Price update, this is from my friend who has comeback from PC Fair:

BENQ V2400W=RM 1499
BENQ G2400W=RM 999
BENQ G2110W=RM 699

What do you think guys? Benq LCD can buy? Don't really have confidence in the brand coz bad feedback from most users...but price super cheap.

Aiyo kepala pening..will be going there in 1.5 hours...

I think Benq 24" over kill for me...GPU not powerful enough, later need more upgrades...22" will be just nice.

Samsung 2253 is around RM 875 (plus minus RM20 ) from the different stall.

Is this better or 226BW better?? rclxub.gif

Kepala pening...arrggghhh...

Bought a T221W at PC Fair today...dunno which to buy, then headache already...WTH...only RM670 for 22". Sapu saja ler.

But now find there's a problem with the stand design..it tilts a bit down and forward and i've to put something underneath the stand to lift it up to be more level at 90 degree. Is this normal? Did i fix something wrong? sweat.gif

In my Benq, there's an option to set "Native" and "Full Screen". Should set to native i think.

If you use lcd tv ur windows font wil look blurry. To be honest with you, it is better to hook ur pc to lcd monitor. Just a thought only, just get what you're happy with. There're monitor come with soundbar n some even from hdmi. I dont really want to go into technical, to make it simple the differences, lcd monitor r meants for pc display, lcd tv are meants for tv.


Added on August 3, 2008, 4:04 am
For me is ez, t240. Why? adapt the future. O do u know the t240 is a hybrid monitor? do check with ur eyes b4 buy.

Nah, it wont be blurry. Quite sharp in fact, as long as you use native resolution. I use a HTPC with a Sharp Aquos LCD TV. Looks great and the games look fantastic even at only 1368 x 768. However, i won't recommend it for normal PC usage though. An LCD monitor is still preferable due to higher res and you're not going to sit 6 feet away from your PC.

True also, haven't thought of that, I think i want to set my games running in 16:9 instead of 16:10...i just like the 16:9 aspect better...but i'm not sure most pc games actually support 16:9 or their 16:9 simply chop off some areas top and bottom to make it 16:9 from 16:10...LOL.

yes ive noticed it has a slight yellowish tint too... anyone has optimized settings to go with this lcd? currently using R:98 G:96 B:84 with brightess at 77 and contrast at 50

Hey, me too, I'm using BENQ T221W. I think the setting is yellowish, if you set the color temperatur to warm. But even when not 'warm', it's slighlty yellowish. I've reduced the RED to 61, GREEN to 90, BLUE to 90. It is much less yellow now. bright=45, Contrast=70. But maybe a little to blue now...that's why looking for software that can do the color corrections!

U may use black color wallpaper to test it out manually..See how much dot is not in black color..
Then use other color to be ur wall paper to see any dot doesnt change to the color of the wallpaper..

Actually, it's quite hard to see...one pixel is so small!!!...i think as long as you don't notice it, it's okay lah. I don't really check myself also, just generally look, play some games, seems good, then don't bother. smile.gif Maybe i'm just not very demanding.

guys a question hope someone can explain

since i'm plannin to get a new lcd n a g.card

i wanna query somethin

is it possible to lets say connect a hdmi supported g.card like the ATI4870 to a LCD monitor which supports hdcp but no HDMI port

using given adapter for the g.card , i connect tru an hdmi to dvi-d cable
will i see any difference?
*
Nope no difference. HDMI=DVI + sound. HDCP is only for BlueRay disc. If you don't have BlueRay, it's not even important.

Actually, you can always run in lower resolution at native, meaning you'll see some top/bottom/side black borders. Still not bad. If i've known this b4, i might have bought a 24" instead of 22".... doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif Wat to do...noob ma...but ok ler, still quite satisfied with my cheap cheap Benq T221W. smile.gif

1.85:1?What is this aspect ratio?I only heard about 4:3 and 16:9 or even 16:10
*
1.85:1 is normal Movie ratio. That is why when you watch a DVD movie on your 16:9 LCD TV , you still get the top/bottom bar.

Now even worst, some movies are in 2:35:1 ratio....even more narrower.

16:9 and 16:10 is only the format for LCD TV and LCD Monitors. 16:9 is the widescreen format for HDTV broadcast, but NOT for movies on DVDs or BluRay disc, becoz most movies are shot in either 1:85:1 or 2:35:1

Plan to get a 19-22" LCD to replace my 17" CRT.
Your question remind me and I did a quick check on Google for my GeForce 2 MX200, 32MB.
Can support up to maximum 3D/2D resolution of 2048x1536 @ 75 Hz.

So I guess it can support that resolution normally.
Just that when play 3D intensive game, maybe tough!  hmm.gif
*
Not tough. IMPOSSIBLE.

Anyway, for normal work, even old integrated graphics card should work. If not, any new el-cheapo low end RM150 discrete card will do the trick.

Can anyone tell me how to clone the 2nd monitor to be identical to the 1st? Is it must be same resolution? I just want to clone the output to a 2nd monitor(LD TV actually) instead of extending my desktop to it.

My point is getting the lowest resolution in widest monitor in the market. If there is 800 X 600 30" monitor, go grasp it for old man.

My new 24" monitor is having much smaller font than my 15" monitor which is more difficult to read news. Have to bear for trade-off between font size and movie size.


Added on September 12, 2008, 4:14 am
Get a splitting cable to connect two monitors to your PC.

Some old monitors cannot support higher 1920X1200 resolution. Originally I was planning to use two monitors in different locations. Small one for reading news and email, and big one is solely for movie, but my old monitor is incapable to support high resolution. It's too troublesome to readjust resolution back and forth, so I decided to give my old monitor to my nephew.

Thanks for the tip. I've an ATI 4850 and output to a 22" Benq LCD via DVI and a SHARP LCD TV via HDMI.

I'm using the Sharp to watch movies. Currently it's very troublesome as i need to drag the apps over to the Sharp desktop, but since it's far away( about 12 feet or more), i can't see what i'm doing with the keyboard and mouse on that screen. doh.gif

I read that you can actually clone the monitor via software, but only saw it for Nvida cards and XP. VISTA seems to have do away with the cloning features.

Now the problem...since i need HDMI for my Shapr and DVI for my Benq...how do i split???

hi guys sorry if this have been asked b4..i would like to know,when using a widescreen monitor, is it possible to play games that do not have wide screen resolution to play in its normal reso instead of stretching it to fit the screen?

go to http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/...x.php/Main_Page

Some games which do not support widescreen by default can be tweaked to support widescreen resolution.
