Told you do

, they are good monitors and well worth the money, yer the LED does anoye you so i cut a piece of insulation tape the same size and you cant tell now.

People keep going on and on about viewing distances and how bad the TN monitors are. This DGM looks great, but I'd rather buy a well known make - I've been put off the Dell by the ghosting issue so that leaves the Samsung or the cheaper Dell, but they are both TN. so could anyone post a picture of a TN 24" panel from an extreme angle like the ones earlier in this thread to compare?

I think it's time to give the kids my Samsung 215TW & replace it with one of these.

I don't think the carp stand will bother me as it will be bolting on here

only problem is will Mrs G notice & give me grief

Comparison between the 24" Samsung TN and some VA panels.

To confirm, does this support HDCP and 1:1 pixel mapping?

I dont think over the entire 21 pages anyone has confirmed this for sure, theres only been guesses, but no facts.

james.miller · 27 Nov 2007 at 20:03

i have said a few times it doesnt do 1:1. as for hdcp i dont know. i gave up waiting for powerdvd to download the update.

HighlandeR · 27 Nov 2007 at 20:05

Very temping still

but yeah I think Ocuk can do a much better price on it lets have it a weekend special everyday !

My Samsung 245B I gotta admit once I noticed the whole "View angles" thing it is a tad off putting, sorta niggles at you especially when your left thinking just how much better can a screen get over a TN panel.

I do notice a shift in contrast/brightness/sharpness and detail if I move my head left and right and up and down, obviously 99% of the time no ones gonna be doing that with there head in front of the screen.

But it does make you wonder, thx to RobH review nice job would love a review between one of the TN 22"-24" and the Ocuk 24"

COmpletely off topic, but I cant believe this thread has 610 replies or something! that has to be some kinda of record lol

whar are the implications of no 1:1 pixel mapping for general PC use and film watching? (no games or photo editing)

Alexrose1uk · 27 Nov 2007 at 21:21

None for general pc use, for films it means you get fullscreen unless your software does something to compensate, so sometimes you get a slight vertical stretch.

Cavallino · 27 Nov 2007 at 21:30

So... if I watch a DVD in WMP, it will be stretched vertically because of the lack of 1:1 mapping?

no, it's for external sources really. Games where the res overrides what is used in Windows. see here, should help

mo786 · 27 Nov 2007 at 21:44

so not a factor for general pc use then?

IIRC some cards can do it anyway right?

nope, not an issue

when in fullscreen mode, media players will generally stretch as far as possible on the horizontal whilst keeping the original aspect ratio, so the video isnt stretched out of proportion. if you reeeeaally want to, you can use something like ffdshow to display video at 1:1

Cavallino · 27 Nov 2007 at 21:54

Gibbo, if you drop the price to the weekend specials (or close to

), will 100% unequivocally pick one up.

And thanks Badass

Its the law is it not? Advertised price...... Im gonna get one too if it drops low enough. Im not paying that much for it when it was so cheap over the weekend out of principal. I feel like ocuk have let us down really. They know people are interested so its - profit - profit - profit...........

Shame really.

+ When does the TWO price go up? In the morning?
