| 1124787 | 2010-08-05 22:57:00 | Probably got a better panel. See Here. (http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/) :) It won't matter that much, they are both TN panels. If image quality is most important, get an IPS screen. I think the cheapest is the HP ZR24W. If your budget can stretch an extra $20, it is worth it. |

No, most business class have better warranties as they tend to be used more!, also have height adjustment . . . . and maybe swivel functions! . . . |

| 1124791 | 2010-08-06 06:15:00 | is it practical to get a few smaller monitors and join them together to make bigger ones? or i will be better off to buy a big one instead?? | powerover (12121) | ||

Depends on what you want to use it for. If you need different info on different screens it's worth it. If you're expecting 1+1+1 to equal 3 then you'll be disappointed. Also, the less you have, the less you have to go wrong. I'd just go with the largest screen you can afford. If I were buying I'd go for a 27". I trust Viewsonic and haven't heard of anybody having problems. Samsung, not so much. Instead of just asking us questions until the cow comes home, do a analysis: Establish your budget. Establish your needs. Pros/Cons for each option. If you have any specific questions about anything we can help you out. We're not very good at teaching you to suck eggs, however. |

I shall do more research then . But in the mean time: Budget: up to $550-$600 needs: full HD, for gaming and movies, some general use I think the only cons for buying viewsonic is that I don't like the look of them . . . . . the only pros for me buying samsung is that i had one already and i trust it, and love the look . . . . . . one specific question I do have tho, that bussiness class Samsung monitor I listed in this thread, any good for my needs? I am worring about the low contrast ratio to be more specific . cheers |

AWESOME :) |

| 1124796 | 2010-08-07 04:50:00 | Nothing wrong with viewsonic monitors. Altho, when I brought this, the stand was pretty small, and it did look a bit tinny / a little tap, it'd fall over All I did was replace the stand with a heavier one, and one that can move sideways / up and down. And you can change the height. The original stand didnt have anything |
