Consider that it's only 1.5W, you can't really expect it to pump more juice could you? VGA/DVI doesn't carry audio signal, only HDMI does. Come to think of it, why would they setup an audio input port instead of output? I just don't see the point of it...

If you've seen what an IPS panel can offer, then you'll know what I mean. haha.. iMac's display for example.




i read that it's cheaper to make also.



maybe i'm used to my laptop's colour.. which is more natural to me.. or maybe due to the not so good grayscale performance

Probably that's why I mentioned in my my previous post, the grey looks a bit.. weird. Greyscale performance, if i'm not wrong, is the levels/depths shades of grey..

EDIT: i actually agree with the review.

erm, computer output the sound, then monitor input the sound.. doesn't that make sense?

ERM, so what is with the dell's s2409w problem? lag audio issue? so if i use external speaker wil it have laggy audio?

I already bought h233h bmid version, glossy screen, hdmi cable all comes along, never test the audio, but all i can say about this, the grey colour is a bit funny, on my old 22 samsung black is black, this one black may be grey, hmmp i have to use nvidia control panel to calibrate the colour, or else zzz.. lolx others than that this monitor is ok.

hmm h233h c or bmid is glossy ? o.o
btw where did you bought your lcd ?

but very confusing now, i also dunno what is the actual picture colour, grey or black. zzzzz lol

or maybe this monitor is showing the correct colour, that my old monitor can't differenciate between grey and black ^^

quoting from a previous post

hmm but blueapple's one is Abmid and it's glossy D:

you actually reminded me about the nvidia cpanel. haha.. the monitor itself i tried adjusting already.. but forgot that i can try adjusting from the nvidia cpanel.

hmm. i think it looks better now.. nvidia's setting: brightness 50% > 65% .. contrast 50% > 25%..

EDIT: needa play with the settings more.. lol.. too bright for my background now.. in windows seem fine.
EDIT 2: bah. not really expert in doing all the colours adjustment. set back to normal.. ^^"

saw this Dell S2309W 23-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor for RM599!!!

ohh means yrs is C ?
haha okay.

@blueapple
yours is abmid ?
and where you got your lcd from
thanks

What if I'm using HDMI cable, what will that be? I would prefer it to have an output port whereby the sound will be 'redirected' from PS3 > LCD, then LCD > external sound system.

Added on May 3, 2009, 4:29 pmBTW, is the gray issue serious? Will it affect gaming or picture images?

This post has been edited by D.Sync: May 3 2009, 04:29 PM

that would be quite too redundant to have an audio-out on a monitor just because of the input audio from HDMI.

well, the solution is to set from ps3, output sound through other sources other than HDMI. haha.. i know it's simpler to ps3>lcd>speaker right away.. but it's not built for this purpose.. wanna play budget, gotta compromise something.

ps3>hdmi>lcd - video
ps3>av>speakers (y-connecter if needed) - audio


i watched videos with it, other than being a lil bright.. the grey issue is not an issue here.

so no comment on the 2309w?

FYI, I even tested playing ps2 game, beatmania (or call it o2jam-like-game for those who dunno), using tvbox with this acer monitor.

everything seems fine. the game is still playable, didn't notice lagness in gameplay.

no hdmi features and others compared to s2409w

The only issue for S2409W is the audio lag issue, which I don't know how does it occur though, as it doesn't have internal speaker.

BTW nobody using BenQ G2411HD? I couldn't even find a single user review on that one.

yes got bmid printed, and mine this is glossy screen with 2ms response time. later i take some picture and post up.

ohh okay.
where you got it from ?
