You can use the following recommended (free) software...

Eizo Monitor Test (direct download)

Dead Pixel Tester

Dead Pixel Buddy

Some shops will test on the spot for you, usually after you have made the purchase..

Thank you , but I mean test on the spot.How look or what way or technique to test ?

The only way to know is to switch it on and hook it to a PC and display a blank fullscreen of primary colors (red, green, blue), white and black... Some shops uses dead pixel testing software.

There's no point recommending monitor like NEC and Eizo to him because it is not available locally. Unless he is willing to import it in, I imported a 24" NEC 2490 yrs ago and the total cost is nearly 4.5k. Think about it.

I'm using the same model. Press the 'Menu' button on your LCD to make that annoying message go away. Set back your display to 1080p, this model can support it. But for Blu-Ray playback, this model can only do 720p. I'm on the 2nd final boss of MSG 4

I think I should clarify things regarding this issue. 226BW accepts 1080p input resolution, but it will downscale it back to the LCD's native resolution, so it is not actually running at 1920x1080. A lot of the latest 32" HD ready LCD TV accepts 1080p resolution, but when displaying it downgrades back to it's native resolution which is 1366x768. Accepts and displaying 1080p is totally different. Only a FULL HD panel can display 1080p, which in LCD monitor's case, any LCD that has a resolution of 1920x1200 and above.

NEC monitor sure is good but then hard to find distributor here.... sadly... anyway dont talk about the price... NEC LCD are made in Japan or other places?

yeah, i like NEC product also. hehe

yea... certain LCD just downgrades the whole resolution that renders it pretty useless

Hi, I'm a newbie here. Recently I decided to buy a 22" HP monitors for playstation 3 gaming. Anyone can tell me more about current 22" hp monitors selling in LOWYAT PLAZA? with HDCP function of course, and please tell me the best price.

Hi fellas this is my first post in this sub-forum, I'm in Penang and in the market for a new LCD. I want to get a Samsung 22" and found that the current models available in Malaysia are 2232BW, 2253BW and 226BW. Which one is the latest and that you guys recommend I should buy? Also, I find that the shops here only carry 2232BW which I suspect is not the latest model, anyone can recommend shops in Penang which carry the latest?

Thanks for the clarification. I felt odd because 226BW can accept 1080p. I was prepared for 720p since i bought my PS3.

2253BW is the latest one. You can try Prangin Mall for this model.

Kinda off topic here, its there even a 32" LCDtv FULLHD available locally here?.. so far i only noticed 37" ones has FullHD... which cost like abt rm4k.

Ditto!, thats why it stated "support" 1080p instead of saying displays or resolution up to...

Not to mention if referring to LCDtv HDTV (supports 1080p) prices its abt rm1k difference compared to Full-HDTV.. lol...

Its like USB1.0-ports supports USB2.0 flashdrive, but of course the flashdrive can't run at hi/full-speeds (vice-versa).

@kianwee, imo better post the "support 1080p" facts up in the first post oso...

Cheers

oh... but if the shop don't have software to test so the only way to test is use a black wallpaper fullscreen and white wallpaper fullscreen right ?
Sorry what do you mean red, green, blue ? need to test red, green, blue fullscreen wallpaper too ?

Added on June 24, 2008, 6:34 pmforgot , can someone tell me what brand got 19 inch fullscreen LCD selling ? and the price too ?
Because I am using very old graphic card cannot display widescreen one , and 19 inch widescreen not tall enough as 17 inch. Must need 22 inch to have same height as 19inch fullscreen and very expensive also.

1K difference? At least 3K difference I would say. =D

Misleading info. Sony S400 series below 40" all HD Ready. Not FULL HD. Looks like Sen-Q trying to con consumer.
