LG vs Samsung

the LG looks very nice. lets see
i would take the samsung though. they got the same resolution. if i was you i would take the samsung.

thats the problems with brands which ones are better. would Samsung be better than LG or vise vera. guess it is all based on experiences

thanks for your answer,

i've got samsung, i love it! i don't have experience about lg, but i only know that the mobile phones aren't so good.

I have the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824005113 , which is the same monitor really.

The colors are phenomenal, and I haven't noticed any ghosting. It's incredibly bright compared to my other 300 rating monitors, and really lights up a dark room. I would definitely suggest it.

i would go for the samsung model

if you look at the specs, it lists the color support: 24bit (16.7 million color) which means that the samsung is an 8bit per color panel, which means it can actually show 16.7 million different colors without using something called dithering (which basically is faking the missing colors)

the LG does not list any color specs which leads me to believe it is a 6bit panel which means that the color rendition will SUCK on the LG for things like movies and some games

the price difference also leads me to believe the more expensive samsung is 8bit while the LG is most likely 6bit.

the samsung also has a 3 year warranty while the LG only has 2
the samsung also has height, swivel, tilt adjustments

EDIT
-----

to put in perspective the diff between 6bit and 8bit panels in terms of colors available take a quick look at this

8bit = (2^8)^3 = 16.7 million

6bit = (2^6)^3 = 262,144

so the 6bit panel is really does suck.

his point was that LG is cheaper because it uses the 6bit system to produce 16.7 million colors which uses (dithering) while samsung doesn't.

One problem you have to remember that some samsung monitors (espeially the current cheap one 225 something...) is that they have a bit of light bleed on the bottom of the monitor which I've read reviews on LG monitors do not. So I it's really a matter of preference. Some people had a bad experience with LG while people like me totally embrace it.

I think LG is better instead. Why? Look at this spec:

Power
Complies with EPA Energy Star
Power Supply 100-240V
Power Consumption Normal Usage: 45W
Stand-by Usage: 1W

Features Surface Treatment: Anti-glare, Hard coating (3H)
VESA Mounting: Yes (100mm x 100mm)
f-ENGINE
sRGB
Pb Free
DDC/CI
Intelligent Auto (Auto Resolution)
eZ Zooming (Hot Key)

Let's take a look on Samsung:

Power
Power Consumption 55 Watt

Features Plug and Play: DDC 2B
MagicBright3, High Glossy Black

On the warranty parts, both brand have the same period of 3 years parts and labor services and both support 16.7 million of colors which is 8bit.

I was using SAMSUNG brand before, it sucks more energy than LG. Anyway, by latest release of SAMSUNG found that contrast ratio cannot beat LG with 70,000:1. So, i bet they're better than SAMSUNG brand. Luckily, i got the DVI cable on my new LG's W2253TQ-PF LCD series.
