belinea 22" Vs Video 7 22" tft

tipsy · 21 Jan 2007 at 10:11

Ok need some help to choose between these two monitors, looking through the forums & I've not been able to find much on the video 7 22" monitor, the only thing I do know is that it has the CMO panel like the asus thats all

The Belinea 22" monitor looks quite similar to *** V7 but has no dvi which isnt a downside as that doesnt really bother me & there appear to be lots of reviews of the belinea & people raving about it.

Just need some non bias opions for pro's & cons of both monitors from people that have them.

Cheers for the help in advance

Kev!

I'm in the exact same boat. I'm wanting to order one of those 2 monitors tomorrow but I'm not sure which one. I like the look of the Belinea but I need dvi as i think text looks blurry without it.

Trust me on this monitor it doesn't.

The Belinea has

300 cd/m2 Brightness
1000:1 Contrast Ratio

The VideoSeven has.

700:1 Contrast Ratio
280 cd/m2 Brightness

I was in the same boat until I saw the Asus 22". Then once I'd put some clean pants on I found out it not only looked better, but it had DVI and HDCP as well.

It's also £130 more than the Belinea!

The Videoseven is £225 and the Asus is £270. That works out at £45 to me....

the belinea only has VGA so it does'nt need HDCP, and trust me, you'll only really notice the difference between VGA and DVI on 24" and above, even then it's hard to spot, I'm veiwing this forum through my secoundry Samsung SM215TW on VGA and the text is pixel perfect.
