too big lar 22"... afraid I wouldn't be able to fully utilize my gc to play games later on due to increased resolution...



Eh... wait a minute... 20" and 22" are using the same resolution rite?? Is that mean there is no performance hit in-game between 20" and 22"??

Yes, both of them uses the same native resolution.

LOL..the 22" Dell LCD is going on promotion now for only RM899. You are off by RM99 for now.Save more..Do check out their website..

Yea, no diffs in resolution for 20" and 22"..

But for those "picky" ppl, it might annoyed them since 20" and 22" has same resolution, meaning 22" pixels will look "bigger"... meaning not as sharp as 20" due screen size, if u know what i mean..

Juz my 0.01sen

Cheers

Ahha... I have posted several question regarding the offer here in both Widescreen and LCD thread... but no one answered. So I guess it is either 1) No one knows the answer... 2) The LCD is actually a bad choice

Why dun I ask again here..:

Dell LCD Offer

Based on the website... there are two model that gets my attention:

DELL E207WFP 20" Entry Widescreen - RM799

and,

DELL E228WFP 22" Entry Widescreen - RM899


1. Is this both model a good choice. After wandering in the land of Google a few days... I found out both are TN panels. Unfortunately I know nothing of this TN, I-PVS and whatever panel. Anyone can enlighten me?? Is this a good buy??

2. How to buy online without credit card arr??? Can do online transfer through maybank2u arr?? Anyone did it before??

Ahha.. this is definitely the thing I have been wondering too... so 22" isn't as sharp as 20"?? Anyone with 22" LCD wide can clarify this to me??

Well, i just purchased it and arrives last thursday. Too bad its in my hometown or else i could test it for you..(wait, i got no GC to test as well..LOL)..Anyway, comments from my cousin was (yes, we bought 2 together), the LCD is great. Nice vibrant color and a great shock to jump from a 17" CRT. Color might not be as good as those on the Samsung but it is a worthit buy for RM899. And we got a free webcam as well..LOL..

If i were you, and i could afford another RM100, just go and get the 22". I dont think you will regret anyway...

Hemm regarding the 22" isn't as sharp as 20".. just imagine like that.. same amount of pixel in 20" and 22", which one will look nicer?

erm.. or imagine like this.. u put the same amount of sand in 2 plates, one is bigger and one is smaller.. for the smaller plate one, the distance between the sand will be closer than the bigger plate one rite? i imagine like that lo.. but not sure whether it's the same story for 20" and 22" with same rev..

Added on May 27, 2007, 9:25 pmoh.. or maybe the pixel is 'bigger' in 22" and smaller in 20".. so smaller pixel, for the edge it'll look sharper ( since 1 pixel only displace 1 colour)..

Yup,save up more till RM1k ++ and go for 22".Suggest you to get the samsung 226BW.

Acer 22" the cheapest 22" currently =)

hey, have another noob question.. what is the difference between dynamic contrast and normal contrast? bcos i saw some specification such as samsung 226BW, the contrast ratio is 2000 : 1 (DC), but for those acer LCD such as Acer AL2216W, the contrast is 700:1.

bro
let me correct that
samsung is 3000:1
others are still 700:1 - acer,benq and lg
i dunno what its for but i heard the higher the contrast ratio, the better the colours are...

Hmm

Guys... when will the offer in Dell website ended?? For both 20" and 22"... both are promotional prices right?? When will it end?? Can't seem to find the date on the website

Oh thanks for the correction... yeah i know that higher contrast ratio produce better colours, but what is the difference between the dynamic contrast with the normal contrast le??

The real contrast for Samsung 226 is 1000:1
The 3000 rating is in Dynamic Contrast , which they actually rate it higher than normal Contrast , example all LG lcd uses Dynamic Contrast to rate like the 20",22" and 24"

From Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_ratio

1. If you can google for the panel of the lcd, why not just google for the comparison for ips and tn panel?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD#Types
http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php (easy to understand)

2. iirc, dell accept bank draft (?) they'll come to your home and collect it. better call dell and ask them about it.

Ah... thank you a lot for the guide on lcd type. I tried to google but most of the result is forums with lots of people arguing between TN and S-IPS

Well.. for now I'll just take the cheapest I can take (you get what you paid for)..

A friend of mine says that online transfer is possible... I think I'll better call them like you suggest and ask them further bout it...

A lot of videos files, dvd included look real crappy on widescreens that's 24 inches because the limited "width x height" is stretched far beyond what it was originally intended for.

So until everything gets encoded in HD, what's a good workaround to make viewing these legacy video files more bearable?

How to check the panel of the LCD?I have yet to check mine though..

Dell accepts bank draft for sure.Just call up their customer service and check with them..

View those files in original resolution ?
Lol
