1920 x 1200 for around £200

Mr Paul · 16 Sep 2009 at 23:01

To add more to my confusionment about what monitor to buy I'm thinking that the extra vertical resolution a 23"~24" 1920 x 1200 over a 1080p screen would be the better option.

So guys, sorry to ask again, but what the BEST I can get for around £200.

Mainly internet and gaming usage.

Thanks again in advance and hopefully I can come to a decision soon

Yeah the LS24CMKKFV (SM2433BW) does look good for £210.

Does anybody who has one care to comment?

Also what is Samsung's pixel policy? As I'd prefer Dell as their service is great!

Samsung SM2443BW 24" looks about the best....???

Mr Paul · 17 Sep 2009 at 12:14

Well ordered the Samsung SM2443BW

Well It's out for delivery......

Mr Paul · 18 Sep 2009 at 17:09

Still waiting

Mr Paul · 21 Sep 2009 at 12:28

Yeah, sorry posted in the other thread.

Box was pre-opened as per usual from OcUK. Slight scuff on the bezel where it had been rubbing on the polystyrene packing (wasn't wrapped properly). but screen seems just fine

That would annoy me! You buy new and you should get new - you not going to complain?

It does annoy me, but pretty much all the things I have bought from OcUK have been pre-opened (and that's a fair few things), so I'm thinking it's just what they do.....

Not much point in complaining as the monitor works fine, but I may send a webnote about the pre-opened box...

So is it any good? I'll probably order one of these myself if you rate it well.

You have exactly the same requirements as I do for a monitor, saved me making a thread .

It's excellent mate

I thought you said you had a couple of stuck pixels too.

They turned out to be dust lol

It may have one grey stuck pixel, but I can't see it

Mr Paul · 22 Sep 2009 at 13:53

How have you calibrated yours mate?

Mr Paul · 22 Sep 2009 at 14:58

Good to hear mate, nice one.
Now to stop hearing of open boxes from OCUK.

Still waiting to hear back from OcUK about that, but my 4850 was the same...

Mr Paul · 22 Sep 2009 at 17:52

It's not right, correct.

They have replied and said "This item could have been opened to check it had the correct power plug in as we have been having a few EU plugs sent in the monitors we do appologise that it has been damaged and we can replace the monitor if you would like?"

So a good answer I guess, and could well be true, but it doesn't explain why the TFT was partially unwrapped.....

I won't be getting it swapped out either as I've registered this S/N with Samsung and I just can't be arsed.

When the new HD4850 was sent pre-opened Gibbo gave me a 10% off voucher to say sorry, but unfortunately he left before I used it and now it can't be used (as I have to contact him before I ordered to apply the discount)

So a 10% sorry gift would be great this time.

Mr Paul · 22 Sep 2009 at 18:18

Personally the 1200 pixel vertical resolution not only looks better i.e. not to wide looking like the 1080 but also gives more space when not playing games.

Mr Paul · 24 Sep 2009 at 13:15

Its very good, get one
