Hi everyone,

I'm hunting for a 22" LCD Widescreen... Preferably full 1080.
Do you guys have any suggestion? I've read few topics here, but a lot just based on 1brand user. So i would like to get opinion from those who have experience at other brand also.

So far i'm getting:
1. Samsung 2233 sw (although it's only 21.5 :-(
2. BenQ T2200HD
3. Asus VK222H


Will u recommend any of those? Or u have something else in mind?

Thanks lots....!!!!!

ic, so you are saying, any of those will do? Then samsung will do I guess

I thought the BenQ was a 16:9 (read from a review, can't recall the site) Doesn't matter then

Ok, Samsung 2233sw (2333sw is tempting also ) seems like a good choice, now I got another one: DELL S2409WFP (HDMI input, gosh....)

Between that two, which one will you take?

Hm, yeah, how about the quality?Can it match 2333sw? Nothing against Dell, it's just quite unbelievable 24" with RM650

@Zhou >> How's the Dell's contrast and sharpness? U r using is now rite?

@kianwee >> dude, can u give me any solution on Samsung 2333sw or Dell S2409W? hehe... Looks like you know a thing or two about LCD.

ic... even though the dynamic contrast ratio is 20,000:1 to 1,000:1 for Samsung?

Thx mate, big help there...

I was confused about that also but thx to all the inputs, I've chosen Dell (but haven't buy yet, end of month )

About the Contract ratio, I got a detail explanation from cloudwan


Contrast Ratio's

The ratio of the luminosity of the brightest and the darkest color the system is capable of producing simultaneously at any instant of time is called static@typical contrast ratio, while the ratio of the luminosity of the brightest and the darkest color the system is capable of producing over time is called dynamic contrast ratio.

Dynamic contrast ratio

A notable recent development in the LCD technology is the so called "dynamic contrast" (DC). When there is a need to display a dark image, the display would underpower the backlight lamp (or decrease the aperture of the projector's lens using an iris), but will proportionately amplify the transmission through the LCD panel. This gives the benefit of realizing the potential static contrast ratio of the LCD panel in dark scenes, when the image is watched in a dark room. The drawback is that if a dark scene does contain small areas of superbright light, image quality may be over exposed.

The trick for the display is to determine how much of the highlights may be unnoticeably blown out in a given image under the given ambient lighting conditions.

Brightness, as it is most often used in marketing literature, refers to the emitted luminous intensity on screen measured in candela per square metre (cd/m2). The higher the number, the brighter the screen.

It is also common to market only the dynamic contrast ratio capability of a display (when it is better than its static contrast ratio), which should not be directly compared to the static contrast ratio. A plasma display with a static 5000:1 contrast ratio will show superior contrast to an LCD display with 5000:1 dynamic and 1000:1 static contrast ratio when the input signal contains full range of brightnesses from 0 to 100% simultaneously. However they will be on par when input signal ranges only from 0 to 20% brightness.


Soooo it means that everytime it would be much wiser to look at the typical/static contrast ratio comparing to dynamic contrast ratio, the higher the number doesn't mean it would be much better.. It's all just number games by the manufacturer/seller to fool uneducated buyers..

Hope these help

Hohoho, thx to kianwee & davidmak & cloudwan for the inputs and details... So might as well get the 24" with HDMI rather than a 23", "15,000:1" but no HDMI....

Good for you, I can only buy this LCD end of month Hopefully still have stock with same price

Just helping here, there's a UK thread about S2409w, for those of you who want to see the picture and user's opinion, can go and read them HERE

Hopefully it helps...

that's PC game?

how bout the desktop pic? hehe...thx lot man... so troublesome

Anyone has see Dell S2409W's Gradient Banding?
I'm afraid it's not smooth as I'll be using it for Design work also...

Thx bunch...

What if I want to do design work; Photoshop? Is Dell s2409w good enough? I'm only afraid the color is not smooth, especially the gradient, i'll be in big sh** if the LCD can't show the true gradient banding...

anyone can help on this? rite now i'm thinking about s2409w or 2333sw

aiks, IPS panel, more expensive? darn...!! just my luck then..

thx dude...

yeah, i guess i'll stay with Dell then... can't afford IPS now...

yeah, but it's not 1080, and it's a 6ms response time (if the info i got is correct)... Anyway, it's still another week before i can buy hehehe...

hey, if u want, there's one selling HERE ...

Thx for the input dude...

any recommended LCD from you dude? but i'm in budget actually, not more than 750 , i wanna get 23" or 24"
how about Samsung 2333sw?

yeah, totally agree with this one....

I was thinking about the S2409W, but since I never look at it on spot, so I think I'll pass this, and go for 2333sw.

I've been using Samsung 17" (the old one, 17sn something, can't recall) for 3,4 years now, and although the quality is not as good as Dell UltraSharp (using it here at office), but I'm quite happy with it so far...

Also, S2409W is a full HD 16:9, might feels weird after using 16:10 all my life I still prefer working with 16:10...

So, I guess better take the safe way rather than gamble on S2409W.

But for gaming and movie purpose solely, I'll say the S2409W is the best bargain and price u can get anywhere now...IMHO
