All 22" are TNs right now, however the smaller models have PVA/MVA and IPS panels as well.

There are some from IPS, PVA and MVA. For example DELL 2007WFP 20" widescreen... arc_archive is selling his' and it is S-IPS.

so basically IPS and MVA those are more expensive than TN la?

of course more expensive than TN panel because of its better quality and better viewing angle.

AUO has released their own 24" TN panel - M240UW04 V1 Here are the specs:

1920 x 1200 resolution
5ms response time
1000:1 contrast ratio
450 cd/m2 brightness
160/160 viewing angles
92% NTSC colour gamut

Let's see how good it is when it is use by manufacturers.

Email had been sent to Dell just now for a confirmation regarding the warranty issue for units bought directly from retail shop. Hopefully they are able to answer me and i will inform you guys with the results..

The least expensive Full HD LCD monitor from Samsung. First 24" TN panel. Good new for gamers, nothing impressive for graphics designer. Hold on to your money first - those who owns a 8800GTS and above, and decided to get a 22". More low end 24" will enter the market soon.



Samsung 245B

This baby can even tilt and rotate, besides the height adjustment.

Here's the only review I've found so far on the Samsung 245B.

hoho... while a large monitor is best for movie viewing, and that only if u re sitting quite a distance from the monitor. But when comes to gaming, and normal usage where u can't sit too far from the screen, anything greater than 22" will make our eyes tiresome, due to increase in eyeball movement and neck movement.

just my opinion.

I really like the fact that the monitor support the potrait mode.
Awesome review. Thanks for sharing. The features of the monitor are awesome, minus the design and the not-so-low price. With the small price difference, I would rather get a Dell 24" which has better design and viewing angle.

Btw, was the code 245B or 245BW? Samsung say its 245BW.

Has it been released here in Malaysia? What price if so?

I mean compared the US price of both monitors. Although it might not be that accurate, as the Malaysian price for some Dell monitors are even cheaper than US itself based on the USD dollar to RM conversion rate.

If based on the newegg link I've posted. It should be roughly around RM 1790. I'm actually hoping for something around 1.5K-1.6K range.

Need to see more reviews to see how the input lag is. I'm one of those people that always notice tearing, and always notice if input lag. Quite hate it when most of my friends can play without having to have vsync on.

i got 1 question to ask u guys,

does any of this monitor supports 1:1 scaling which is the samsung 206bw, samsung 226bw and dell e228wfp.

Ive google everywhere and cant find the answer to this.

I don't know about the Dell but the Samsungs you mentioned don't have it.

just to add: if got 1:1 mapping, means that if we set the 1280x1024 resolution on a wide screen, the screen will just positioned in center and no stretching at all?

btw, LG L196WT have 1:1 mapping or not?
