Which 20 inch LCD should i take?

[sosaited]

I bought Samsung 2033SN three days ago, and I am pretty impressed with it so far. Before this I had LG 15" lcd which I got way back in '04, and had its backlight replaced recently, but the difference in brightness was a hell lot more than what I was expecting.

But if you want higher than 1600x900 resolution, you should get 22 or 23" with full HD resolution.

See the difference between 16:9 ratio and 16:10. The reason w2007 has a higher res is because it uses a 16:10 ratio, but quality wise 1680x1050 is very much the same thing as 1600x900.

Still the philips monitor is a good buy, so go for it.

Agreed. The thing is that if i go with HP or Samsung its 15k+....so why not put 1k more and get a 22inch LCD. Bigger is better for me. It has the resolution, DVI plus doesn't look that bad either. I have googled a lot and 8800/9800gt can go upto 1680X1050 without taking a hit on eye candy or FPS (except for crisis which i don't play anyhow). Ya sure 9800gt CAN do full HD but it will be a slide show by my standards. I don't plan on getting a 20k GTX260 anytime soon. So this is my best deal.

I have gone through both galaxy and czone and the best in the budget is http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/2/2...00_pss_aen.pdf

or if u don't go with the resolution go with Samsung's 933BW+ coz samsung's LCDs are stylish unlike Philips

So the possible choices are:

or
Samsung 933BW http://www.samsung.com/my/consumer/p...pec&fullspec=F

Bro...933bw is 19 inch so no chance. I have seen both 19 and 20.1 inch LCD side by side and i do see a difference. 19 inch is too small. I am upgrading from a 19 inch CRT so i wan't to feel the difference. Plus yeh i was looking for style but now i want features too. Res atleast 1680X1050 and DVI output. Samsung lacks both. HP has the both......but same thing add 1k more for 2 extra inches of. The next is Dell 23 incher which is 19,400 on Czone. I can make that jump but my rig wont handle it as i want it to.

Bro if you bought it for 15k+ then why not philips 22 inch for 16k? You get bigger size, higher res and DVI. Yeh samsung will beat it in the style department.

Could you please upload some original pics of your LCD both off and in action. Thanks.

Lol its 20.5" not 20.1"(galaxy typo).I would have gone for the philips monitor too but I prefer a 16:9 ratio monitor and went for hp 2009f instead.

Still the philips 22" looks as generic as any lcd can be. Still if you don't care about aesthetics then that shouldn't be concern.

Also some people exaggerate on the resolution, the difference in frames I get between 720p and 1600 isn't that huge so imo your 8800gt can do full hd with some AA/AF loss. Anyways that shouldn't matter if you're going for philips.

^^ Ya bro its 20.5 inch. Sure it is only matter of one's choice. I would prefer the above mention 3 extra features over looks. Ya it does look generic and a bit on low side when it comes to looks but mujhe konsa exhibition karna hai. I find it up to my standard of style i would prefer against loosing.

Regarding not loosing much by going full HD. Well, i can't comment on it unless i play few games using my setup on full HD and see the performance. If its what i want then i might as well go full HD with Dell 23 inch. Let's see. If i find someone who can connect my rig with his full HD and i can check, that will be good. Otherwise its philips final.

Regarding AA...i never found any diff with or without AA at 1280X1024 res. I usually play with 2XAA only with other settings maxed out. I guess in Full HD AA does make a difference. Since everything is magnified and clear to the eyes. Is it?

On 1600x900 I can notice a lot of jaggies, so yes its a lot more evident.

I would recommend VX2233, Believe me you will love the picture quality and gaming performance.

Avoid VX2260 , on 2ms response time setting it goes into overdrive mode and introduces pink ghosting artifacts , practically useless mode

I recently exchanged my VX2233 with VX2260 but now I may get it back.

^ Thanks for your recommendation. As i said ill go for full HD only after checking the performance of my rig on it.

Let's say i buy full HD, don't you think the Dell S2309W much better as compared to vewsonic VX2233.
