What difference between Dell Ultrasharp with normal one. I'm working a lot with graphic (PS, Illustraotr etc.) Do you think it worth to get it. Aiming for 22".

Time to change my old crt monitor. Well, I have no experience buying a lcd monitor, so can you guys help me suggesting one.

My budget the most is RM900. Mostly I use for internet surfing and desktop publishing (Illustrator, InDesign etc.). So, I'm looking for LCD monitor that can give me clear font, good color, easy on the eyes and durable. Well, I don't know how to read the spec and here the choice is limited. So, before I go to KL, I need to know what I should look for.

Any recommendation? Samsung design look nice.

Waiting for 24" to reach 3 figure. But my CRT monitor currently can't hold long enough and my budget only <1k. Hope, my monitor will hold up till this December.

1920x1080 best for watching movies. That why it comes with HDMI.

But I want 1920X1440 24" lcd monitor. More resolution.

I never use any monitor larger than 17" so 22" already to big for me. But may be after using 22", want more bigger screen.

Yup 21.6" not 22" or 20.1". I just seen it from one shop here.
But I can't see much different between 21.6" and 22" although when put side by side.

So, how is you colleague LCD? This LCD glossy or not? I also tempted .

May be because my lcd is 17", 22" is big enough for me. So now instead of 24", I only aim at good 22" lcd montior.

I believe when your monitor is big, you have to have some distance from monitor when playing game to enjoy all the view. The bigger the size, the longer the distance. I read some of the post by forumer that some are prefer normal viewing than a widescreen when playing fps game.

Want to play PS3 go for larger screen but you already got 42" tv, why want to get larger monitor lcd? 22" is really enough if you already get a lcd tv.

I also tempted with 24" monitor, but after thinking that I also got a lcd tv for movie and game, so why 24"...

Ic... then go 24" la. Or if you already have a lcd monitor and the price of 24" >1.5k better get lcd tv 32". Just my 2 cent.

Of course depend on the budget. Most 32" only have 1366 x 768 like mine. But enough for watching movies and playing games. No blue-ray, of course.

Don’t get me wrong, I said better get 32" if the price of 24" lcd monitor more than 1.5k. So, if the price is below and you can afford them, why not?

Previously I said the larger the screen, the more distant you have to sit from your monitor. So, for console game, better you get an affordable 24” monitor.

Actually I never seen 24" here, so have no experience regarding this. So, not all GC can support 24"? What gc can support them?

Nice information you have there. Thanks.
True, once you got larger monitor, you'll never turn back to smaller size.

If I'm not mistaken, 1920X1080 already a hd resolution. So 1920X1200 will have extra pixel at the top and bottom. If no 1:1 mapping, the picture will stretch to fit the 1920x1200.

I believe Dell S2409W was manufactured solely for HD thus it support HDMI.

May be if you also in the same office I will buy the LCD. So far haven't seen this lcd with my own eye. So, the temptation can be control.

Normal 32" lcd tv not suitable to replace monitor as the resolution is small (1366 x 768) but bigger screen size. The font will be hard to read. I just recommend the 32" if for playing game and movie, not replacing lcd monitor.

Yeah, I'm also want to know what g.c. can run 1920 x 1200? If only for watching movie any g.c can right? Only for playing game I think need high end g.c.

May be because of the design and reputation. I'm also aiming for Samsung.

That's why I said better get lcd tv if want to play games or watching movie. But how about text? Your Aquos TV can display text clearly or not?

Nice comparison. If 2 X 22" need a bigger table also . True that RM1000 is expensive if you thing like that. Hope the 24" price will drop soon.

But I wonder what is the most suitable lcd size for normal pc usage, I means like one size fit all? Like me, my work involve lot of desktop publishing, so larger screen is a must. But still, 22" may occupied some of my table space. Don't know about 24".

I have 32" lcd tv, so if anyone ask if I want to put 32" monitor (if there is one in the future) on my pc table, definitely I said no. May be manufacturer will focus on 22"/24" as the largest screen size for consumer.

terramatora, what are you doing? Try to increase your post count?

Nice to hear that. But my cheap lcd (not fully hd) have problem with text. Text have jagged edge, although readable but not so sharp. But if sit >5ft, has nice look.

No wonder get good image. I'm using Samsung 32". Old model.

Try playing with monitor setting. Last time my dell monitor have blur text (only some text, not all). But I don't about your problem. Seem like only a few pixel problem.
