How many people will be viewing that screen? If more than 4 then you should definitely not consider monitor which using TN panel technology as it has a poor viewing angle. Otherwise any TN panel will do.

I think Samsung has good reputation, if you got the budget then go for it.

Care to take any hi-quality shot of it at different angle? How's your user experience with it so far? Satisfied?

Perhaps increasing the DPI will help?

Hopefully you won't see any dead pixel.

BTW there's also a case where you buy something with a price, then found another exact product selling with price much cheaper than what you paid. There's nothing wrong about it, as long as the difference is not beyond RM 100. Other than that you'll be fine.

Put simply, let's consider a scenario whereby BioShock 2 is just being released at RM250. You bought it at its release date with the price. And the next thing you know, 2 months later the price is cut to RM180. You feel regret for buying it too early. But what you DIDN'T notice is that you get a chance to play the game before other who bought it with the later price. You might even showing off your unlockables and teasing your friend (which bought later on) with your accomplishment and experience with it. Well, that's what I did and this situation hold true in iPhone gaming industry. The pricing for app is unstable.

The seller for S2409W still haven't reply me yet. And yes I would drop it off my consideration if the sound lag issue still persist. Some even claims that Dell is trying to clear the stock so that they can come out with a new model line LOL. H233H, on the other hand, just released on January (I think) so its future stand is still unpredictable. So far I only heard minor backlight bleeding issue, nothing more.

Previously I had also consider ViewSonic VX2433WM, but drop it off since it has input selecting issue. It just can't remember the last input selected (well, sometimes it does, but on random occasion), although the manufacturer claim it can. It does have various input, including component which other LCD I mentioned didn't have. The main point here is, you'll need to have VGA input (eg laptop) to access the main menu, then only you can select which source you want to input. But I highly doubt I'll be using it since my main usage would be DVI-D and HDMI (Acer 5920G Laptop). Wonder what's it like seeing two Acer 'brother' working together LOL!

The drawback for H223H is the viewable screen, which is 50cm compared to other 24" or maybe 23.6" model which has a viewable size of 52cm+ horizontally. Aside from that its a good choice.

It'll only be days ahead until I make up my final point, since I'm still on my exam. Well, will update my choice once I get over with it. Until then, it would be either S2409W or H233H.

The main reason I don't like glossy is that it acts like a mirror. Feel weird seeing my image while viewing movie. While other like it, especially while watching movie, I don't. BTW the 5920G's I'm using now has glossy screen, which I don't like. Anyway it isn't that reflective.

What's your friend thinking of the S2409W he got. Any - comment?

Thanks for sharing. From the angle you shot I can see that it has a nice viewing angle. I also notice your plant is struggling to survive inside the room there.

Seriously, is it that bright in the preset mode? Guess 40,000:1 DCR play a part here.

From a review I saw on YouTube, the backlight is bleeding from the lower part of the screen. You might need to check with it. How about sound output when you connect it via HDMI? Is the audio jack port works well?

What if you want to output the sound to your sound system?

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.

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

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

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

Most people prefer 16:9 aspect ratio for HD movie and console (PS3/XBox 360). With it, you won't see any black bars, provided that the movie is in its 1080p resolution (1920x1080).

Added on May 3, 2009, 11:48 amHow did he output the sound? I wonder. He's using HDMI-HDMI port, yes? If so, how did he output the sound to external sound system? S2409W doesn't have internal speaker right? Then why is the audio lag issue occur?

If you read through previous post you'll know that you can output the sound from PS3 via AV cable to your sound system. There is another alternative though. As you may know, HDMI DO carries both video and audio signal while DVI only carries audio signal. You can buy a DVI-HDMI cable, connect it from PS3 to the H233H, then using the composite cable (Red/White) and connect it with your sound system. PS3 will disable the sound output via HDMI and carry them out via composite cable by default (I think?). Else just go to the main menu and configure it.

Added on May 3, 2009, 12:13 pmBTW nobody is using BenQ G2411HD? The price is much expensive than ViewSonic VX2433WM, H233H and even S2409W. Is it better?

I'm one of those who had been told that higher price often means higher quality. Wonder is this statement hold true when it comes to LCD monitor.

It's either input or output purpose, which I don't know. Need confirmation from H233H user.

I suggest you to spent more time researching more info about them. BTW if you're considering VX2433WM, you might keep in mind that it couldn't remember the last input source selected. To access the main menu (which apparently is the only way to switch to different input source), you'll need to connect it via any VGA cable.

BTW H233H is 23", 50cm measured in horizontal compared to 23.6" (52cm) and 24" (53cm). I think 2 or 3 cm won't be noticeable.

Added on May 3, 2009, 1:16 pmI seems to forgot about this. Is H233H C glossy or H223H Amid?

This post has been edited by D.Sync: May 3 2009, 01:16 PM

Here's a good review I found for H233H bmid. It seems that the cons is poor grayscale performance, which I didn't quite understand well.
