I need suggestion for 19" wide screen LCD. My requirement
- good performance
- lowest rated power consumption
- good price, cheaper better
- good reliability
- good warranty/after sales support

I'll be doing graphics editing and design. No other major task besides some office work and surfing. That's all.

Suggest me a model and its estimated street price.

Some brands in my consideration are BenQ, Acer, Dell, Samsung, but no specific models in mind.

update: any opinion on Dell E207WFP?

I'm not a professional graphics designer. I'm just a freelance photographer, but I do some little designs too.

At the moment, I'm looking for a not-so-hardcore LCD monitor as I'm just starting my business. Those LCD monitors we normally use for home is acceptable for me, as long as it has reasonable good colour accuracy (I can always calibrate though). High refresh rate is not very important.... I think around 5ms is already enough.

Do you think E207WFP is good enough for my needs. Spec is more or less similar to 2007WFP (or did I miss anything?). I'm looking at a budget of RM800 max for 19" or 20" monitor.

If I get a Dell, I would've just order it online. There are limited choices (plus overpricing) for computer stuffs in my hometown.

And I'm not a rich daddy's kid. So... uber expensive LCD is out of my budget.

Nice info. I'll have some read before throwing out more questions later.

DVI provides much sharper display, no?

anyway... for 22", which of these more recommended
- Samsung 2232BW (cheapest here RM930)
- LG W2242T (cheapest here RM946)
- Fujitsu FA-22W1B (cheapest here RM899)

alternatively I'd just get a 19" LG W1942T for RM679 and spend more on the rig. This monitor also displays 16.7mil colours right?

Requirements still the same... building a rig mainly for photo editing.

Is Samsung 226BW better than 2232BW?

ah...can get hp 2207 i guess.... seems to be one of the best in its class

not yet, still thinking

Almost ordered a Dell E228WFP. Looks like a good monitor, accurate grey colour representation, but only 16.2mil colours.
But saw somebody selling HP L2208W. Hard to find info about this monitor, seems like a new model I guess? I wonder how this compare to HP W2207h. It has 16.7mil colours, based on spec la.

oops didn't see that
i tot i saw somewhere some review said 16.2

i guess i'll just get this dell then

ah.... i see

anyway just ordered dell E228WWFP a few moments ago... thru dell website. RM859 only including doorstep delivery

what do u mean by few month?

haha.... got my DELL E228WFP
it's awesome.... colour seems to be quite accurate right out the box (checked with LAGOM LCD test.... seems good).... and most important, the grey colour is grey and not bluish!

no lah. i was using crt. i saw on some reviews on the net.... many lcd colour the grey is not so grey... more like bluish or magenta-ish.
