QUOTE(ericling @ Sep 13 2018, 09:51 AM) Hi all, I have used Viewsonic for years and I think it is well established. My old 17inch is still working well, and currently using VA2719-SH as main monitor for work and games.I am looking for a budget FullHD IPS monitor for my desktop. I have narrowed all my options to two: a) LG 22MK430H-B (RM349) b) Viewsonic VA2419-sh (RM419) Anyone has experience with either of these two monitors? Viewsonic is RM70 more expensive while being bigger screen but I am not too concerned about screen size. Having compared the tech specs of these two, they are very similar, therefore I am more concerned about the out-of-factory screen calibration, reliability and warranty. At the moment I perceive LG to have better quality but I am not too sure, so I am here to get advises from the experienced ones. Which option would you go for? Thanks in advance! |

Hi Sifus,
Need help on my rig build. [B][RM1500] [Purpose] Office use i.e. Mic. Word, Access database, AI Software, adobe photoshop. Home Use: watching movies, [Hardwares that will be re-use] TV [Monitor resolution] 1080x1980 [Games & softwares that use frequently] Light gaming i.e. Nox emulator android games, dota 2, diablo 3 [Personal preferences] Using CPU i3 8100 (because for future planning to play shooting games). Wont be needing GPU now but maybe later when got budget, will utilise the integrated graphic for light gaming. But not sure if AI photo editing need GPU. [Location] JB I do appreciate if can get much cheaper option but still able to perform above. I want to upgrade step by step but still prioritize on my need i.e. quick fast booting PC. Storage is my second priority. This post has been edited by benyolo: Sep 14 2018, 04:44 PM |
