Anyone using this LCD... Acer AL2216W (22" Widescreen)
Interested in getting one, owner please share your experience

normally LCD can tahan how many years??

Excpected life time 60000 hours.

But practical usage I guess it will be more or less 5 years and more (maybe, correct me if I'm wrong).

hey lonewolf...sorry didnt see the abv thread....in answer to ur question, sorry i dont know, im still reading up myself on tft panels lol...btw good thread on the TFT Technology Panel Guide thx

guys, i'm currently using the old benq FP531 lcd...but my buttons got problem and for no reason, the lcd will turn off by itself...

is this problem fixable? and which brand and model of lcd would u recommend me? i use my lcd mainly for designing, movie and little bit of gaming...and will prefer a 19 inch...budget is roughly rm700-800..and i prefer not to have a widescreen...as it will stretch the image...(unless there's one that doesn't)

Can anybody enlighten me. Im goin to buy a lcd monitor. Rite now i have 2 model in mind VX2235wm and VX2025wm. Ive been checking in many forum that say VX2025wm are better then VX2235wm. They say VX2025wm colours are better. But i cant resist the 22inch big. Which 1 should i buy?

size does matter....

Dear Luzcrifier,

What you found on the forums are quite true. The Viewsonic VX2025wm does use a better quality panel compared to the VX2235wm. In fact it uses a full 8bit panel which makes better colour reproduction. The VX2235wm uses only a 6bit + 2bit dithering which makes colour reproduction slightly less accurate than the former. The difference might not be big if you're just a regular user. The reason I state this is that modern dithering method has gained much improvements so the gap is closing. Also 6bit panels enables slightly better pixel response.

I'm currently using the Viewsonic VX2235wm and I'm very satisfied with its performance, at least in my area of application. Believe me that 22" of desktop space does open a lot more multitasking possibilities especially if you're coming from a smaller monitor. It has the same resolution as the 20" LCD but the extra 2" make reading text an easier task. Video reproductions are good and PC gaming is superb. You do need a higher-end graphic card to run at the native resolution (1680x1050) in order to see the real thing. Of course you could run at lower resolutions, just remember to maintain 16:10 aspect ratio. Running this panel with XBOX360 will result in washed out colours but I think this is another issue with the XBOX360.

Also remember that the VX2235wm do not have DVI-HDCP just like the Acer AL2216w. The VX2025wm also don't have HDCP, unless you go the Samsung way. Again you need to maintain a HDCP compliant graphic card as well. But again, HDCP isn't the thing yet. Right now, the PC industry is going HDCP over the DVI interface while the AV industry prefers the HDMI. But in the future, DisplayPort is going to replace DVI so it will never end. So HDCP or not is up to you if you plan to still use the panel few years from now in which DisplayPort could be taking over.

Samsung do have a 20" panel 205BW, which is comparable with VX2025wm in quality. There's a 22" Samsung panel and a Dell brand coming around the corner, so I suggest you wait a little more.

Hope this helps.

guys...
anyone here using Dell's monitor?
i'm considering on getting a normal square shape monitor vs. widescreen monitor...

any inputs here?

basically for widescreen, i'm just afraid there might be some problems later on if i'm playing games that does not support widescreen format...
any other problems?

anyone saw the new samsung LCD 732 and 932 model ? and got the specs?

erm. i am going to buy LCD monitor in the future. i want to ask what is the best and cheap LCD we can get now? i am looking the size around 17inch and 19 inch.

any idea how much Viewsonic VX2235wm cost?

Hmmmm, I'm still deciding on whether to get 2 x 2007WFP straight or 1 x 2407WFP and then get another 1 x 2407WFP a couple of months later.

wat bout a setup of ... 2x 2007wfp (pivot-vertical) & 1x 30" incher.. late in future..

That's a good idea. 2007WFP will suffice till then.

any suggestion wif the 19" lcd monitor?which brand is better?what model?

budget?..and mainly use for what?...need widescreen?..
