| 1124797 | 2010-08-07 06:03:00 | 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 My stand seems fine, although I havent exactly tried to tip it over :o but getting a wall mounted VESA stand?( - correct me if this is the wrong term) might be a nice addition, but no necessary |

| 1124798 | 2010-08-07 09:23:00 | Both of them cost quite a penny, I'd recommend the 2nd one if you were willing to pay the price, although the Asus VH242H (playtech.co.nz) It's cheaper than both($299 incl P&H) and its comparable to my VX2433wm which is... AWESOME :) Both of them are LED LCDs :D I the first time I saw LED screen is in Harvey Normans, they had a huge LED TV and man the picture quality is unreal... I have decided I shall go for the first one, the bussiness class...I am not that high end of a user and I think I won't notice the lower contrast ratio too much... |

| 1124800 | 2010-08-08 12:17:00 | I got one of these for my parents, as a cheap LED monitor for just $320, and it has full HD as well as LED backlit, and a 3 year warrenty, and Asus is a good brand for computers. www.asus.co.nz It is super thin, and is a very nice screen for the price, although if you want really good colours, you are best with a Dell Ultrasharp which I have got for myself. I personally would never buy another samsung again. All the sumsung stuff I have purchased has broken down after a very short period, eg a phone, a digital camera and a monitor. Friend also has samsung TV that they have had all sorts of problems withit . My samsung montor that I purchased also had a backlight defect and I ended up getting a refund, as all the refurbished replacements they supplied me with all had dead pixels. There is no point buying TV scrren, unless you are planning to play only games and watch movies through it. |

| 1124801 | 2010-08-08 12:34:00 | I should add that my dell ultrasharp uses a S-PVA panel rather than a TN panel like most of the cheap panels. IPS is also an option, but I don't know if the colour quality of an IPS over PVA is much better. I have compared the two, and couldn't see any difference. Apple use IPS panels in their ipadsd watch movies through it. | robbyp (2751) | ||

I shall check out the Dell then. Personally I trust Asus, my asus components in my pc never missed a beat, same as all the asus components in mum's computer. But that screen just doesn't float my boat, the look of it, and the back ring stand thing, makes it look hard to adjust or tilt (provided u can tilt it that is) Once again thanks for the advice :D |

I am researching monitors myself but alot are rejected cause of the stand and lack of swivel etc. |

| 1124804 | 2010-08-09 06:00:00 | I brought it (well had to, the previous one died). Whatever you do, dont get Proview (some of the DSE branded ones are Proview). They're crap Only reason I got this monitor was, its got all the connections on it (VGA/HDMI, and DVI). I use DVI for the computer, and the HDMI for the Xbox. I paid $60 I think it was for the stand. The original was too flimsy |
