Hey all. Just bought a Dell E198WFP. I jumped from a 15" 4:3 LCD to a 19" wide. IMHO, its rather perfect size for me. Because I don't have a proper table for my pc so Im using it by sitting on the floor.. Btw, i find the screen rather bright. Running on DVI, the initial contrast and brightness was 75. Tried setting it low but it looks gloomy. Anyway I can get good setting without compromising the colors? Oh, heres the pic of my pc and Dell 19". I like the thin black bezel, compared to the silver one (SE198WFP). The black somehow made the screen look rather big. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « No regrets getting this 19" at all.

QUOTE(zeist @ Sep 14 2007, 03:59 PM) Guys, if you have to choose between a Dell and Samsung widescreen, which one is the best?  It fully depends on which model you are comparing la. For IPS and VA panels type monitor, dell should offer a cheaper price tag as compare egg to egg on similiar samsung model. Just wondering is there any tn based 24inch available in local market as I see quite some models already surfaces in oversea market, where pricing wise wont be alot difference as compare to those higher end 22inch monitor in the market.

Got myself a Viewsonic 22" and have a noob question I wanna ask:
My RTS games (War3 and Starcraft, both w/o native WS support) turns into widescreen whenever I use them; so I'm guessing that it's the job of Mr. 1:1 pixel mapping, no? Anyway, I wanted to ask if there's anyway I can turn it back to normal screen because I find it really hard to play them wide?
Thanks!
