the room, use a torchlight and shine it directly into the LCD screen. Can you see any images? By the way, its not a simple fuse replacement. If the main fuse was blown then there would no power at all. If the inverter fuse blown then there could be some problems in the inverter section (possible short and/or component failure). hmm.gif

hi lex, i believe there is no more power at all on the monitor as normally for samsung monitor there is a blinking blue light under the monitor. it happen so sudden,i was watching movie lastnite then it suddenly blackout.. plez advice..
Check the fuse in the main 3-pin plug if exist (usually very rarely spoil as this fuse is rated at 13A). Before this happened, were there other signs of monitor problems such as flickering, banding, reddish background (where its supposed to be white) and intermittent power issues (cannot switch on sometimes)? Besides the internal fuse, failures in other components such as power thermistor, capacitors, diodes and main switching MOSFET can lead to no power problems. The only way you can determine that is to open/disassemble the monitor and check the IP board (with some tools, such as a multimeter). hmm.gif

QUOTE(cherroy @ Aug 6 2012, 05:58 PM)
I managed to get one of old LCD fixed, that cannot be powered on, symptom quite similar, no blue light.

Throw it to the fixing shop, tell them if more than Rm100, just scrap the LCD.
2 days later, tell me total cost Rm80 or RM70 (can't remember), to replace a component (I believe it is fuse), and use it until now (almost 2 years).
Just RM70 to RM80 to fix a fuse is rather expensive. I've fix those type of problems before myself (and for friends and other people) and costs less (which includes the cost of other failed components). tongue.gif

Could it be the cable connector that connect the lcd monitor to d wall socket? I dub any xtra cable to test unfortunately..dem
If the backlight becomes dimmer then usually either the inverter side and/or SMPS side could not sufficiently supply the required power. Just for your information, the fuses on the IP board are usually the soldered type and unlike the usual removeable power fuse cartridge type. As for the power cable, you can simply swap with your PC's since they are essentially the same type... wink.gif

Hi guys, I just bought a Viewsonic VX2336S IPS monitor. After an hour using it I notice a big flaw: the left half of the monitor has slight yellow tint while the right half is perfectly fine.

I opened a white window, move it to the left and it it obvious having a slight yellow tint.

Is there anything I can do other than sending back to warranty? It's not a big deal but kinda annoying when I notice it...
Sounds like a weak CCFL or inverter (usually when degrade will turn from white to yellow then to reddish). You could try warranty and/or 1-to-1 exchange method (since its brand new just "out of the box") and see if the shop will entertain your request... hmm.gif
