Dear readers
In the last month I have spent alot of hours searching for a good 24" display and i was almost certain that it would be the Samsung 245B even though it has a TN panel I couldn't be bothered less. In the beginning I had my doubts about which brand I was going for because I was very attracted to the cheaper Fujitsu Siemens Scaleoview displays. The only problem was that I didn't have any experience with that brand nor did anybody else I knew. So I kept surfing through the internet to find that one shop that could get me my Samsung 245B for a little more then 300 euro's since I was willing to spend a few euro's more on having a good brand display.
Untill...
I came into this shop named "MediaMarkt" (I'm belgian) and they had this 26" Fujitsu Siemens S3260W for only 350 euro's. I found the 30 euro's worth the extra 2 inch even though it would not get me more pixels.
If you don't mind me coming to the point... read on.
So what I am actually trying to say or ask is... what would you do? and what would be best?
I realy don't know which display to go for since I realy like the 26" but perhaps it is too big? but nothing can be too big, right? I have always been dreaming about a 30" apple (that dream where I am a billionare, you know which one) Some people stated I should be careful going for a 26" due to the pixel mapping and dot pitch. Even though I do not know what they were talking about I started to have an idea. I still don't know what the pixel mapping realy is but I will google that soon. And for the dot pitch I understood that it is the space between 2 pixels.
So, what is best in general? A 26" (B-brand) or a 24" A-brand? I do not know, well maybe I do but I don't want to know because I think the 24" would be better.
Also, I am not planning on gaming on these (yet) i'll just stick to watching .avi video's for now so that wont hurt my PC.
How ever I hope that everyone can rea and understand my topic and I hope to get some answers soon
