Getting a new monitor

[black_magiic]

I'm looking at upgrading to an LCD is a widescreen lcd a way to go or is it not worth it? Thoughts?

Checking my email is lke going to the theatre and sitting in the front row :D

You probably do not want this much area but you'll love having an LCD.

32" just leaves me speechless.
and not a single comment from mels yet I am shocked to say the least



on a more productive note
I am going to be getting a 40" 1080p Samsung LCD in the spring when I get a new pc that can actually out put games at the resolution. For now though I'm just looking for a replacement for my CRT so widescreen is the way to go for LCD's

I've just bought a 22" Samsung 225BW. I would definitely recommend it, it's a fantastic monitor, especially for the prices they go for.

Some people have had problems with backlight bleeding but I think that's been pretty much eliminated now. Best 22" I reckon.

Think about it . . thats 8 \ 1000th of a second.

I guess Im the balbber mouth huh?lol I would like a hi deg tv for myself but thats not on the menue to well after christmas. My 19 inch VDS circa 1999 wihh have to do me. ;( I do have dual monitor set up for my 36 inch standard tv but only for movies, any script is blur unless I up the font size.


So Krell, would you recomend a hi def tv or a monitor? Value VS quality? Your thoughts?



EDIT: The edit function is screwy

My PC has always been my TV until I bought this LCD HDTC Tuner that I have comcast connected to.

I use this for both PC and TV now.

With a TV tuner card, you can watch tv while surfing the web, now I have to use the remote and chose PC or TV.

Have bought one myself too. Best buy i made in the last months. Backlight bleeding is minimal, and it has great colour and response, even though it is a TN panel. I definately recommend it.

By this time, the Samsung 226BW is also out, and it seems to be a step up in quality. Any of those 2 is my recommendation :icon_thum

i recommend a Hp LCD monitor are very cheap

Zomg! I'm looking for a lcd monitor, and my strongest selection is this Samsung 22" you bought. How about the refresh rate? Is it good enough? I'm asking because I want it for video editing. I know that LCDs are not good enough for image and video editing but I have been sick with my monsterous 21" EIZO CRT. LCDs are just finest!!
