The Benq monitors were selling at below RM600 for the while now. With both LG and Samsung are now selling 22" models below RM700 and RM650, I thought it would be good to compare the models manufacturer panel specs to check on that are causing the price variants. Hopefully, these info can be used to make an informed 22" monitor purchase and that we wont feel cheated.

After my little research, i found that the even though all models are listed at 22" at LY price lists, not all of the LCD panels are 22". The brightness, native resolution and response time also vary.

I hope the mods are okay with this thread as i think it should stand up alone and not get buried under hundreds of posts in the LCD monitor discussion thread!

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

http://www.benq.com.my/products/LCD/?produ...=specifications

BenQ T221WA

Native resolution = 1680 x 1050
Response time = 5ms
Screen Size = 22.0"
Brightness = 300cd/m²
Does not have DVI connector.

LG 226WTQ listed at 22"

Screen Size = 22''
Brightness = 300cd/m²

http://my.lge.com/prodmodeldetail.do?actTy...2252TQ&model=14

hmmmmm at least there's some research done.

maybe people can contribute about more monitors and their price / specs n stuff.

then we can pin it up, sorta like a buying guide?
or is there such a thing already?
*
my aim of creating this thread is to educate people before they get a 22" LCD monitor. 22" monitors are cheap and the prices are not that much of difference now. The prices are like 19" CRT monitors 4 years ago tongue.gif

the specs can also potential buyers to narrow specs that they think that are not important to them so that they can ignore when deciding on which model to get.

for example. if your monitor will be in a "brightness controlled" room, lets say, if they can minimize the amount of sunlight coming to the room by adjusting a sun shield curtain or the monitor will be placed in a dark room, then they can ignore the brightness feature of a monitor. You need your monitor as bright as you can get when you are in a very bright room.

secondly, the connectors for example. If you dont want a digital connection, analogue vga connection works perfectly for you, than the BenQ 22" with only analogue input suits you fine.

the reason that i compare these four models is because these are the cheapest 22" monitors in the Malaysian market. I didnt compare them to the more expensive once because its unfair as some of the more expensive models may be using sharper and more expensive panels.

These cheaper models are no mean for graphic designers. These models are more people who just want a larger screen and screw everything else. laugh.gif u know to watch 350MB DiVX tv series and TVB series, watching U-Tube and advertisement plagued MTV series brows.gif brows.gif

Why LG resolution is only 1440x900?

omg = i know something is happening in the background causing the sudden drop of 22" monitors. This is the reason:
QUOTE
BenQ has recently launched a new range of Full HD 16:9 LCD monitors to the market. Featuring 100% mapping to 1080p content and 5Gbps data transit, the new models are spread across BenQ’s E Series and M Series LCD displays. This range also includes what BenQ claims to be the world’s first 21.5” Full E2200HD LCD monitor, which will be targeted to gamers, movie enthusiasts, families, and professionals alike.

    "Future-proof HDMI and DVI-D (both with HDCP) deliver easy connection to HD gaming consoles, Blu-ray players and set-top boxes.  Gamers and movie fans are catered to as well with headphone jack, D-Sub, and super-smooth picture quality via the fast 2ms GTG response time.  Senseye+photo Human Vision Technology, a proprietary digital image enhancement engine, additionally fine-tunes depth, clarity, and boldness with five preset modes – Standard, Dynamic, Photo, Movie and sRGB.  Exceptional dark detail definition is afforded by a high 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, which automatically adjusts the display’s backlight to optimize light levels for every scene.  The sophisticated M Series in particular also sports a 2.0M webcam, integrated speakers, and microphone to make internet chatting more fun and spontaneous."

BenQ 16:9 1080p Full HD LCD displays are available now and prices range from RM689.00 to RM1,500.00.



There will only be three 22: FULL HD LCD with the launch of E2200HD, T2200HD monitor. So RM689 is basically the price for the 1080p T2200HD 22" monitors shocking.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif Out of the three both are with HDMI1.3 the most updated HDMI. T2200 only has Analogue and DVI = still at SRP RM689, still value for money laugh.gif

How on earth LG and Samsung's non FULL HD 22" going to compete with this model at only RM689 sweat.gif sweat.gif Expect LG and Samsung prices to drop further!

T2200HD = full HD, no HDMI Dynamic contrast 10K http://www.benq.com.my/products/LCD/?produ...=specifications
M2200HD= Full HD, HDMI1.3, Dynamic contrast 10K http://www.benq.com.my/products/LCD/?produ...=specifications
E2200HD = FUll HD, HDMI1.3, Dynamic contrast 10K http://www.benq.com.my/products/LCD/?produ...=specifications

TAKE NOTE THAT THESE monitors are cheaper than other as some of the monitor expensive 24" has 1920 x 1200 resolution. All the 22" BenQ monitors listed have 1920 x 1080p (basically FULL HD TV's resolution).
