but sony has the best tecnology
japanese are the IT genius

I don't doubt Japanese's abilities in technology, but make sure you know how Sony operates and their products' performance (in this case for their LCD TVs) before saying they are the the best

Many people will agree with you on one thing though, if you are super rich buy the X xeries or the S series, since they are priced with high premium

Yes it will. The 1280x720 res will be letterboxed on the screen.

You can always turn off 1:1 pixel mapping if you want, the image will then just go full screen. Of course expect some stuff to be blur, but its hard to say for now. We may never know how good BenQ's E/M 2200/2400HD scalers are until its out. But judging from pass experience with BenQ monitors, they usually have some of the best scalers around.

They are also one of the very damn few LCD manufacturers which uses proper DCR on their panels. That means, their DCR actually freaking works unlike all those bullshit by Samsung and Viewsonic.

So, just 2 more weeks till the end of September. Lets see how good BenQ's monitors are. If they nail it right, its going to be awesome.


Its an S-PVS panel, what do you expect? You pay more than RM2.5k for it even. For that price you can easily get a 32" Sharp Aquos.

Looking forward for the review of the upcoming releases..
Yea, being an ex-user of the V2400W, I gotta agree with you as BenQ has one of the best scalers around..
Another factor that might get me to get the new upcoming release is they have the compatibility with HDMI 1.3..
But all comes down to does the PS3 really supports the HDMI 1.3..because i've read some articles that the PS3 manual did stated it supports it but only the audio part..
Correct me if i'm wrong..

excuse me for interrupting, can my LG W1942T monitor support HDCP (can play PS3)?

any nice lcd monitor wif Full HD 1080 recommend ? and the price ?

Get one with 16:9 aspect ratio as it fully utilizes its resolution pixel to pixel..
Cheap and goes well with PS3, I'd recommend Dell's S2409W..online offer expires at tmr though..wonder if the price varies a lot..
Or if you can wait..look out for BenQ's upcoming E2400HD and the M series which are with the aspect ratio of 16:9 too..

E and M series uses HDMI 1.3. No worries there.

And yes, since day one the PS3 has supported HDMI 1.3. There is a deep color option(or rather in the PS3's case, Full Color) under the display settings.

how about dell s2409W? does it use hdmi 1.3?
thx

i need help deciding on buying a new 22" monitor. i have scaled down to SAMSUNG 2253BW which has contrast ratio of 8000:1 but got no HDMI or Asus VK222H which has contrast ratio of 5000:1 with HDMI. which is better? higher contrast or HDMI? both prices around the same.

Guys want to ask, after all the research and also with budget in mind,

There are two models which is very near and very close towards each other in all the specs, only that LG wins a bit.

42PG60UR RM4099
(30,000:1, single frame, 150Hz, support DIVX,JPEG,500cd/m),3HDMI)

TH42PV80H RM3990
(15,000:1, support SDHC (JPEG), 3HDMI)

Hope someone using these models can help comment. Thanks

here's a short review on my Dell s2409w, absolutely amazing for ps3 gaming at 1080p, matter of fact due to my budget and room size this lcd fits my bill nicely..

Hwoarang45,

I just wanted to know whether the s2409w is hdmi 1.3 version.

But I know the upcoming benq HD lcd is HDMI 1.3, hopefully can beat Dell price.

dell s2409w doesnt support 1:1 pixel mapping which is very important to gaming. if not your graphic will be stretched-weird

BenQ's E2200HD has just been released in India. After conversion, the price is about RM770 here which is a freaking sweet deal for a 22 incher. Of course, you'll need to add in tax, localising price and what not. But I'm ready to bet that it wouldn't be more than RM900.

S2409W is using HDMI 1.3 port btw.

I want to upgrade from my 29" Sony Trinitron to Samsung 40" Widescreen. Saw one available at my local shopping center for around RM4000+(Samsung 40" Widescreen) Is this a good buy?

i'm not sure about 1:1 pixel mapping for the dell s2409w

but if you're using it for a ps3 i dont think it matters as the screen aspect ratio is already 16:9.

well i already ordered one and i can tell in a few days more =)

Good to heard that S2409W is using 1.3 port..I've ordered one last week because I can't wait no longer for the BenQ E series to hit us here..plus..the E series's design doesn't suit my taste much..and based on what observation..Ben I'm sure you'll get one as soon as the are here right?

Do provide us your thoughts about it after testing one..


I've ordered one here too, placed my order on 19th September but haven't receive any call from the courier yet..I wonder what's the day that your salesperson estimate your unit will arrive?

well actually i ordered mine from pc world but on 19th as well (what a coincidence =P)

the guy told me that it will take 7-10 days.
