Hello all. I'm planning to get a 30" or 32" LCD monitor for my pc. My question is, will a 32" LCD TV or 30" LCD Monitor look better? As far as I know, 32" LCD TVs can only support up to a resolution of 1366 x 768 while 30" LCD Monitors can have up to 2560 x 1600. Besides, most LCD TVs do not have DVI input. Does this mean LCD monitors will look nicer?

if you compare a 32" LCD TV and a 30" LCD Monitor,

first of all you can see that the monitor cost twice as much, secondly the monitor has a ridiculously high resolution, which if you don't have a 8800ultra, don't dream of playing on the native resolution..

if you want to use the monitor for gaming, and u want a big screen, I suggest getting a LCD TV,

if you want to use for CAD/gfx design, then I suggest you get the monitor...

Note that your comparison in terms of price is totally out of range of this 2....

you should compare a 32" LCD TV with a 24"/27" LCD monitor...

Thanks for your reply dude. I forgot to mention that actually my aunt is planning to get the monitor, and she hasn't given me any budget. She just wants something that's around 30" and has the best quality, and she won't mind paying more for that. That's why now I'm scouting for the 30s LCD Monitors and 32s TVs. Lets say I do get a 8800ultra, does that mean the LCD monitor would look nicer with the higher resolution and all?

I am using DELL E288WFP. I just noticed today that there was an ant running inside my LCD panel Anyone faces the same problem?

Ants?Still alive?

I think you better call Dell and ask them to rectify the problem there...

It's not DELL's fault. I've been using the monitor for quite sometimes already. The ant is still alive and fortunately it went away I guess most likely its the design flaw whereby they did not seal the LCD panel tight to prevent ants from crawling into the panel. Never faced such problem with my old samsung 172x.

Where can I find my service tag code for DELL E228WFP LCD Monitor?

There are no service tag for LCD monitors bought separately with system.

If that is so, how do we report a problem or make a warranty claim with DELL?

They track your warranty status via your unit's serial number.

jz bought a benq 20"
cis, got 1 stuck pixel...used the unstuck pixel program but cant work...

hw could i missed that blardy dead pixel at the shop...sad..

any help? tried rubbing also no use...

OMG...Thats horrible. So did the ant still stay inside the screen or gone out already?

You sure its dead or stuck pixel?. If stuck pixel, it may gone after a while, but if don't, you have to live with it lah.

How can spot 1 dead pixel so easily? If you buy Dell LCD, you may get exchange or return it.

the stuck pixel is green...
when the background is green, or white. it is obvious...
other color not so obvious...

Gone out already. But I think he'll be back

For me, green color is quite noticeable on the screen. Keep on try using some stuck pixel fix software to clear it.

Wahh, why the ant will come back again? You put sweets on your computer table?

stuck pixel fix software? can u recommend any?

Try JScreenFix.

Wow...Hopefully mine wont be too bad. LOL...If they really die inside, would you think Dell would do anything?Warranty perhaps?

There is actually a serial number at the back. Just call them, tell them your problem and they will ask for the serial number..

Good day everybody, still new in this thread. anybody know where can buy screen protector for my DELL E228WFP LCD Monitor?

Screen protectors?You mean those stick-on ones like for handphones?

I have asked some shops before, but they don't sell such screen protector for LCD screen. You can clean the screen by using some screen cleaning liquid and wipe it with soft cloth if the screen is dirty or got many fingerprints on it.
