Yup they aren't full HD yet because their native resolution aren't 1080p but they do are higher than 720p. Viewsonic actually published their VX2235wm as the 22" HD LCD Monitor on their box.

I would have to agree with you that ChiMei panels are quite good for the price you're paying.

actually 720i or 720p is already HD quality content

DVD contect is only 480i

what it means by (6bit+FRC)

u can come to my room to test 940bw.but i only using 9200se, so can't test the lcd in gaming la..

the samsung is better than the lg between this 2, because the lg colors is slightly off than normal.

but lg is brighter, some hate it,some love it.

tough call really

anyone using viewsonic vg1912 widescreen lcd here? i'm thinking of buying that for my mom's pc coz its quite cheap (rm685) only but not really sure if the quality is good or not

Well agreed. 720i/p are considered lower end of HD. Thats why we see some brands displaying 1080p as full/true HD. Anyway it doesn't mean anything if you still have a small screen. But I do have to say that 720 is quite good already compared to the DVD content at 480i/p which is considered standard definition.

Hey there,

6bit + FRC is actually how many colors the panel can reproduce. Usually you see 6bit common panels with the ability to only produce 16.2milion colors which isn't enough for really accurate color reproduction. 8bit panels are much better at this job that could display more than 16.7milion colors. However, 8bit panels could be a little slower in the pixel response when compared to a 6bit panel.

So what the engineers did is to add dithering to a 6bit panel to 'add' or 'artificially' create more colors just like a 8bit panel. Of course it is still cannot be compared to a real 8bit panel but modern dithering techniques have come a long way so they are quite close but still have room for improvement.

So 6bit + FRC is something like a 6+2bit panel in which the first number 6 is the real specification while the second one is meant for dithering accuracy.

so which one better? samsung OR LG? wide screen or normal 1?

Thanks crazybear and davidmak for your help. Was so blur before this. Definitely gotta get a DVI cable next.

OK guys, need a little advice.

Initial plan was to get a Dell 24" but since dual monitor gaming will be an option soon...like Supreme Commander....was thinkin of getting 2 X Dell 20" wide instead....what say u guys?

guys i got problem with dvi cable...
IM having samsung 940bw ...and currently im using analog cable..
i tried the dvi cable and it doesn't produce screen after the the windows xp booting time, my graphic card has the dvi connector... how now?

Dear all,

I'm planning on getting the Dell 24" WS.

Anything that i should be aware of regarding the LCD?

What Rev 06A or something lidat that u guys are talking about eh?

If the port is mentioned as DVI-D (Dual Link), means have to connect TWO DVI connectors to my graphics card then only can operate...right?


Thank you for all your feedback =)

1st make sure u get the latest revision.. rev 04 or at least rev 03
i knw one of the 'addition' in the rev 04 is 1:1 mapping for 1600*1200 res.. meaning the res wont b strectched to full screen..
dunno bout the rest though..

2nd after u buy, go to this site n do wat they tel u :-

hey guys, i read all about samsung 205bw and viewsonic vx2235, i need the final 2 cents from you guys before i decide to buy later @@
my purpose is for 60% browsing, 20% movie, 20% gaming, and will be using this unit to pair dual monitor with my 17' benq lcd

i dont quite get your instruction...issit from the CD?

I am new here... I'm looking forward in getting a new lcd monitor but dunno which brand is better and i dunno about the resolution and widescreen you guys are talking about so maybe ur advice will help in getting a perfect 1... my budget is around 600... thanks in advance...

What he meant is this. Usually a LCD monitor that supports VGA and DVI-D segregate the them in two input channels. One for VGA and the other for DVI-D. So all you need to do is just select the correct channel on the LCD itself. Usually it is accessible by a button or via the on-screen menu. Please check your manual for the instructions.

If you have already selected the correct channel and still no picture is displayed, the you have to check the driver settings. Common graphic cards support duo display via a VGA analog output and a DVI-I output. Check your graphic settings which output port it is using. This is usually auto-detected at start-up but some issues could prevent it from happening. If selecting the correct output isn't helping, then try upgrading the display driver.
