Sometimes drivers have issues too FYI. Kinda limited to laptops though. Mine doesn't change to external display/TV even with FN + F6(or F7/F8 whichever) and need to configure in the drivers.

Anyways, the 2253LW is tempting. Less 0.4 inch, but cheaper by a huge margin. I know I asked this before, but does it show some buzzing sound below a certain brightness/contrast level?

This is backlight bleeding.

Yeah,i know.But i scare it damages the images quality

Nope it won't damage image quality.
It's really a tiny line of light at the edges of the screen & u won't notice it until u activate a black blank screensaver or wallpaper.
U won't notice it during gaming at all. Don't worry. But I'm not sure whether an LCD will get this backlight bleeding after some times

but dell doesnt has the 1920x1200 solution with less than RM1000.00

Ya,agree...Bcoz dell is famous ma...

I'm actually still not too sure abt which to get...the LG 2252T-PF or the Samsung 2253LW....

but i'll just try my luck and see...if i can get either one, then so be it la...

also since got qwerty79 reviewed...thought that i'd give it a go....and see how it turns out...

will prolly try to compare both...if possible...

Pal, try to go low yat for 1 round. There are a lot demo set you can compare, so just buy it when u satisfy. BTW, low yat also have ALLIT hypermart and i believe other shop also will sell more cheaper since competitive there too strong.

i jz bought samsung 2253LW from thundermatch RM 685..at first wanna buy benq rm 585 but then it doesnt come with dvi cable..and buying dvi cable and the lcd will cost rm 620
very weird lar..last time those samsung good model like 226BW come with glossy screen...then now all batch..comes with non glossy already..how come ar?

since samsung 2253lw rm 685 come with dvi cable and agp cable..i change my mind by getting samsung


Migrating from 17 inch CRT to 21.6 inch wide LCD..really beh tahan lar...very sharp and nice.color also very nice...but it's too bright for my eyes lar...i set brightness 20 and contrast 25 only still very bright eventhough i did lcd tweaking test.Still fine and can see all the colors.

My eyes very sensitive geh..even slight ghosting i also can notice.
backlight bleeding worse ler,even highest samsung grade i also can see bleeding....dont have bleeding in my old crt


altho 5 ms and gtg 2 ms..i still can notice a bit of ghosting compare to my crt

Somemore now a bit dizzy using LCD...if continue to be like this..i will swap my lcd with anyone that has old CRT...how to use the com if feel dizzy everyday.
my old crt running at 100 hz and 800*600 flat samsung crt .



I got one question..Im using digital to digital cable now...running full reso 1680*1050 @ 60hz at 32 bit color...all the xp font very small lar...and the mouse move so slow compare to last time already.
If so small...need use eyes power to see all the fonts and words leh...how wor?somemore need to excel...very small numbers if run max reso. if set low reso...the lcd blur..not sharp at all.
how ar?I already adjust IE to display text to large setting..still small when viewing lowyat.net


Why whenever i set to lower wide screen reso like 1280* 720 or other wide reso ..not those 1024*768 normal screen....the LCD looks so blur wan?

lucky this samsung can change to normal square screen..so i can play dota and cs...but need to train back the mouse movement coz not used to it .

overall...still not satisfy lar,maybe im still not used to LCD...I still prefer CRT...but i cant find any new crt selling in lowyat .

i think im little regret coz im so used to square screen...should have bought square lcd and not the wide wan...

The best way is to compare side by side if possible. In my case, I only get a few choices and take the best with the budget I had.

Glossy screen can give sharper image but can produce reflection on the screen. But I heard that 266BW is the best Samung lcd monitor but already phase out.

Bleeding only occur on LCD not CRT.
You probably a gamer to notice ghosting effect on this lcd. 2ms (gtg) is quite fast for lcd monitor. Can't compare with crt. That's why previously most gamer take a while to migrate to lcd monitor because of slow response rate.

Sad to here that.

Yup, some gamers prefer 4:3 ratio than 16:10. I already mention this in one of my post. Widescreen also means lots of area your mouse need to travel. So when playing game, specially strategy-like, more area to cover.

You need to increase your mouse sensitivity. You used to run at 800 x 600. Now it's about double the resolution to cover. Consider doubling your sensitivity or something.

As to the small icons, moving from such big ones to smaller ones, your eyes would take a while to get used to.
