confirm got HDMI port. Stupid DELL did not include that in the spec. but if you click on the feature pictures, there are HDMI, DVI and VGA connectors.

consider this . on a 16:10 monitor, when watching 1080p videos/movies or games - you get black bars on top and bottom of the LCD because of the extra 120pix. with a 16:9 monitor - you dont see the two black bars - its full screen.

ya! take photos - lots of them. poison. jangan tak poison !!

me think BenQ just KILLED the need to have a 24" monitor by introducing a 22" with 1080P resolution

in the past - one needs to fork additional few hundreds to get 2" more on a 24". Back then there was the difference of 1920 x 1200 (and/or 1080) resolution vs 1680 x 1050 on 22". Now that Benq has released 1920 x 1080p 22" monitor, the resolution difference is no longer there. BenQ should either increase the $$ for the 22" near to the 24" or 24" 's days are numbered

comments on Dell LCDs. Company bought 5 new LCDs to turn all stations in my department dual-monitor. the one on my station got 1 dead pixel damn annoying! cannot do anything cuz only 1. Its like something is sticking on your monitor and its obvious. maybe few dead pixels at one place

mine was nearly a year when they did the 1 to 1 exchange. They said = the circuit board was totally fried. i smell chemical in my room so no choice - they had to replace it

saw LG 22" selling at ONLI RM640 at The Mines Wonderland the closest to rival Benq's now <>RM590 22" models

Benq G2400W = RM999 nia

HDMI what? APPLE is already whinning about HDMI saying that it cant even transmit resolution to its 30" beyond 1080p monitors Display port is license free and can support higher resolution than HDMI.

me thinking PS4 and XBox 720 will have Display port for gaming beyond FULL HD - literally making Blu-ray - secondary in term of picture quality

since LG and Samsung 22" monitors fell below RM700 this week, i dug a little bit deeper and found these:

Despite all are listed at 22" some with 5ms and some 2ms response time, the actual LCD size and resolution vary

These infos are taken from each manufacturer's Malaysia website.

Priced below RM600,

BenQ G2110W IS NOT 22" as many of the price list in Lowyat put it.

Native resolution = 1680 x 1050
Response time = 5ms
Screen Size = 20.1"
Brightness = 250cd/m²

soo bad !!

extremely expensive - considering 22" = 2" difference is selling nearly 50% cheaper Below RM600 for 22"

lol Samsung has emerged as one of the top notch display panel maker. They were even good with CRT monitors and TVs. three of my ex office banjir in the the CRT because they were put under the aircond and one night, the aircond kencing. The CRTs were put outside to dry. Once they were dried, we turned it on, and they were still working fine

aiyo T2200 = 1080p = i think the price is RM689. This one has no HDMI.

not need for mapping u r using it to view 1080p contents - the panel is 1080p native

24" BenQ G2400W = HDMI 1080p = RM980 nia

22" or BenQ T2200HD also 1080p = NO HDMI, RM689 niah. its up to you if you want to pay RM300 more for the additional 2" in size
