guys i'm thinking of getting LG L194WT lcd monitor for 360 & pc gaming. any comments?

i just bought a 194WT...the picture sharpness is great so u dont need to set the contrast and brightness to very high....i set contrast to 50 and brightness to 40...about games and movie...great too....  

940bw that worst arr?my bro using it..i see quite ok as i dont know much about lcd specs..any idea current price for viewsonic vx2025wm?it looks nice

wahh dun scare me, 940BW that bad meh ??? i was planning to get it ..

Totally agreed. The DNie engine is something like a colour reproduction optimizer which tries to reproduce more natural colours and boost contrast ratio. Sadly this usually adds unwanted components to the reproduction itself like loss of detail and unnatural colours. For a LCD to have a real high contrast ratio, the brightness itself have to be of sufficient number too, so expecting a panel with 300cdm2 to perform more than 1500:1 sounds too good to be true.

I have an old Viewsonic VE710b-2 which have a declared brightness of 300cdm2 but in actual fact it is much brighter compared to other panels to a point of uncomfortable to the eyes. The brightness levels in their respective menu were pushed all the way to maximum but the Viewsonic seems much brighter and the contrast were better. Of course, on regular usage the brightness have to be tuned down to a comfortable level.

So it is best to go see for yourself and make comparisons of your own. Some shops might not have all the models on display so shop around till you see all the models in your consideration.

U wont notice it unless u have a few LCDs around to compare them. Eventhough it's not a very good LCD, but i dun think it's a very bad purchase. Just the right thing for cheap desktop computing.
If u are the one very picky about quality, i suggest u look elsewhere. Perhaps increase ur budget. I can't recommend any models though as i have cease using my monitors.
Those 'engines' are made to SELL the sets in showroom condition. Even though their SPVA panels are very good, but it's not the obvious reason the buyer would want. Enter the DNie. Obviously the brightest and most saturared color ones will catch the viewer's attention. That is the single reason y the DNIe is so heavenly spec'd.

y dun u change both

Change again would be great, but I am afraid they might give me a refrubish unit if I change again, besides dell policy is 5-6 dead pixel, but I only notice 3 or so. I guess they wouldn't change for me even though I request.

Hi ksl279, how much u got it?
