2443BW.. 2433BW.. Whats the difference?

Deaco · 11 Jan 2009 at 18:59

Ok bit confused, whats the difference?

Technically they seem the same, only difference looks to be design and price (with the 33 being more). So am I missing something or is the 33 a newer model and therefore a better panel albeit with a major design flaw (stand).

Cheers for any info

Not much in it really, the 2433bw has HDCP, has the function buttons on the side (right side) the stand dont lok as good as the 2443..........and looks like you get what looks like a sexy screen.

Ahh cheers for that, was under the impression the 43 was HDCP compliant.. so that might have ended nastily

wait so does this mean i wont be able to connect my ps3 to the 2443bw monitor?

yes but with a adaptor.

marcus_667 · 12 Jan 2009 at 16:41

Ive just ordered the 2443

cant wait for it

Better choice mate.

Deaco · 12 Jan 2009 at 17:56

Whats the adaptor you need for HDCP? Bit confused now (doesn't take a lot ><), but would eventually want to be able to play BD on a new monitor so that is quite a big thing and I'm guessing both can do this?

Also is the 43 a gloss or matte effect - looks matte from the images but can never quite tell.

Do these have really slim frames, they look that way from the pictures?

Nice, 15mm is nothing!

I want them paired up you see, so the minimal gap for my charts and the like is ideal.

just got my 2443 20 mins ago was like a kid at christmas

, smashing monitor though

Does it not matter it's a TN instead of a PVM?

You can get a HP PVM for £30-40 more, any reason people didn't bother to do so?

marcus_667 · 13 Jan 2009 at 09:56

cos its 30-40 i didnt have atm and seeing as i was fedup of my 223bw i went for this

, and i have to say for a TN this is a very good one hardly any backlight bleed on it

HP LP2275W

I know it's slightly smaller but the difference is minimal right? Worth it for the PVA?

marcus_667 · 13 Jan 2009 at 12:31

i went for 24" cos of price constraint and to stress my gtx280 some

cos of the 1920*1200 res

EDIT: just played a film back @ 1080p Looks stunning

Deaco · 13 Jan 2009 at 13:55
