| 662973 | 2008-04-27 06:50:00 | What models are they reviewing?? (I dont have a subscription) Samsung SyncMaster 225UW, LG Flatron 2252TQ, AOC 2212Ph, Viewsonic VP2250WB, Phillips 220BW8. Might be worth your while buying the May issue. |

| 662975 | 2008-04-27 07:41:00 | Much Better. Pretty much all the monitors have boyth connectors, just check the specs before you decide. Thanks pctek. Does anyone know of a place in Wellington/Lower Hutt where I could look at this monitor (I'm a visual person and would like to see it for real before purchasing :D) |

The cheap ones have inconsistent backlighting, and shading, and backlights that give the colours a blue or red tinge. It really depends on what you need it for. If you are doing a lot of photoshop work and colour is important, you shouldn't buy a cheap TN monitor, as the colours are inferior and they use dithering to emulate 16.7 million colours, in that case you would need a PVA or IPS monitor which you pay more for. If you are doing gaming and general computer work processing eg., then it probably doesn't matter what monitor to go with, but if it's review state it has bad colour fringing, I fail to understand how you would consider it to be the best. Samsungs newer 22 inch monitor does get good reviews (not the older 226BW model), and you can get it for around your price. I'd agree. If viewing angles, colour accuracy, contrast and uniform appearance on the screen is important to you, go for an LCD which has a PVA or IPS screen. They are significantly more expensive though. If the screen appears darker on the top and lighter at the bottom, and goes to normal when you move your head down, it is a TN screen. I find with larger screens, you'll never quite be able to get that sweet spot where everything on the screen looks quite right (either the extreme top or bottom will look too bright or dark). This only affects larger screens though, which means the viewing angles are more extreme to the top and bottom. |
