Which monitor is the best?

[Flisker]

Hey,

I was wondering which monitor you think is the best?

I wanted a 19"+ with a DVI connector for under £120.

Option 1: LG W2242T 22" TFT Monitor 1680x1050 300cd/m2 8000:1 5ms VGA/DVI-D 16:9

Option 2: LG W1942T 19" LCD Monitor 1440x900 300cd/m2 8000:1 5ms VGA/DVI-D

Option 3: Samsung SM932GW 19" TFT Monitor 1440x900 3,000:1 300cd/m2 2ms VGA/DVI-D

orr you could get a 22", with a 1980 x 1080 res andd 2 hdmi ports for like only 135 from ebuyer *whistles*

[Berch]

For me it has to be option 1.

Looks nice as well so go for it.

mates got one, I've seen it in action and its nothing short of beautiful.

Don't forget to rave on COD4 as soon as you get the monitor if you do even before you open the box and plug it in you have to play COD4 on it and call me first so we can have a game.

Either one of the Samsungs, one has an awesome contrast ratio, yet the other has an awesome response time - so either one!

And to whoever voted the LG one, seriously, look at the specs...

I voted the LG one along with someone else by the looks of it because the specs aint TERRIBLE and the Samsung ones look like they was designed by E.T.

In fairness in most cases a moniter is just a moniter, so go for the cheapest/biggest. Most the specs that count are pretty much the same accross the board and most of the improvments on em generally go beyoned what the human eye can detect anyway "/

Very true however I only trust known brands.

then again you also got to remeber that some cheaper brands are just as good quality as Known brands.

You should check their panel types, TN is ****.

Show me a computer moniter that doesn't use a TN panel and doesn't cost the Earth. TN panels aren't so bad these days.

[Recursion]

Samsung and Dell monitors generally don't if you go for the right ones :P

After talking with various people I have just bought the 1st monitor (LG 22"). It will be here tomorrow and I will post in the Setup thread as well. I went for that monitor because I have had a LG Monitor before and it was fantastic and also the fact this monitor is 600:1 contrast ratio and a 8ms response time so I think I will see a dramatic improvement with this other monitor. I will set it up in Dual screen for more desktop space.

[N!ck]

Good choice.

If the 2 monitors are too different, it'll start to bug the hell out of you because one will have a good contrast ratio and one will be ass (it happened with mine, I couldn't use the old 19" I had).

Also a 600:1 contrast ratio is pretty poor. However I hope you will be happy with it!

I wonder if it will bug the hell out of me? Only time will tell and yea 600:1 contract ratio is very poor for a Dell monitor. To be honest I thought this monitor had a nice HD looking picture on it.

What they show you on the monitor and what it actually displays as are 2 different things ;)

I've actually got option 1, it's been superb but I'd go with the one someone linked to earlier, the fujistu siemens one.

[Flisker]

Right I have the monitor now all set up and holy **** it is massive compared to my 17" LMAO

I really don't understand why you chose this monitor, with a 600:1 contrast ratio and an 8ms response time... :S

That's my Dell 17" one this LG 22" has 8000:1 contrast ratio and a 5ms response time.

I just read my post I done and I can now see that it makes no sense :P

Oh, fair enough then. :P

[The Professor]

I have an acer with a 2000:1 contrast ration and a Dell with a pants contrast ratio and jewbear got it spot on; it bugs the hell out of me! Good luck with it though!

[Flisker]

It's not really bugging me :S I don't look at the other one much so it doesn't matter.
