QUOTE(pky @ Apr 8 2007, 12:08 AM) Would like to ask if i should go for a LCD monitor or a LCD TV to be hooked to my PC. Will be using the display for downloaded HK-dramas and movies. No gaming. Since a 32' LCD TV has only 1366x768 resolution, i assume it won't put much burden to graphic card compare to a 22' LCD monitor with higher resolution right? LCD TV are more expensive than LCD Monitor Yeah, the low resolution will not tax your GC capability but it will burned a hole in your pocket. You can buy around 3 (22") LCD Monitor for the money of 1 (32") LCD TV

QUOTE(toshio14 @ Apr 8 2007, 02:58 AM) hi all, newbie here just get my samsung 932b plus last week..want to know what the difference between using analog and dvi cable? if i want to use the dvi cable, should i plug in the analog cable also? i tried to plug in the dvi cable only, and it showing "check analog signal" or something like that la thanks all.. Analog support AGP 8x Graphic Card, DVI are meant for PCI-E Graphic Card. If you are using AGP 8x GC there, use the Analog slot, else use the other slot

QUOTE(clawhammer @ May 12 2008, 01:59 AM) Anyone knows what is a good 27" LCD to buy these days? I don't seem to see LG/Samsung in most of the price list. Recently, i came across 27" LCD monitor review. It comes with an extra 7" inch display separately. The bad news, i can't remember the brand

QUOTE(zeustronic @ May 23 2008, 08:07 AM) LG & Samsung both are good & very close competition, but for me HP is out coz onli run on 1st is VGA & HDMI no DVI & 2nd Crystal Bright Display with annoying relection. The only thing is the design  . Also, a slight 'humming' sound coming from the back of the monitor. You need to face its back, then you can hear it. This problem also exist on their 24" model. Other models does not have that annoying sound. -1 there for HP

Reviewers can either be biased or non-biased. The reason i don't think CNET review is "constructive" because they are not that comprehensive. If you want a good one, just browse the net for better one. Here is one example which are better than your and i never said it constructive but it more SPECIFIC while being INFORMATIVE than yours. Hey, atleast it comes with pictures as well CHECK IT OUT NOOBTARD

Our eyes are slightly smaller at 05:23 AM  Added on June 12, 2008, 11:21 pmQUOTE(s[H�) sIkuA,Jun 12 2008, 05:05 PM] Btw, in Penang really hard to find 24" LCD  It is due to current pricing. The most affordable size is 22" for now. Let the LCD monitor plunge further, we will see more 24" incher displayed at most PC shops in Penang soon This post has been edited by Thunderbolt: Jun 12 2008, 11:21 PM

QUOTE(fujkenasai @ Jun 14 2008, 12:10 PM) Which 1 whould you recomend your samsung orthe ASUS, do we really need a HDMI port, or DVI is just as good for a PC usage? Well, in my opinion the Asus design are not so nice compared to Samsung's glossy finish, if you are into the look type. While HDMI is an extra feature but it is not really any important unless you are planning to connect the console like PS3 on your LCD monitor. If you really do, you can get DVI -> HDMI cable for around RM50, connect your PS3 console through this cable on DVI port. You can then connect your PC through VGA port. Many people think by using VGA port, we will experienced quality. It is not true, i have used both ports and the quality remains the same. But if you wanted to connect both consoles like Xbox360 and PS3 to your PC, you will need all 3 ports. Xbox360: VGA, PC: DVI, PS3: HDMI That Asus model also comes with 2x USB port and additional speaker/mic slot on the back of the monitor. Our mobo already comes with so many USB port, it is really just an extras.

QUOTE(zeustronic @ Jun 14 2008, 10:28 PM) Theres no USB port for Asus VK222H. its onli USB port A to B is for webcam. You told me that day, yet i forgot about it  Added on June 14, 2008, 11:20 pmQUOTE(slash @ Jun 14 2008, 10:34 PM) Dell SP2208WFP, HP w2207h, Viewsonic vx2235wm-5, samsung 2232gw, LG 2252TQ. Which among them would u recommend? Choose between these 2: Samsung 2253BW & ViewSonic VX2235wm-5 Unless that Dell model is Ultrasharp series, then go for it. HP new models have noisy sound coming back of the LCD. The LED light are impressive but it doesn't give good point of being noisy at night. Other brands model are all quite and silent This post has been edited by Thunderbolt: Jun 14 2008, 11:20 PM
