New Monitor!

[trakaill]

get the first one its the exact same thing as what i have and i love it

 

also if your going to use your xbox or something that use HDMI use it on a nice 40inch family room tv rather than a computer monitor

my message to everyone who insists HDMI is needed

 

Yes I should have mentioned I do have a 32" LCD TV to play hdmi devices like ps3 or xbox...I guess the question is when I later upgrade my GPU I know newer ones use..is it really usefull. or do yu need super human eyes to see it?

Id like it to be wide screen (most of them are), the res. will depend on the size so I want something between 20 and 24 again depending on the price..

I dont know the difference between mva ips and tn but Im reading about it now!

 

 

 

 

yeah I was looking at them too

 

I just know that when I was looking for a TV the difference between a 32" 720p and a 32" 1080p samsung LCD would need a super human to discern it yet the price was ridiculously higher on the 1080p which is quite useless at 32" and that was confirmed by most vendors...so bottom line I dont want to spend money for something I dont need !

 

 

Okay this is kinda freaky, I wrote up and posted a good explanation of all this stuff and the difference between 720P/1080P and why that salesman was basically lying through his teeth (summary: my monitor from 1996 does a higher resolution than 720P, go for 1080P)

 

No idea where it went, it apparently wasn't deleted by an admin because that leaves a notice and I've got no PMs or anything, so here's the link to the different panels: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1039222

 

Summary of important things: Those #ms response times aren't necessarily tested by any standardized method, they can literally just make that up if they want, computer monitors are much sharper and smaller pixels since they aren't built to be used from across the room but rather right up in front of your face, computer monitors do 1920x1200 (1200P) instead of 1920x1080, and TN panels are pretty nasty man.

 

And to any forum mods: Seriously dudes if you guys did delete that stuff rather than a database funky happening or something let me know why, if I don't even get a PM or something on why I don't know even know if it was just lag preventing it from ever getting posted to the server to begin with.

not all do 1200 . the one i linked to has over 40 native resolutions, and its max/native reverts back to 10:9 for 1920x1080

[Shadowex3]

An LCD only has 1 native resolution, all others are just proportional to that so that it either scales properly across the fixed pixels or sits centered evenly across the fixed pixels. Only CRTs can have multiple "native" resolutions in that they are run at a minimum of 85hz.

out of the two I had in my third post which one is better you think ...I dont do any graphic design...gaming, surfing, movies from time to time...

[Shadowex3]

I'll give you the specific reasons I'm wary of either one of those:

 

1. They only list "dynamic" contrast ratio which, for reasons I'll explain when not cooking or you can google, is basically a bullshit number.

2. They both claim response times so low that I wouldn't trust them.

3. They are both TN panels. That means Twisted Nematic, the link I posted to [H]ardforum explains why that's bad.

4. 1920x1080 @60hz is low refresh rates and a low resolution for that size.

 

and lastly for the price of either of those you can get screens that do 1920x1200 or higher. Take This 23" samsung for example. Still a TN panel I think but at that resolution likely a much better quality one.

 

What you need to do is go someplace like OCforums or [H]ardforum and ask them to recommend you a good non-TN panel LCD monitor. I guarantee you for the prices you're looking at you can have something better than those.

 

Hell man just look at newegg:

So go ask the flatpanel experts over there. They're both very friendly forums that are quite welcoming to newcomers with legit questions like yours.
