Which wide screen do you think is better?

Samsung 940W
http://www.samsung.com/ca/products/monitor...=Specifications

or LG 194WT
http://us.lge.com/products/model/detail/co...L194WT-SF.jhtml

The price is around the same, anyone can tell me the difference? Why LG can have 2000:1 contrast ratio compared to 500:1 of the Samsung one ?

Another day at PcFair yesterday and no 226BW in sight. ~.~
CompWar said they only brought 4 units to the fair and it was finished by the time I went there at 1pm+. doh.gif

Now I'm wondering whether to get the 226BW or the E228WFP instead. blink.gif Any diff between those two?

I just got a samsung 932b, but the problem is, the picture looks kinds of ugly in my windows. The icons are kinda blury as though the icons are stretched. The colour is really bright and the color doesn't seem very good.

I was wondering whether the problem is with my windows, GC, or lcd? Or maybe it is due to my surrounding? My house lighting is not very bright making viewing the lcd very straeneous.

Is there a program that I could use to set/optimise the setting? The default program that comes with the lcd doesn't seem to do much.

Maybe a 932b user could post their setting so I could try replicating it ans see if it helps?

Edit : I have set my resolution to the proposed resolution of 1280 x 1024 @ 60hz but still no difference.

Are you using DVI connection? I am using the + version of this monitor and everything seems nice to me. Are you using ClearType font?


Added on June 4, 2007, 12:14 amAdd - I didn't bother to tune the settings. I just use Dynamic Contrast and Magic Tune + DVI. So there is basically nothing that I can configure when these 3 are put together

The difference is not alot like I've reported earlier sad.gif. The colour remains terrible, a bright colour will be very bright whilst a dark colour is too dark.

But well, after getting used to it, I don't think it's that terrible anymore but the sad part is it's me getting used to the LCD not the other way round. I simply had to bear with it.

Using magictune's dynamic contrast is still not feasible or for the matter any of magictune's setting, it's simply too bright unless I wish to wear specs very soon and I really mean real soon.

The trouble now is in order for me to use internet explorer, I need to customise the brightness and contrast to a very very low level, current setting is brightness on 18 contrast 38. Dynamic contrast default setting is 100 and 80. With that setting, all the white background will really simply just "blind" me. It's really taxing to use the LCD at the moment. It's suppose to be the other way round >.<.

A question, is your surrounding very bright when you use the LCD?

Most probably your screen is faulty or there is some problem with your GC. Give those 2 a check. Perhaps you need to RMA your screen

Base on user experience, I strongly advice against 932B, it's the worst LCD I've come across so far, even every single office LCD that I've been to beat this, it practically score a zero in my rating test.

I really have zero idea why people recommend 932b.

Because people who are using it such as me find it to be a great LCD monitor, worth every cent paid for.

Yes, tested with my secondary PC, looks just as bad. I am now only considering the fact that my monitor is not calibrated properly or that it's defective, gonna bring back to shop for checkup again.

Seriously, I kinda lost confidence on samsung, I actually didn't want to get a samsung lcd but due to quite a number of people recommending it, not forgetting websites as well, I decided to go for it, thinking it couldn't go any real bad considering so many people love it, but now, I'm stuck with a bad LCD IMO.

All my colour is jumble up, this is most apparent in desktop and internet explorer.

In desktop, my icons are blur. In internet explorer, the "background white" is blinding me.

So the only feasible option was for me to lower the brightness and contrast to a very very low level. And my gamma too.

So, I am trying to get people to tell their settings or at least how to calibrate this LCD monitor to display the colour it should be.

So far, seems that most use the settings at default or magicbright and all isn't feasible to me, it's to bright, light colours appear too bright/light and dark colour appear too dark.

When I visit sites that test your monitor by displaying a set of shades of colours, it look terribly ugly to me. I don't know whether those sites are accurate or not as I have yet to get a good LCD running at those sites.

All I can say is it's frustrating to pay more for this 19" LCD and yet to me it seems much more inferior to others. It post 5ms but to me, in some video, I could really feel there is ghosting effect.

But well, this is my experience with it but it seems there is tons of many others who are having good experience with it so I may be exceptional, I don't know.

Well, no matter how effective their QC is, perhaps one or two units slipped through the QC and now one of them is with you.

Lol, like what you had say, a 932B+ have a world " Plus " that look something like this
" SyncMaster 932BPlus "
*
Now you can only get the + version.

Anyway, does anyone realize that the price of LCD has increased dramatically for samsung 732N and 932B ?
