it works.. plugged to monitor - no sound, unplug, laptop come out sound, plug to speaker, speaker got sound.

not sure got conflict from the monitor detecting sound input or not la.. coz i'm using HDMI..

anyway, currently set to 30% brightness, 50% contrast.. colour temp - cool... still not very satisfying (to me. remember, my requirement is different!). but i think i might stick with this for the moment..

and i got 1 dissatisfaction!!! height is not adjustable T.T
kinda lower than my head/eye level right now. hmmm... but since other equavalent monitors also don't have the height adjustment.. so.. =/

You'll need to fork out additional money to buy an adjustable stand. Use book to stack it if it's too low.

Didn't the audio jack worked? I wonder will there be any sound via PS3 HDMI input.

the sound, i output from my laptop through HDMI and it worked. just the 3.5mm jack i'm not too sure. couldn't get it to work.. lazy to try to get it to work anyway..

What do you meant by that? Didn't quite get it myself.

sound output from PS3's HDMI will work. Just hav to set the PS3 to output the sound tru HDMI. But it's crappy! Set it back to AV and connect it to my speakers @@

laptop > hdmi > monitor

laptop > set playback through hdmi > monitor got sound

laptop > set playback normal > laptop got sound
laptop > set playback normal > plug to speaker > speaker got sound
laptop > set playback normal > plug to monitor > monitor no sound

my guess, probably because the hdmi is plugged to the monitor, so the monitor only detect sound input from HDMI.. but I don't really know.

lazy wanna find out, because i'm not bothered with the built-in speaker.

Sound output through AV? So I guess I can hook up any 3.5mm jack into the PS3 audio port?

AV = the red/white cable la.. ps3 where got 3.5mm port.. haha.. you can get a y-converter though. red/white->3.5mm

Haha, silly question. Perhaps it's midnight and I couldn't think well for what I type. Anyway gonna go sleep now.

haha.. go sleep then. meanwhile i continue surfing with my new monitor..

about the colours setting.. i guess my expectation is too much for a TN panel monitor.. perhaps the only way to meet my requirement, IPS panel.. lol
for a TN panel monitor, i think this monitor is doing quite well.

i just notice samsung have new lcd P2370L
and its diff with P2370 lol~
but same design

hmm btw 24" and 23" is alot of diff ?
just curious xD

difference in pixel bro
if graphic card not good then
it will slow down for bigger screen

pixel no difference, depending on models. now certain 22/23" monitors got 1920x1080 (16:9) already.

a inch smaller lo.. haha

he talking about 23' and 24'
24' is 1920x1200 if im not wrong

now most monitors are moving to 16:9.. cheaper to make. like the dell 24" for example.

no gua.except ur eyes very sharp

i think they're only noticeable if you put them side by side.. i wanted a 24" so much before this. but because of budget.. considered for 22.. which is actually 21.5" (benq e2200hd)... in the end bought this acer's h233h.. 23". haha.. satisfied with the size la.. one inch difference, as long as it's full hd. pixel matters more to me.

ohh, alright.
any cons for your acer h233h ?
