If you can muster another 80 bucks plus tax you could get this plus it's from Bestbuy so if there's any dead pixels you can just return it and say it's broken. It's a 24" though not sure if you were dead set on 22. I've heard mixed reviews on this monitor most being it's pretty descent though. I'm going to pick one up in July when I finish paying off the wifes PC.
Some people notice bleeding at 8ms. Try to find one with 5ms response or less if you can, and don't pay for imbedded speakers. They are NOT a selling point for a monitor. Also see if you can find one with a good warranty and check out what their dead pixel policy is. Read reviews online, google your model name+review and find some good professional reviews. EVERY monitor has at least one or two bad points, so figure out what's most important to you. I'd look for fast response time (some go as low as 2ms, although larger models tend to only go to 8ms or so), contrast ratio (1000 and higher is ideal), and get yourself a widescreen (WS) monitor. If you don't plan on gaming, response time doesn't matter much, unless you're watching a lot of video then it can make a bit of a difference. Some (most?) monitors have light bleeding through in the corners a little which shows up when you're viewing something black or blue and how bad the light is varies, just something else to read up on. There are a host of other specific things you may want to be aware of, but those are what I can think of off the top of my head right now. You may also want to consider what connection inputs you need. My Samsung SyncMaster 215TW monitor is nice because it has component jacks on the side. I can plug a console or VHS or whatever into the monitor as well. It's great because I can hit "source" on my screen and use the internet in between games of Halo2.
ok so i am not done reading about the viewsonic one ,need to find few more sites just to be 100% sure ,so far it dont seem to be that good
i am geting the feeling this a chep ( as in low cost) screen but not very good on performance
am all so gona look in to Samsung SyncMaster 226BW( not chep but fit in my price rang )
it says 2ms 1:1000 am a noobe but numbers seem good
runing to google it
hehe ya allrdy on to that a vs s panl thinge
so far this like i cant find a screen that is like super good on ever thing
but this one seem to be good so far got to read more about it and look on few more screen befor i make up my mind
I just picked up a Samsung 226bw which had an S Panel. I love the 22" of real state you get and the Samsung S Panel seems to have very good picture quality so far with no dead pixels.
There is actually 3 versions to the panel used. "S" panel is the best "A" is next but you have to do a fair bit of calibrating as it has to much blue "C" avoid it like the plague from what I have been reading. I had gotten mine from Future Shop in Halifax, NS here in Canada. I was lucky enough to get the only S panel they had which was also their floor model. Every other one they had was a C Panel. So for anyone ordering from Future Shop online be for warned that there is an excellent chance you are going to get the C Panel.
To identify the panel you need to look at the model # on the back and after the model # there will be one of the 3 letters also if the monitor was made before March 2007 you should be getting an S Panel.
ya if i go for this one i will make sure its the "S" one
they did not stop makeing the "S" right? this not like limited rels or samething
all so wanted to ask about the dead pixels thing how can u tell if or how many of them are dead? do they die out over time ( note to self remmber to feed the small pixels hehe
I understand you are ordering online from Isreal, but I just want to offer up an opinion on the Gateway 24" monitor.
It easily matches up to the Dell 2407, I believe that is the model number, as I have the gateway for home, and my previous job I had the dell 24" monitor. Granted work wasn't game time, but you still get a good feel for a monitor while you are programming and working on database schemas, still not nuking someone, but mehh..
The gateway is a good monitor, and that made me happy, as I was a bit skeptical about it at first. I was dead set on getting a dell. Turns out I didn't have to get a dell to get a good deal and great monitor.
The best monitor IMO..is the one I bought of course..Just had to have it..I looked high and low for a good 22".. I ran into an HP 22" brightview..The model is W2207...It looks like a giant laptop screen..Just gorgeous..I use it for gaming and it excels..Super nice base that adjusts to whatever you want..Has controls for gaming,text,photo ect..It has like a 5 or 8 ms repsonse time..I got mine on sale at circuit city for $329..Go look at it,I guarantee you will need a diaper..
thx u
