Re: TFT Time
 

Hello all,

Spotted this tft on Aria today

19" Digimate L-1916D TFT with DVI

£179.98 With Vat.

www.aria.co.uk

It looks good spec wise and everything else and would leave me the cash to have the dead pixel check. And according to the customer comments section is 16ms response time.

Any thoughts and ideas? I am buying this Wednesday because someone already is coming for this aging 17inch monitor for a cheap build they are doing. So I need to be sure I am buying the right monitor for me £210.

Thanks and I do not mind waiting while it arrives, so long as I know I am getting a top quality tft.

I'm sure you probably realise this, but try to do whatever you can to take a look at the same make and model in the flesh before you buy.

Stick its make/model review in Google and see if there is any decent feedback.

Re: TFT Time
 

will your graphics card be good enough to drive such a big monitor , just a thought :)

Re: TFT Time
 

Is that true?

I have never read any proof about bigger monitors need better cards.

I'm not saying I disbelieve you, it's just that my own gut instinct tells me that it should make no difference.

Re: TFT Time
 

yes, it will.

the limitation is graphics memory, but 8 meg is plenty for a screen buffer (even @ 2048x1536, 32bpp you only need 12 meg)

Re: TFT Time
 

ummmmm , just checked and my largest output is 1280 X 1024 @ 60 hz , maybe i am getting confused now , i know the refresh rate doent come into it :confused:

Re: TFT Time
 

refresh could be limited by the gpu, if it was over about 10 years old... it'll be a monitor limitation

Re: TFT Time
 

I have a new pc to run this with a Ati X700pro Pci-Express card. :)

Re: TFT Time
 

Yes but a 21" monitor at 1024x768 doesn't need a better graphics card if the previous monitor was 15" at 1024x768 does it?

Re: TFT Time
 

:|

I guess not, but I prefer to buy a tft, I am pretty sure my new pc can handle a large tft, if I am unsure however I will buy a large crt.

I do not wish to have ghosting or dead pixels. That matter does concern me.

Re: TFT Time
 

Aria are doing 17" TFT for about £100 at the moment.

Re: TFT Time
 

unlikely, but possible... a 21" monitor will almost certainly have a much higher horizontal refresh than a 15".

many older 15" monitors can only run 1024x768@60 Hz, whereas a 21" could probably mange 120Hz, maybe more. for me, <75Hz is unbearable, gives me a headache in minutes...

Re: TFT Time
 

With under 16ms response time? and about 1280 by 1024 resoutlion at above 72hz with dvi interface ( cable supplied ) and decent brightness and contrast ratios?

:LOL: You don't want much do you :)
