Guys, newbie in LCD here.

Need recommendation from fellow experts here as I need a LCD. Budget around 700-800.

Main purpose of it is for my photo editing. So just wondering what to mean by contrast ratio ? Is it higher contrast ratio, the better the LCD it is ?

Anyway, hope fellow experts can enlighten my doubts. Thanks and have a nice day

sure you can at normal uses.
Maybe little lag for new games

Thanks for your patient. I'm not a hardcore gamer though. Just hope that this gc and s2409w can serve game like c&c 3 smoothly at 1080i

izzit c&c 3 is Red alert 3?
maybe that will lag if you use high AA and details. try use normal for better gaming. becoz mine also using not all at high reso 4X AA only

is there any LCD monitor that can be connected to PSP (slim) to play game??? wha type of cable that we need...

kindly suggest me one lcd monitor capable of that...thanks...

i support the samsung and LG lcd screen... which is 19 inches.

Yes. What is AA actually and where do i get to adjust it. In the game option part??

At your budget there are many good LCD out ther. See for yourself. go take a look at samsung product, it has very good colour. try find 16:10 ratio monitor.

If you're working as a photo editor/graphics designer, I will suggest you not to get any LCD right now with your budget. You need at least a 8bit PVA or IPS panel for color accuracy. If photo editing is nothing major and you do not have to be too particular about color accuracy, DELL S2409W gets my vote.

You can't tint your LCD dude. Why on earth do you want to tint your LCD? Tinting a LCD won't make your matte screen becomes glossy screen.

Acer P244W ? not Samsung.
That lcd very expensive... wonder why?

kianwee, I believe he mean put screen protector to get some tinting power.

I'm not a photo editor nor graphics designer but I need a good LCD to edit photos taken by me.
Dell is better than all the 3 Acer models ? Please enlighten

Sorry. Typo. Any recommendation ?

DELL in terms of build quality and better warranty. I would definitely avoid Acer, they are not good in anything.

I believe the most popular LCD brand here is either DELL or Samsung.

Which one do u guys recommend?
DELL S2409W only 1920x1080!!
Samsung 2433BW No HDMI!
Samsung T240
BenQ V2400W 2ms!!

i suppose most of u will recommend 2409w bcoz of the bang for the buck.. but if price isnt an issue do u guys recommend any other of these?
n oh yes, purpose of the monitor is alot of gaming, so i guess dont want ghosting or sort, and a little hd movies

*typo*
