For your information and those who didnt know..

Those lcd monitors esp. LG likes to state their monitor with high contrast numbers, but if u check it properly those 10000:1 its dynamic contrast, not typical contrast.

If im not wrong, Dynamic contrast its the software and not hardware, wherelse Typical contrast its the real deal, hardware wise.

So in other words, imo the "Dynamic" contrast basically juz a marketting gimmick.

Heres a short summary:-
"One of the latest tricks manufactures did was to introduce Dynamic Contrast. So instead of measuring the difference between the whitest white and the blackest black displayed on the screen at the same time, they display white and black on the screen one at a time and then measure the difference."

If not mistaken, basically for Dynamic contrast will have less accurate colors, wherelse Typical contrast has more accurate colors.

Basically, im trying to say its.. dun juz get a lcd monitor juz bcoz it has high dynamic contrast are.. best its to check out the real thing or at least checks the user reviews online.

Even a optical engineer says that human eyes can't detect more than 1000:1 contrast ratio.. lol

Cheers

If not mistaken, other than "black dot", meaning u have a "bright dot" which its a stucked pixel.

Do try to massage/rub it with a non-static cloth gently for 30seconds.

Yeap!

Arrggh.. i can't decided whether to wait a for BenQ V2400w or juz get BenQ G2400w only... heh

Afaik, the specs of V2400w same as G2400w rite?.. can anyone confirm this?..

Cheers

Depends with Samsung model u want to compare with... imo it can't be worse than Samsung.

Chimei its pretty good, esp. with its connectivity and its price.

The only setback of Chimei i can think of its 1-year warranty only (correct me if im wrong), and not too sure how good its their service centre / customer service, i guess thats one of the reason its cheaper as other brands like Philips, Viewsonic and etc. has 3-years warranty and some even includes "zero dot warranty" and etc.

Wasted locally, Chimei doesnt have 24inch tho.

Cheers

I think the the frame its glossy only, not the lcd screen itself.. if im not mistaken...

Cheers

w00t!, juz recently gotten my BenQ G2400W. First impression i do like it 'low-profile' all black look

Even tho its TN panel, it looks great, as i have P-MVA panel lcd monitor too. The viewing angles looks really good, surprising it looks better than my P-MVA lcd monitor, or mabbe juz me

As most reviews oredi mentioned, this BenQ G2400W oredi looks well calibrated with this factory settings.

Tested watching 'Full-HD' (1920res) movie, oh man.. it looks awesome , looks dam clear yet no ghosting or flickering.

On games, so far i tested TeamFortress2, RainbowSix:Vegas2 and TitanQuest:ImmortalThrone, it looks great and sharp at 1920x1200res, and i was kinda suprised my "low-mid rig" can run those games smoothly

The only thing i haven't tested yet its the HDMI, as i don't have any players that uses it.

All and all i like it very much

Heh.. yea... but it depends how lit up yer room are... if like office, it certainly distracting.. lol

Well, i vote for HP w2207 it looks great, and i read most of the reviews pretty much recommend it.

Unless, ur not into glossy screen...

Cheers

Imo, anything 8ms and less response time, u won't noticed the difference.

Cheers

At times it depends on the monitor.. but in theory shld be same.

And the only differences between HDMI and DVI other than picture quality wise, its that the HDMI carries sound as well, for those who didnt know

Cheers

Well, imo all Viewsonic VX series are pretty much recommended (esp. for its price = performance) and if not mistaken all VX series has 'zero dot warranty' for 3-years

Afaik, Dell its the only brand has that size locally, the next closest its Viewsonic 28inch which pretty much recommended (multiple awards), not surprise anywayz.. lol

Imo, theres one setback abt Dell 2707wfp which its Pixel Pitch of 0.303mm.. and not to mentioned its on 27inch screen... it will looks less sharp compared to a 24inch which normally has Pixel Pitch of 0.27mm.

Cheers

Old games doesnt really count, as nowadays and future games will be supporting widescreen format.

Where did hear that from? abt gfx card cannot support widescreen?...

Im using my 7+ years old gfx card on my 20inch widescreen running at 1680x1050res

Definately widescreen, as u'll have more 'viewing' space, and esp. nowadays all games supports widescreen resolution, once u get it, welcome to future gaming.. heh

As u can see below, more "FOV" (field of view).


Imo, HDMI its important for those future use like use it for next-gen console like PS3, Xbox360, etc. and Blu-Ray player, which those supports HDMI interface natively.

Cheers

Of course i know HDMI carried sound as i mentioned a few post back but that doesnt tells (for those ppl doesnt know) normally what HDMI use for?..Anywayz, it matters if ur getting or thinking getting wares like x360, ps3, blu-ray player, more future proof.

Shhesshh... and maybe u may not know its expensive to get those convertor from hdmi to dvi, u know?.. thats why ppl prefer getting with it, get it?..

And another thing u might not know its that some monitors do carried sound thru hdmi.

Cheers

In lcd monitor, dun bother abt refreshrate, it basically doesnt matter unlike those crt monitor.

Cheers

Are u so certain abt that bold statement?.. as i heard and read in forums that alot ppl having "no display / black screen" when using a (esp. older) lcd monitor that mostly doesnt have HDCP on their PS3 and Blu-Ray players.

Cheers

How many stuck-pixel(s) u have there?... anywayz, u can try 'gently rub on the stuck-pixel in circular move using soft-non-lint cloth or better yet those microfibre cloth for lcd monitors, of course do this while the lcd monitor its on.. lol

It works most of the times.

Cheers

Yes, it very well recommended as in seen the online reviews that i seen so far.

If not mistaken, Viewsonic's VX series offer "zero dot warranty" for 3years, which its great for value, and worry free

Cheers

Meaning, any dead or stucked pixels can claim warranty unlike others Samsung/LG/AOC and which u need at least 5-pixels or more... wherelse "zero dot warranty".. 1-pixel oso can claim warranty.

Err.. understand?.. pardon for my cacated "england".. hahaha

Cheers

Well, im not to sure abt prices hiking, but ur referring to LCDTV price which isnt the same compared to LCDmonitor like resolutions and etc.

Its more "sharper" if u get a 20" since the screen size its smaller, its juz 640x480res and u enlarge it to 1024x768res, sure the pixel looks bigger.

I mentioned this quite alot times oredi, dun judge by its specs (especially Dynamic Contrast, which its a juz marketing tool), go and see for yerself or u can juz google reviews online for it.

Cheers

in LowYatPlaza, Viewnet selling it
