i bought a samsung 226BW few days ago..
now the price is around rm900...
the model is worth on that price....try to check it out

Nice info. I'll have some read before throwing out more questions later.

DVI provides much sharper display, no?

anyway... for 22", which of these more recommended
- Samsung 2232BW (cheapest here RM930)
- LG W2242T (cheapest here RM946)
- Fujitsu FA-22W1B (cheapest here RM899)

alternatively I'd just get a 19" LG W1942T for RM679 and spend more on the rig. This monitor also displays 16.7mil colours right?

Requirements still the same... building a rig mainly for photo editing.

i don't think 22 got UltraSharp for dell. Only those 20" > 24" got

I did not recommend anything, just asking for recommendation.

There's Ultrasharp version for 22". It's under "small and medium business" section.

DVI provides more stabil images and more vibrant colors. You definitely do not want flickering or jittery images... especially images with fine patterns and/or details, also moire patterns...

Can get Samsung 226BW over here for RM899/-
Saw one for RM858/- on offer...
Can get for RM828/- over here...

Viewsonic and BenQ can get below RM800/- ... However these prices are for KL...

Ermm.. its your choice... though I do highly recommend a 22" and/or IPS panel...

Example of moire pattern, check out the attachment...  Moire_on_parrot_feathers.zip ( 946.1k ) Number of downloads: 17
Use 1:1 pixel mapping, means 1 screen pixel=1 image pixel.. Unadjusted monitors (using VGA input) may show flickering or pixel crawl..

nowadays S-IPS panel below 20",what LCD provide this kind of panel??i gonna buy VX2025 by viewsonic,the panel tech is P-MVA..so before i buy it,better i find some info of 2o" S-IPS,but i already find 2007WFP until i went to Imbi DELL also not provide it..since the 2007WFP is old version,1 or 2 years ago..

2007WFP has been discontinued. Try Apple Cinema Display 20" if you want S-IPS panel. Retailed at RM2,199.00

price of 20" Apple Cinema same as the price of 24", S-IPS panel so costly or its juz Apple?

Apple's stuff is always a tad high.

The body's aluminium.

RM2199 like this i have to sell my ass at chow kit ar so expensive,better i find 24" like this which r using S-IPS or TV LCD..nowadays 20" S-IPS very hard to find..

Most IPS panels are costly... due to being a true 8-bit (true 16.7 million colors) type panel. The cheaper alternative would be PVA panels... Acer has 24" one under RM1000/-, model number AL2416W ...

Some reading here: S-PVA panel LCD monitors for photography

Comparisons of different monitors using PVA panels: The Samsung 245B: the 1st TN 24'' TN vs 24'' PVA, MVA... - BeHardware

Apple ma.. Buy the name...
ViewSonic not bad wat.. Cheap and good.. !!! But the design might gives u a headache la.

behardware give good explanation in LCD,last time i read bout comparing 16 LCDs if i;m not mistaken..the TN,IPS and MVA,really can get good knowledge bout LCD from there..hmm now i got only i choice viewsonic VX2025 cost RM800+..the design is more cool than others viewsonic and it using P-MVA...

Just bought that 19" lg a week ago. Color reproduction is good for a TN panel. Pass almost all test on that site http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test . Quite surprised it passed the black test, even when viewing from the side, gamma is set at 0/brightness 22/ contrast 70. Except for inversion pixel walk test, slight flicker on 2b and alot of flicker on 4b.

But of course if budget allows, getting a IPS panel is better for photo editing. If not just get this lg will do

Hmm.... Are you using analog VGA or DVI?

Should not flicker at all.

My 22" monitor passed every test EXCEPT the "Viewing angle" one... Can't be faulted, its TN panel weakness.

That does not happen with S-IPS or PVA type panels..
