Belinea 102035W

Sinque · 27 Nov 2005 at 23:32

Ordering me one of these in the next few weeks to go with my ordered XFX GeForce 6800 GS Extreme XXX Edition 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express)! Can't wait to see it

What is the build quality like on this monitor? I was going to get the Dell 2005FPW but not sure now, with the ghosting and backlight issues I've been reading about.

Now I'm thinking either the VP930 or maybe this new 20" Belinea.

God this is such a bloody hard decision!!!

Cheers SGoaty - probably ordering on Wednesday, so it would be great if you could let me know what you think when you get yours tomorrow!

From looking at these breifly they are definetely better than the DELL 2005FPW, better image quality and a nicer looking panel on the desk too. At the price they are, awsome buy!!

Cheers Gibbo - I'm starting to lean towards this one. I just want to know that the build quality is not cheap, and also that it doesn't look cheap! I want something that will look good on my desk, as well as performing excellent.

Its got higher specs so yes its better then the dell, Im sending my dell back as its generally a horrible screen. Stay clear ofs dells if possible if you value your eyes or enjoy games.

Harsh words as the DELL 2405FPW is still the best value 24" LCD out there and the quality of the picture produced on those is just so amazing and the screen is so big.

is the price of these likely to go up within the next few months? cant afford one now, but christmas and work savings should bring in a little

think he was meaning the 2005FPW tbh, not the 2405FPW

Well got my Dell setup last night and I'm pretty happy with it. Some backlight leaking in 3 corners but its not very often I will be staring at a black screen in the dark!

Too much hassle to return it for the sake of a few quid imo.

Still very interested all the same how these Belinea lads come out after a few reviews

Bad news on the review from me, looks like it will be late. My screen ordered Saturday is sitting in the citylink depot and has been since this morning. Buggers havent delivered it yet! I hope they dont turn as bad Amtrac, Citylink are usually good. Slightly annoying though as they are being paid for next day delivery ( this is a dig at Citylink not OCUK)

RandomTom · 29 Nov 2005 at 18:54

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I was relying on you sgoaty

When you get it - post the hugest review with loads of pictures and everything pleaseee

No surprise there... citylink are the pits.

look forward to seeing the review though.

I shall do my best but I have never done a review before so expect a load of waffleing.

lego · 29 Nov 2005 at 22:29

will look forward to your views sgoaty, been outting off getting a couple of Dell 2005 due to the issues. If these turn out to be good then i probably wont be able to hold out.

scousegit · 29 Nov 2005 at 23:58

no one able to answer my query raised in this post?

ajgoodfellow · 30 Nov 2005 at 01:02

I'm not sure - I know BF2 and FEAR supports 1680x1050. I think Quake 4 does too but I'm not sure

Perhaps the people in the PC Gaming section might know a little more?
