| 1128055 | 2010-08-16 00:21:00 | As I said....Samsung LED LCD\TV 1920x1080 200hz refresh!, thats 3d speed, and has HDMI however!, 3d doesnt work over HDMI...anyway, super slim at $1050 is a bargain, but as stated at that size you may want the extra real estate, BUT you will pay for it! Yeah I am beginning to think maybe my sights are too high, my budgets are usually sufficient but this time I am not sure. |

| 1128056 | 2010-08-16 00:54:00 | Yeah I am beginning to think maybe my sights are too high, my budgets are usually sufficient but this time I am not sure. Cheapest I can find is the HP! pricespy.co.nz $2017 and here is the review from Anand www.anandtech.com Conclusions All other things being equal - and in our testing we would have to say that the Dell 3007WFP and HP LP3065 are in a dead heat - price and features are going to usually be the determining factors on what LCD people want to buy. In the features department, we definitely give the edge to HP, but this will really only matter to people who plan on using more than one computer with the display. Otherwise, you could basically purchase either of these LCDs and be happy. Is a 30" LCD the best display on the market? That really depends on what you plan on doing with your computer. If you like to run numerous applications at the same time, the added real estate can prove handy. Games and movies also look really nice on a large display, although as we mentioned on the Dell 3007WFP review HDCP support on dual-link DVI is currently not possible. Hopefully that never becomes an issue, and as long as Hollywood doesn't begin enabling the ICT (Image Constraint Token), it shouldn't be a problem. If you want to have a multipurpose display, however, we would seriously consider a 1080p LCD HDTV as an alternative. Some of those LCD TVs might not fit very well on a computer desk, but then some of them aren't much larger than the 30" LP3065. It was interesting to hear from HP about the reasons current 30" LCDs don't have on-screen displays or support for non-dual-link inputs. While plenty of people will be happy with the displays as is, we are definitely interested in seeing next-generation 30" displays that have improved circuitry to allow for other resolutions and input options, along with an OSD. The small pixel size on the 2560x1600 panel seems to allow lower resolutions to run without feeling quite as blurry as they do on other LCDs. Perhaps that's simply because the scaling is being done on the GPU rather than on the display itself, but owners of the latest generation gaming consoles would probably like to be able to use one of these displays as well, especially in situations like college dorms where having multiple displays often isn't possible. However, until we see such 30" displays, we would rate the HP LP3065 as the best shipping 30" LCD, even if it's only by a small margin of victory. |

| 1128057 | 2010-08-16 01:01:00 | Hmmm over 2k is a little in the painful area I gotta say. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1128058 | 2010-08-16 01:03:00 | If you were happy with 27" then there are some great monitors out there at a good price. For example: www.pbtech.co.nz This Samsung 27" is only $640. You could get two or even three! |

| 1128059 | 2010-08-16 01:08:00 | I guess that could be big enough, is there anything between that and the 30" Like a 29" maybe? | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1128060 | 2010-08-16 01:11:00 | DeSade, as AvonBill states, you could get 2 or 3 for what do NV call it? surround something or rather, or get a really flash 1080 or 19x12 with 120hz for 3D gaming!... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1128061 | 2010-08-16 01:14:00 | Yeah that might be the best option..... I don't think a word document would look good on a LCD TV. |

| 1128062 | 2010-08-16 01:26:00 | Yeah that might be the best option..... I don't think a word document would look good on a LCD TV. Not sure how it would look any different mate, but then Im not sure on the differences myself. I think a normal LCD is like 60hz refreash, a 3d gaming LCD is 120hz as it requires 2 images, the Samsung is 200hz!!. Wonder if it has that picture in picture?, you could surf and watch TV same time, now that would be a flash monitor!...I did see this TV and I can assure you the text was the best looking out of all the rest including the Sony, Panny and LG...so sharp! You should go have a look mate, before you pull the trigger! |
