All LCD panels are gonna be sharp unless there is something wrong with them or you get a bad signal. That is the nature of the technology.

For what you describe as your use of the monitor:
internet
movies
rarely games

almost any monitor would be ok for you, even a 6-bit dithered TN.

from what i have read here tn panels are not the best option for watching movies

image quality is inferior compare to other types of panels.

The cheapest 8-bit 20.1" widescreen LCD that I know of is the:

BenQ FP202W Black 20.1" 8ms

$220 + $15 shipping

It uses a P-MVA (AUO M201EW01 V0) panel.

The BenQ FP2020W is not an option for me cause they dont sell this

model over here (jerusalem).

How about these models: VIEWSONIC VP 2030b

NEC 20WGx2

or maybe you know about some other model worth to consider?

THANKS :D

Okay, here are some 8-bit monitors you can look at:

Samsung SyncMaster 215TW
NEC MultiSync 20WGX2
Viewsonic VX2025
Viewsonic VP 2030b (possibly uses a P-MVA panel, but it's only available in Europe, I think)
Belinea 10 20 35W

As a second option, consider something like Dell LCD panels (if they sell them there). They tend to be good midrange PVA panels and have fairly good prices.

The NEC model that you mentioned is a good monitor (top of the line AS-IPS with glossy screen), but you can get other monitors that will do what you specifically are needing for much less.
The VP2030b is P-MVA with overdrive; it is standard ratio.

Still, I would recommend checking out the monitors in the store (which tend to be mostly 6-bit TN panels). They will do what you need.

midrange monitor is good enough for me (internet ,movies,strategy games).

But the Dell models runs at 16 ms??

isnt that to slow? :roll:

i mean if i will run amovie on it will it be the same as running it on a 6 or 8 ms panel??

only 1 Dell model is available here:

Na, I wouldn't buy a second hand Dell like that. That might even be an old monitor. Guess you should go looking at the name brands again.
or... how about from HP?

Any way i dont know what i will buy

The most popular brands around here are the ones of SAMSUNG or LG (their price is also like in the us ).

if you know about a good monitor from those two please tell me and

also a review if you have .

THANKS :)

samsung 215T not avaliable,the NEC 20WGX2 and the VIEWSONIC VP

2030b are both good monitors but to much expensive for what i am going

to use it,forget about HP or benQ and Belinea they sell here only

bestsellers models.

about the DELL ?? what do you mean "second hand" i thought i will buy

anew one :?:

also i read this :

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articl [...] ottery.htm

different panels show almost the same preformance .


SO just the VIEWSONIC 2025 remain ?any opinios about it ?it was out to

the market almost ayear ago probably will be replaced soon by abetter

model should i consider buying it??
