belinea 22" display - worth getting this?

[ringo747]

hi guys,

always fancied getting myself a widescreen monitor and i saw an ad on this site for a new belinea model which is available to preorder..

Belinea 2225S1W 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black/Silver (MO-006-BE)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/20_Inch_LCD_Monitors.html#amo_2d006_2dbe

It seems to be really good value .. anyone know much about belinea monitors and would they recommend this model?

I have an LG 19" at the moment with 12ms so im sure anything would be an improvement!

Cheers in advance
Jonny

I have the 20" Widescreen model and its been brilliant, so i've no doubt that the 22" will be good as well (although it does use a different panel). In fact for the price im considering one as a second monitor.

If it had DVI I'd get it straight away!

Yeah, it uses a different panel so it will not be the same quality.

 

[ringo747]

and is this panel of a lower quality?

 

[Noni Juice]

It is indeed, they use TN Film panels, while the one you have a P-MVA.

 

[ringo747]

yeah wondered why it was going so cheap! any other recommendations for a 20" + widescreen TFT?

Some nice ones in this weeks only offers

Out of the 20" in today only the Dell 2007 is the best.

 

[ringo747]

ok cheers.. only want to spend £300 max so im kinda limited on what i go for!

 

[CrazyMonkey]

£300 on a 20" is more than enough, The Belinea 20.1" versions are great (look a beaut to!)
Viewsonic VX2025wm 20" (just ordered one )

 

[fish99]

For a budget of £300 the Dell looks like the best option. The stand has height adjust and pivot, and it has PIP and the s-video and composite inputs.

CrazyMonkey is sig is to big

A signature may contain one or more images but they must fit within a box with maximum dimensions of 400 x 75 pixels (width x height) and with a maximum (combined) file size of 20k

 

[ringo747]

what about the 22" viewsonic monitor available here on overclockers?
Are viewsonic pretty good?

I tihnk for the same price as the 20" Dell i might rather have an extra 2"

I wont be doing too much gaming.. just some flightsim which isnt too gfx intense anyways.

Will be more handy for video editing timeline stuff, photo editing, web design etc etc

Id say definitely £350 max

TIA
Jonny

£350 MAX? Go for the NEC one then mate. Its worth the pricetag.

 

[ringo747]

yep thats £350 including VAT!

 

[Noni Juice]

Well out of the 20" panels-

Dell 2007FPW or the Viewsonic VX2025.

22" panels-

Belina or the Samsung.

 

[ringo747]

cheers for the help mate.. will have to check out my options.. iv so many plans but just dont have the £ to do everything!

Well for this you should stay away from TN panels, an S-IPS panel like one the 2007fpw uses would be the best. You must stay in Desktop Mode with the Dell though, because in other modes it has banding whe using a DVI cable.

 

[UKTopGun]

For a £350 max I'd say get the NEC!

Don't see it for less than £370 except on an auction site.
