Pointers for Choosing a LCD Monitor

[vaderpro]

Check the net for reviews. Check this site for reviews. Samsung or Viewsonic all the way, but stay away from the VX924 Viewsonic for now; it needs work. The Samsung 930b or 913t has better specs than the one you listed. Also, the Hyundai L90d+ is great.

always check for reviews by REAL people not manufacturers. reviews tell you the real performance not just the theoretical performance. 12ms or below for games is reccomended. viewing angle i believe is an important factor.

The philips and hyundai links are the same item.

The Hyundai has better specs (better contrast ratio.) compared to the Philips. I don't really like Philips, as I have had a not as great experience with them.

The Samsung has the worse specs, but I have always like them.

My friend has a Hyundai CRT monitor, and has no problems with it.

Don't buy Acer. Buy Dell or Samsung.

Ive got an Acer and its great. Was advertised as 12ms but when i got it there was a huge 8ms sticker on the box No dead pixels either.

im guessing you got lucky because some guy screwed up and lost his job by selling you the wrong one

The Link for the Hyandai:

iF MONEY IS NOT THAT BIG A DEAL THIS IS THE BEST: its a va panel, way better viewing angles than the hyundai and out performs it in games.

See the latency of the Vp191b; under 15ms steady.

The hyundai goes up to 27ms.

Its just how manufactuers are marketing these days. Those 8ms statements are not completely true.

Is that hyundai you listed in american dollars??

 

[diabloII]

no, that hyundai is in australian dollars

and that samsung should be fine
