Hello Guys,

Im quite new in using LCD, Till now still using a Samsung CRT monitor.

Im Planning in getting a LCD display panel early next year with budget arround 1k

Need you sifu's suggestion on what model that is suitable. Ive browse through on the forum and found out so many option with TN, S-PVA,HDMI support and so on. Kinda blur a bit. Can someone elaborate more?

My rig is white so hoping for a white LCD display or even grey if can la..

really appriciate your help. Thanks in advance

Hi guys, I'm so used to the screen filter on my CRT. Just wondering any LCD screen filters would actually do any good.

I switched to a LG L194WT few days ago and set the colour temp to 6000k for better colour tones on pictures. Its very glaring even though I have set the brightness to 0. Anyone has a better solution on it?

Use a convertor to convert the 2 audio jack in to a jack that is compatible to your sound card/speaker inputs.

Or else you can use a fiber optics for audio (what I did).


EDIT
---------------------
For 1k budget you probably do not to worry about input options as most of LCDs with more input options are above the 1.3k mark. And I think you mean HDCP, not HDMI (HDMI is another form of input, which is technically higher in grade than component)

White LCD Frame, hmm I think a Samsung monitor (forgot which model already, is totally in white, would look very nice )

For technical terms of what is S-PVA, TN, HDCP and all, you can always go to wikipedia and search Been explained so many times in the previous LCD Topic that abit lazy to retype all those info again

Go here --> (http://www.wikipedia.org/)

A screen filter for CRT is actually to reduce glare and some form of radiation. Since LCD does not have radiation at all, so having a filter in front of an LCD would help abit in reducing glare, which is the problem you're having right now. In fact some LCD like Dell has anti-glare coating to counter this problem, I guess the LG L194WT doesnt have anti-glare coating then

EDIT2 - Suprisingly the tech specs for the LG L194WT does have AntiGlare as coating, oh well give the filter a try. You can try putting the old CRT filter above the LCD on one portion to see if the difference would help or not

then go find a 19" monitor that suits your contrast ratio lor. what i mean is that i'd rather use the same $$$$ to get a 19" instead of 17", regardless of how low is the MS for that 17".

but pricey leh... i think around RM900++

I see some 30" plasma's going for 2999 now
Wonder if it is usable to play WoW on it or not

if u wan d higher contrast ratio then go 4 LG wif >1000:1

pc fair at klcc

i suppose... LG's high high contrast ratio lcd... somewhat ends up many users complaining on tooooooo bright... bright tillllllll hurting thier eyes... eventhough they already set the brightness to 0 ... also bright like hell...

The contrast ratio depends on user preference and environment lighting condition.. if you're planning on using in a bright lighting room then the contrast ratio will play its part

else if you using the LCD in a dark room (no lighting) then if the contrast too high sure burn ur eyes lo..

im using LG n yes, it's veli bright..
but it's good 4 gaming or watching movie

i hunted for LCD monitors for past months so i know the price of 19" monitors. have you even bother to check out 19" that's around RM 700+ ?

Anyone here using LG L1750T?
I accidentally changed the preset value for color temperature(&some options) in service menu, now the color looks kinda weird to me... L1750T users & Sifu-sifu here please help.
Please post up the default value for all options in the service menu.

Or how can I reset them to the default value?
Thanks.
