Recently got a 22" big brother of one of the ones on this thread, the LQ W2252TQ. This comes at the end of a line of extremely satisfactory LG monitors over the years.

Re: TFT Monitor Recomendations?

It does look nice, I just wonder if I would put up with a smaller monitor to get a bigger resolution.

HHHmmm

Re: TFT Monitor Recomendations?

Well I was thinking of using my TV as a TV instead of my monitor and getting a ncie 24inch screen. But 32 to 24 is a lot of acerage to loose when you need it.

They were taken with my phone, I understand what you mean though, you have to be sat in front of it to appreciate just how good it is. But £140 for a samsung with these specs is a steal. £151.00 inc next day delivery.

Oh, what's up with my flag? And that isn't cake.

Re: TFT Monitor Recomendations?

Was in a PCWorld today (just looking) - and looked at that Samsung T220 - looked ok - but thought it was a bit plastic looking and it wobbled around on it's stand.

Been put of that Samsung for those reasons...

So it might be nice Dell or HP screen - they appear to have a better build quality!

Re: TFT Monitor Recomendations?

Isn't the problem with both Dell or HP though that they don't make them themselves a such, so you don't know exactly what you're getting? If you're lucky the components inside, are good ones from one of the better makes of screens, if you're unlucky they older components, or from a lesser manufacturer?

I think they are made by samsung (the panels, anyway) and sometimes Philips.

I think there are only a few manufacturers that produce the actual TFT panels - but it's the other companies that put together the electronic gubbins that drive the panel and get the best out of it.

It's sometime those other bits of electronics that let the whole panel down - performance wise...
