Solve : Buying A New Monitor? |
|
Answer» I going to buy a new computer and the one I like the most after researching it is the if you know of a much better monitor to purchase you can give me some info.Can you be more specific about the size and resolution you want and perhaps the acceptable range of sizes and resolutions? If you're in the U.S., I suggest visiting newegg.com and READING buyer reviews on various models of monitors. I'd be open to various brands such as ASUS, Acer, Samsung, and others. Do you want a monitor with both DVI and VGA connections? If not, then which type do you need? Do you want a monitor with built-in speakers? Any other specific technical requirements? Thanks for the reply!!!! Well, the model I stated has the below specs: Item # 684778 Manufacturer # S23A300B diagonal screen size 23 inches viewable image size 23 inches HD compatible yes signal input type DVI-D (digital) with HDCP; VGA 15-pin D-sub model name S23A300B screen type TFT active matrix LCD typical response TIME 5 ms maximum resolution 1920 x 1080 native resolution 1920 x 1080 pixel pitch 0.265 mm monitor brightness 250 cd/m2 aspect ratio 16:9 contrast ratio 1000:1 (static) horizontal viewable angle 170 degrees antiglare no integrated speakers no dimensions 15.94" x 21.54" x 7.76" warranty length 1-year limited brand name Samsung manufacturer Samsung postconsumer recycled content 0 % total recycled content 0 % Ecolabel Energy Star; EPEAT Gold monitor color black wall mountable no Any monitor that meets the above specs (there abouts) would work if you know of one. I did see a review about this monitor somewhere that a USER could not get the color purple to show up as purple. It was showing up as blue. Also, what type is the better one to get? One that is LED or LCD? Quote Also, what type is the better one to get? One that is LED or LCD?I'll defer to other forum members on that question. It's not an area I've researched. You can read newegg.com reviews on the Samsung monitor at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001487&Tpk=Samsung%u00ae%20S23A300B Here's another monitor that selling at a very attractive promotional price now: Acer G245HQABD 23.6" LCD Monitor Black Thanks for the links. I don't really like the problems that is says with the Sansung. Don't care much for the remarks they say about the ACER either.Well, the Acer has 77% 5 eggs and 9% 4 eggs on the reviews, significantly better than the Samsung. I think I'd have no qualms about buying that Acer. Newegg.com is generally good about allowing returns if you have a problem within the allowable return period. Thanks for your reply again!HP recommended the following monitor: HP 2311x 23" LED Monitor I like the reviews for this one so I will get it. Quote from: grog1961 on February 16, 2012, 10:07:51 AM HP recommended the following monitor: HP 2311x 23" LED MonitorI haven't read reviews on it but, as long you feel comfortable with that choice, then that's fine. But, you realize that HP is obviously going to recommend an HP monitor, don't you? In the event that the money for a monitor has not left your possession as you requested information on lcd/ led comparisons here is a fine article that will help you to decide on what suits you best. http://www.highdisplay.com/led-versus-lcd-monitors/ truenorthThanks for the REPLIES!!!! I asked HP about the monitor directly because they would be sure to tell me what monitor would work great with the computer I'm purchasing. Also, thanks for the LED/LCD link. It was very helpful! |
