I can't seem to get a straight answer if the samsung screens are matt.

the panels themselves are matt finish, traditional AR coating

Whats AR coating as a lot of this is all new to me.

[*]The OcUK monitor has a smaller dot pitch than the Samsung (text appears quite small) and I was after a screen that was easy to read from as I do a lot of coding and my eyes take a battering so the Samsung suited me better in this regard as it has the resolution of a 20" monitor but displayed at 22".

Thats the one that gets me. I like larger fonts and dont particularly wish to have to use the zoom feature on Internet Explorer.

I'm on a 19" CRT right now, I am using 1024x768. The text on the OCUK 24" monitor must be tiny in comparison.

It's a matt screen and the bezzel is glossy. if you look hard enough and in the right lighting you will see your reflection in the screen but this is no where near as bad as a glossy screen would be.

oops

Sorry mate i thought you were asking about the DGM (didn't read propperly doh!) and my comment was about the DGM. The Sammy i believe is the glossy type screen and are very reflective, although this didn't put me off buying a Samsung 40" M87 for the lounge

All clear now Pumaz

Good old google AR coating = Anti-reflective

Is the coating on the outside of the LCD and can it be rubbed off when cleaning ?

well, im sitting about an arm and a half away (scientific i know

) from my 24 inch, and i can read it perfectly

gibbo, if i purchased this in store and there were many dead pixels could i return?
aparently acording to DGM website (and iso standards) its anything over 9 dead pixels on the screen.

Thats the same sort of distance I am sitting from my monitor, right now.

Does text look ok/clear at a lower resolution of say 1680x1050, on this 24" DGM?

toothe · 28 Nov 2007 at 13:28

think i'll be getting one, bit disapointed the price didnt drop more but

The AR coating can't be rubbed off, but you should only ever wipe a screen with a verry slightly damp (water) soft spectacle type cloth.

its not bad. its not as sharp as a 22" at native and the text is a bit rounded, but then is blowing that up by 19%, the same as a 22" being around 21% larger than a 20" at the same resolution and of course, not being as sharp.

at native, a 24" screen is smack bang in the middle of them both. text isnt as small as it is on a 20", but smaller than a 22". with a pixel density of 8107p/sq.in, id say the 24" are pretty much spot on at native 1920x1200

.... pondering... pondering... what to do... should I... shouldnt I...

I DONT KNOOOOOOOOOW

Can we get really high res pics of the screen? I would like to see typical IE/Firefox text on webpages.

Ice Tea · 28 Nov 2007 at 13:47

Sorry to repost the question

When software 1:1 mapping is used on the OcUK 24" is there a single line of compressed pixles on the edge of the black bar that looks like a solid line of pixels ? or are the edges perfect ?

Cavallino · 28 Nov 2007 at 13:48

When are last orders so that I can receive tomorrow?

toothe · 28 Nov 2007 at 13:53
