oh... but even if I can afford 30" ACD, I would rather use the money to buy bigger LCD TV

do the font look very small when use native resolution on a 20" wide?
I very like the 20" wide, but too bad all of them are using 1680x1050 which make fonts really small w/o dpi adjustment

but 22" is just too big for me

btw is that the quality of picture will still be good if I down the resolution to 1440x900 on a 20" ?

on a true h264 HD video, even a c2d will choked if it was clocked at lower freqs. Of course a builtin HD video decoding GC like 8500/2600xt would help a lot for those having lower end proc.

most of the downloaded series are downsampled of HDTV, they may have 720 vertical resolution, but they mostly are encoded using xvid/divx/mp4.

something which has total bit rate of over 5mbps, up to 10mbps (2 times the regular dvd)
u can download some demos at nzone.com

their resolution is true 720 or 1080 vertical

does all the mainstream TN monitors accept analog signals from DVI only?
All of the monitors I seen from their specs are:
LG L245WP
Video Signal Type : RGB Analog
even a 24" also use DVI-Analog?

Dell is always been changing panels in their entry level of LCDs. Sometimes they use Samsung, LG or even Taiwanese brands. The viewing angle is actually according to TN spec which is 160deg plus/minus. Some reputable panels such as Samsung/LG-Phillips do produce closest possible to the best TN specs, and brilliant contrast and better color reproduction. But for the average eyes, its hard to see how bad is one panel compare to others just by looking at it, at least its for me, partially color blind dumb.

and does Dell that stupid just take in the 1 dead pixel LCD than without inspections straightaway give you a new one?

226BW, got the samsung LCD tv looks, u can have illusion that u re facing a small samsung LCD tv each time u use the pc

screen itself is not small. same height with 17" normal
but font and image size is a bit small when on the native resolution, u can change windows dpi setting or enlarge the fonts btw

I am eying for ViewSonic VG2030wm 20.1" WS. Is it a good LCD in general? Any problem with that model?

btw, from what I see in viewsonic web, they have 4 lines of LCD, VA,VG,VX and VP
I want to know is there any difference between VX and VG aside ftrom design?
nowadays is hard to find 20"widescreen

haih... is it wasted if I buy 22" wide just for normal surfing, gaming, and movies? I am no multitasker and I don't do spreadsheet, photoshopp and programming at the moment.

I ve simulate the 1600x1024 resolution, when I open LYN homepage, yahoo.com, microsoft.com and many other major pages, both horizontal sides has been wasted (sometimes the content of the page is left intended, why most are center oriented)

this makes me think over and over again, will it be waste of money if i buy 22" ?

but its unpleasant to see something like this
22" resolution

mental barrier lol

its rm849 this time...........they used to be rm999 I think. Wonder why this time is not in extended delivery mode.

Really hope they can extend the offer, and hope ViewNet could update their price on this

Added on July 12, 2007, 6:46 pmmostly they are using taiwan chimei panel now
u ll not see any difference without take in 2 different models and compare side by side.
anyway, all TN panels have almost the same specs, its good enough for normal use.

panel lottery has been a trends for major LCD makers, because most panel makers will only mass produce on a particular size of panels. Samsung has to minimize cost by buying TN panels from others, while they can focus on making more expensive S-PVA in bigger sizes.

Dell do not make panel themselves, thus they have even more flexibilities to choose from wide range of panels. And they never state that which panel is used in which model, nor do they guarantee buyers will get which panel. Which makes many LCD makers can freely choose any panels and we all can't sue them.

try thundermatch, they said its rm1150

I called them some days before.
U can call them again to verify, I scare different people quote different price

CW is better. But dont think they will release that soon

their entry level design is just as sucks as acer one
