| 1124777 | 2010-08-05 04:26:00 | Hi there guys, Mum's monitor broke down, so I gave mine to her (the one in my sig) and now I am in need of a new monitor . I quite like the one I had, it does everything I need it to do (gaming, movies) and it just stands there looking elegant, picture quality is nice too . so I would probably stick to Samsung again, but I am open to suggestions . I would like it to be full HD capable (1920x1080) . 3D ready is not a must, as I have ATI cards . I would also like it to be at least the same size as 23'' if not bigger . My other question is should I buy a TV of similar size instead? is it cheaper that way?? Because price is also a concern . . . . but I am willing to pay if it is good value if you guys know what i mean . At university they uses Samsung SyncMaster 2693hM and it looks really good, what do you guys think of that one? any comments?? any suggestions, any comments will be greatly appreciated Cheers |

| 1124779 | 2010-08-05 04:37:00 | Personally I wouldn't go buying a TV to use as a desktop monitor. While they do run a PC OK, they dont have the same resolutions and you will get a far better picture from a Desktop LCD. |

| 1124781 | 2010-08-05 05:46:00 | You'd need to get a proper 1080p one, but having tried this myself I can tell you it isn't ideal. Samsung, viewsonic, LG, asus, they are ok. |

| 1124782 | 2010-08-05 09:30:00 | Check out Viewsonic VX2433wm 24" LCD. Been using it for 12 months without problem. Has HDMI etc. There may be newer models by now. Check it out at elive (http://www.elive.co.nz/) or one of the other online vendors. I use mine for graphics and web design. Remarkably good for the price. |
