I suggest change this thread title to Dell Monitor thread

The number of DELL users outnumbered the rest. I too would love to discuss about NEC 2490WUXi & ACD, but not many has one.

1500? N still TN panel? So ur just paying extra for the extras izzit?

Don think it will be rm1500 bah...too overpriced though...if like that people better get a 24 inch lcd..If samsung really want to competite in 22'inch lcd,it will 1st cut the current 226bw price and increase a few hundred for 226cw and this model.

Anyway,this lcd looks really cool than my 226bw!!!
*
It is selling in australia for $999. After conversion it is more than 2k here. Samsung PC LCD price is always tend to be on the higher side. Most importantly, is the quality that matters.

I know higher quality=higher price.

But if u wanna pay 2K for a 22 incher ,which is more thn 2wice the price of my Dell,im hoping it to be twice as good as mine.

You can't measure the value of a product. It is subjective. As long as people love it and their wallet allows it, why not?

widescreen is better for multitasking and viewing widescren movies
22" for rm2k will never worth the money in any case
rather get a Dell 2407, It has composite/S-video input as well, dunno got HDMI or not... but more importantly it is full HD
*
Dell 2407 doesn't have HDMI and build in speakers, it may be a crucial input for some who needed it. 2k can be quite a tad for some of you guys, but for others, buying peanuts can costs more than 2k. Samsung is targeting a totally different market segment, the loaded ones.

BenQ FP241WZ going for RM1899 at lowyat. Definitely a true contender with 2407WFP-HC now.

Is this BenQ FP241WZ different from your BenQ FP241W kah, kianwee bro?
*
Benq came out with the 'Z' model claiming that it is improved with new technology - the Black Frame Insertion. AFAIK it insert a black frame in between 2 coloured frame and thus resulting in less afterglow. It can be switched on and off in the menu.

I donno much bout LCD.. But at this moment ..im thinking to get rid of my bulky 17'' Monitor n replace with LCD to save my workstation.

So what would you guys suggest me to buy? I like Samsung..(d look) but is more expensive right? N what are the things that i need to take note if im going to get a Widescreen monitor.. Will any Games or Software unable to display properly in d LCD? Or will my old graphic Card (FX 5200 i think) support it?

Go for normal ratio, or widescreen? what u guys recommend tongue.gif
Oh yea.. my

Budget :totally below rm 700... less d best..keke

Main Usage : Doing 3dsmax, Photoshop etc... d accuracy of the colour is important to prevent diffr outcome when print out n viewing. Some say LCD colour not as accurate as Normal monitor.. can anyone verify this?
*
As a graphics designer myself, RM700 will be really tough for you to get a good LCD monitor with acceptable color accuracy. The cheapest LCD that the color reproduction is acceptable for me would be the DELL 2007WFP. That would costs more than RM1k. If your budget is limited, I suggest you stick with your old CRT first. Do not get a TN panel LCD because it will truely jeopardize your work, especially if that's your living.

hey i got a LG 32inch lcd  brows.gif . do i really need a good graphic card to support it  sweat.gif ? im using a 7900GS.
and hey,is it really good using such a wide-ass lcd to play games such as css???  icon_question.gif
*
No, you don't. 32" LCD TV has the resolution of 1366x768, which is very low. 7900GS should be fine.

i mean,which kinda lcd works real good on gaming? how many inches? is the new ASUS good? think its like 22 too..
i mean like,budget 2k-?

For me, the best looking LCD for gaming would be 24" and above. We are talking about PC LCD, not LCD TV, unless you have the moolah to fork out RM7k and above for Full HD LCD TV. 24" PC LCD would have a resolution of 1920x1200, so gaming would be so much sharper compared to gaming on a 32" LCD TV.

Sharp has one 32" LCD TV that supports FULL HD, released last year.

HDCP is not for you to 'use'. It's just a Digital Content Protection. Google it if you do not know what HDCP actually is.

Hey guys,

Does gfx card have any impact on monitor's performance? I have an Asus 8600GT DDR3, am thinking of getting either 19" or 20" samsung widescreen. Advice please, thanx  smile.gif

It is the other way around. Monitor size due to their resolution, has impact on your gaming performance.

Actually 22" is the best desktop monitor size for me.. But just current 22" are all TN panel.. There's some better panel on the way ..stay tune..
24" with 1920 x 1600 resolution just makes the text looked too small

24" is running at 1920x1200.

Look for the root directory and there should have a driver folder. BTW, driver isn't really that important for LCD.

if u wana full load with 1080p with ps3 or xbox,
i think u need to install the driver,
but most probably the driver is outdated...

from other forum website a ppl told me tat,
he told me to get the driver from dell website,
but i cant get one too,
there just left 27" and 30" lcd monitor driver...
*
LCD driver is totally unnecessary, it is the display card driver that's important. Installing the driver only if you want the ICC profiles on older platform. On my Vista, I just plug and play and it detects everything.
