Raffaello.S. Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Hi guys, i am really starting to understand why a lot of people uses 2 monitors...i Have a 21inch Eizo and i think i need more space so i dont have to open and close windows.. I've read a lot of good reviews about the Samsung 191T, I wonder if is still one of the best monitors in the market, heare in Europe costs about 1200 euros, a friend of mine says that he could find a LG L1811S 18" TFT Flatron at 700 euros.. There is alot of price difference but i am not so sure about the performance, here are some specs.: >Controls / Adjustments Brightness, contrast, H/V position, colour balance, gamma correction, clock >Display Screen Coating Anti-glare, hard coating >Response Time 30 ms >Video Bandwidth 135 MHz > Max Sync Rate (V x H) 85 Hz x 80 kHz > Colour support 24-bit (16.7M colours) > Max Resolution 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz > Dot Pitch 0.28 mm Image Max V-View Angle 160 > Image Max H-View Angle 160 > Image Brightness 250 cd/m2 > Image Contrast Ratio 350:1 >Port(s) Total / Connector Type 1 x VGA - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingo Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 How about Eizo TFT's, they offer a good quality like the CRT's too. If you buy a monitor you should always look at them in reality instead of buying blind, and if you want to look at the colors take care that the monitor is at least on for 30 minutes. Additionally only use the dvi connection, if possible, so you get a direct digital to digital connection, gives a better picture. HTH ingo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hess Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 The Samsung 191T is quite possibly the best LCD on the market currently, ignoring apple's 23 inch cinema display. I have one, and I wish I had two. Second on what ezio said... 1) Make sure you have a DVI-I video card. 2) Always better to check before buying.

ingo Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Forget Apples 23" display, the new 20" has a much better picture, no wonder that the 23" is now cut in price. And the problem with that large screens is the colorshift when you move your head from left to right, because as a computeruser you sit to close. How about a nice 40 kilo Sony FW900 ?

Greg Hess Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 Really? I think the 23's look better then the 20 myself. Guess its a matter of personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically looking at a budget/midrange display next to the flagship. The nicest thing about the samsung (besides its sharpness, color, brightness, contrast, dual outputs, decent response times) is the fact its got one of the smallest bezels of any lcd on the market. (Its really thin). They work extremely well in pairs, and seem to float in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffaello.S. Posted April 10, 2003 Author Share Posted April 10, 2003 Thanks Greg! ... i think i i'll buy the samsung.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hess Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 www.3dluvr.com/crossbow/incoming/setup.jpg Its on the left. You can see how much smaller it is then the viewsonic, even though the screen size is identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffaello.S. Posted April 10, 2003 Author Share Posted April 10, 2003 You are right is very nice!... The only thing that bothers me a bit is the price here...about 1200$.. I am realizing that I am just working to buy new hardware.. [ April 10, 2003, 05:51 PM: Message edited by: Raffaello.S. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hess Posted April 10, 2003 Share Posted April 10, 2003 Is dell in your area? Dell's 1900FP display is the samsung 191T, just with a Dell logo. I've seen it go as low as 640 USD in the states sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raffaello.S. Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Thanks Greg!, but i think is only USA DELL, here they have some viewsonic monitors.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my monitor 2 days after I ordered it. Really a great buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
