Which 21in LCD Monitor or above to choose.
My monitor has finally come to the end of its day' and I'm after new one.I'm using a nvidia Geforce 7600gt and would like a flat screen to go with it .Bassed in the Midlands and dont mind travelling a bit,so any suggestions would be appreciated.
This is my choice up to now . http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...-006-BE&tool=3 Thanks in advance .:) |
Re: Which 21in LCD Monitor or above to choose.
I'd be inclined to want a DVI interface, with more & more peripherals coming with HDMI outputs, VGA D-Sub, only won't be very 'future proof'
http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx...1109&InMerch=1 in similar price bracket or even http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx...1109&InMerch=1 although it is smaller... I haven't tried either of these, btw, so I'm just thinking out loud, rather than making a recommendation. ;) |

DVI,that is not something I had thought about,that has made me think more about what to go for ....thank you

Re: Which 21in LCD Monitor or above to choose.
errrrrrm doubt it
Edit I dont know dvi scales to hdmi and dvi also scales to vga so maybe it could happen the other way Prices have come down a lot now I paid 280 quid id buy one of what you linked to if I was in the mkt now :) |

Re: Which 21in LCD Monitor or above to choose.
yeah I did have that info in my head from somewhere. Thought was was something on about being implemented into vista. Maybe later on HD DVD players and Blu Ray. Hopefully them very clever code writers will suss a firmware block. I do not know if the updatable firmware via media has been inplemented into existing drives though ?

I've got my eye on this one but it might be a bit overkill-ish
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=408880 It's had one or 2 decent reviews sweeping through google. |

Is the one I got, but I've just realised you want 21 ins not 19. Oh well |

Hey there - I recently purchased a 21" gateway monitor, which is hd ready and hdcp compliant, I use it to view hd on the pc and the v+ box via hdmi. It comes with quite a few connections allowing for furture technology, i.e. component, svideo, vga and most impotantly DVI which supports hd. The picture quality in both it's native resolution of 1680x1050 and HD resolutions upto 1080i, are pretty impressive. all for a reasonable price of £299 (Comet/Staples)See below link:

Most if not all 22" TFT monitors are TN based panels, google it to see if this panel will affect you.
Off the top of my head, less viewing angle and tilted up/down you get loss of colour. The Gateway one has had bad reviews compared to the £350 beast from Samsung (SM215TW) same panel - S-PVA and I think Comet don't sell the Gateway anymore. |

Re: Which 21in LCD Monitor or above to choose.
i recently bought the belinea 22" model Linkage
Max res 1680 * 1050 VGA only... It's cheap - i paid £156 and it's great for gaming. It has some light bleed round the edges of the panel but no ghosting in games/films. It's very bright too and colour levels are fine for my needs. Unless you're a pro graphics designer type bod then i'd defo recommend it. As for DVI/HDCP/drm stuff - at this price who cares? - it's gonna be a few years (if) before the drm side takes off and at that point i'll get a bigger screen anyways... hope that helps... PS. its MASSIVE!!!! :D |
Re: Which 21in LCD Monitor or above to choose.
to bright is a bad thing. My screen is bright and after using it for a couple of months I had tremendous eye strain. They actually hurt ,turning the brightness down a lot helped and now my eyes are fine
