shocking.gif It doesn't support 1:1? ah what a let down  doh.gif .. then how about the LG 226WTQ?? any 22" inch LCD that support 1:1ratio? i don't wanna buy a wrong thing later..
*
Yes it does support 1:1

"switching from 1:1 mode to native resolution and back turns off 1:1 completely. so every time i have to go back to 1:1 alt-tabing in a non-widescreen game gets tedious since i do it a lot."

great find! thumbup.gif thanks....n on the site they compared A panel and S panel...they only briefly mentioned the C Panel.

it was a long read...

but in the end....the difference is too minimal to make so much noise about.
*
Yeap, some forumers in the [H]ardForum just spice things up and make a big noise about this S vs A panel comparison ,in the end, I dont see any big different that makes ppl stray away from A and also C panel

Yes S panel is better factory default but NOT MUCH and if you think you got S panel and you have the best LCD, you are wrong, TN panel is still inferior too other panel type like S-IPS, S-PVA bla bla

BenQ 19" FP92W [ WIDE ] - RM 590

LG 19" 194WT [ WIDE ] - RM 630

Samsung 19" 940BW [ WIDE ] - RM 620

Guys,from the 3 19" Wide above,which one is the best buy?
*
LG , just better overall =)

QUOTE(PVCpipe @ May 26 2007, 02:40 PM)
so u guys are wide screen user,...  how is gaming wit with wide lcd..... games got stretch? Samsung 19" 940BW is my choice to buy, afraid if play games and stretch....
*
Depends on games, newer games that suppport WS resolution won't look stretch. Games like warcraft 3 though will be stretch, or there will be a black bar on both side (depending on your graphic setting)

Aye... poor us Perak/Penang people... so hard to find 20" monitor here... sad.gif
Anyway,
Guys... need your opinion on this... after some thinking I think 20" wide is kinda too big for me to bring to my college... so... I want to ask a few opinion..

Currently I am using X2Gen (OEM by LIKOM) LCD monitor 19". Only VGA... no DVI port... sad.gif 12ms response time... and resolution of 1280x1024 @ 75Hz.
If I were to change to Samsung 940BW... which is also 19" (the only difference being it is widescreen) with 4ms response time... is the change noticeable?? I mean... is it worth it to change from 19" to 19" widescreen??

Cause 940BW got DVI port as well.. which I believe is superior in every aspect from VGA port. It is 4ms (in contrast with my current 12ms monitor).. and it is wide...

What do you guys think?? Is it a good choice to take 940BW over my current monitor or just stick with my current one for now... because basically both are 19"... just that one is wide while the other one is normal flat 19" panel.
*
No, in fact you will see shorter n wider panel, but won't be so much improvement
1280x1024 vs 1400x900, not really a big improvement huh sweat.gif

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...
*
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
QUOTE
It is also common to market only the dynamic contrast ratio capability of a display (when it is better than its static contrast ratio), which should not be directly compared to the static contrast ratio. A plasma display with a static 5000:1 contrast ratio will show superior contrast to an LCD display with 5000:1 dynamic and 1000:1 static contrast ratio when the input signal contains full range of brightnesses from 0 to 100% simultaneously. However they will be on par when input signal ranges only from 0 to 20% brightness.

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?
*
View those files in original resolution ?
Lol

Not sure what are u trying to say... sweat.gif

Izzit u meant the ratio size?... for example DVD movies (widescreen aspect) will look 'stretched' on LCD monitor rite?...

Btw, it doesnt matter whether its 24inch monitors...

Afaik, all widescreen monitors are 16:10 ratio widescreen, wherelse mostly widescreen movies are 16:9 or even wider aspect ratio.

Sure it will look 'scretched', but at least it a widescreen monitor will look much better compared to yer typical non-widescreen monitors which its 4:3 or 5:4... tongue.gif

I gotta say at times i pretty much pissed-off abt..
"WHY IN THE WORLD THEY MAKE LCD MONITOR (16:10) ASPECT RATIO DIFFERENT TO LCD TV (which its 16:9)!?..."
... okok.. rant off tongue.gif

Cheers smile.gif
*
What he meant is all most of the video files are in eg. 640x480 where 24" resolution is 19xx , doesnt matter widescreen or not

Well if u ask me , it would be take too long to encode a video in such a large resolution (even HD format is not 19xx) and takes too much processing power when viewing smile.gif

if I'm not mistaken... 2007WFP is using S-IPV (or whatever panel that is of a higher quality) but 226BW is using TN Panel.

Does this play the roles in determining the image quality in both panels??
*
Yes. Btw its S-IPS wink.gif but some users are getting S-PVA 2007 too

Lol thanks for advertising tongue.gif
But if you ask me, for 17" range I'll take the Samsung 732N wink.gif It has DVI unlike most of the 17" out there , for the price, its a nice buy

The price of LCD is going up soon, or so I heard from my supplier. smile.gif

LOL..I know cause i got the qoutation from you. As of now, i am just trying to see some options before making my mind for my friend on which to take. Samsung seems promising with DVI but how does it compare to the other 17" at the same price range?
*
Acer 17 with speakers, quality wise, you know sweat.gif
BenQ 17 FP73G (Been using it for a long time) 5ms, very nice but it cost abit more wink.gif
Samsung 740N - 8ms , spec inferior than 732N which has 5ms + 700:1 contrast
LG - Not really sure about the 17" tongue.gif

Try to use some cloth and press on it for a few sec and see if its gone , it might be a stuck pixel ,if its still there, then most probably its a dead pixel ,call Dell to see if its able to exchange a new one for you smile.gif

I just bought Samsung 226BW yesterday. I don't see any panel type printed at the back of LCD. So how to identify ler? Is that because too many argument between S & C until they decide not to disclose or any other reason behind it?

Below is the information I get from back LCD.

Model: 226BW
Type No: GH22WS
Model Code: LS22MEWSFV/XME
Manufactured: May 2007
The new batch of Samsung 226BW don't have any panel type on the back of the LCD anymore blush.gif
