It's good to see the P2450 back! I know I love recommending the B2430 over that one but people just can't get over the looks. And at that price it's a fine choice.

 

[alex24]

I know what you mean, it looks a lot better than the B2430, but if the B2430 is the better monitor (in terms of picture), then that's the one I'll go for. Shame it's not on offer too, but some decent enough deals there.

 

[Kosmiche]

That is a stonking price on the P2450, might get in on the Bluray action for that price!

 

[alex24]

I do really prefer the looks of the P2450H, but it is older. How come it has 2ms response and the B2430H has 5ms? Is it a true 2ms panel or RTA assisted 5ms?

I'm about to pull the trigger on one of those two, now the P2450H is cheaper which one to go for? Does the B2430H have a better image? I've seen so few reviews for it on the internet, it's hard to know for sure. The P2450H has some less than impressive reviews however. CNET really didn't like it, though I wouldn't class them as experts exactly...

There isn't an awful lot between them really. The colours on the B2430H are a bit better out of the box, but with a little tweaking of the P2450H you'll get a nice image. I mean neither of these are intended to be professional panels. The B2430H also has slightly better whites - but this is not really particularly noticeable unless you are scorching your eyes out with really high luminances (unless you're obsessive like me of course). There is also the B2430L which I can confirm is the same as the B2430H but sans HDMI. It can be had for around £150... Considering all of this and that you prefer the looks then maybe the P2450 is worth a shot at the this week only price. You may regret it next week if you don't pull the trigger?

 

[alex24]

Thanks for the advice chap. I don't mind investing in getting the settings right, I have to keep it for around 3 years anyway, that's the plan.

As in the other thread, I'm so close to pulling the trigger now I have the cash, so it's just a case of deciding which one without seeing either myself!

Put it this way, if my 226BW is 100% image quality, the B2430H is 150% and the P2450H is 145%, then it's a fairly easy decision in favour of the P2450H. I know you haven't seen the 226 though. If it was more like 130% image quality on the P2450H, then it's a harder decision. All depends how much better they both are relative to what I have. If it's a lot, then I'm pleased either way.

Which 226BW panel did you get? There were two types, a good one and an excellent one.

I'd say the P2450H has a sharper image simply due to the 1920x1080 resolution which will give much more crystal sharp image due to resolution alone.

 

[alex24]

Ha, the panel lottery was fun. Samsung wouldn't admit anything when I had to RMA it (once I actually got through, service was poor tbh), but their outsourced repair company confirmed they were different.

My original monitor was an 'excellent' S-panel (i.e. from Samsung's factory), the RMA replacement I got recently I'm not sure and haven't checked. It's very very good, but without it beside the old one, I don't think I could tell the difference. Neither were ever calibrated though. If anything the older one was a bit warmer in colour. Less backlight bleed on the newer one too.

Thanks for your comments anyway, I think I'm going to go with the P2450H, it's a decent price now again and I prefer the looks over the other enough I think.

Looks like I'll be putting the recently acquired HD5870 to work finally!

 

[Dervious]

I`ve had my P2450H for a couple of months now.

Bought it on spec/looks (after much research/changing of mind).

Must admit I didn`t buy it from here, but I`ll make up for it by strongly recommending taking advantage of this offer. It`s a really nice monitor, both in image quality and looks. PCM2 is the person to ask if you want a more enlightened opinion, but I`ll just say that it`s a great monitor.

 

[alex24]

Thanks for your input, I've pretty much made up my mind now, just need the funds to clear for the sale of my old one first.

Anything you don't like about the monitor at all? Anything you think could be better?

Me ?

OK, the simple answer is "not much".

The only thing that I have mentioned before is about the glossy bezel surrounding the screen. I was concerned about the face of the bezel reflecting the light in the room. This never proved to be a problem at all. A very (VERY !) minor issue is that the inside of the bezel reflectes the edges of the image on the screen. It`s one of those things that you notice if you are looking for it, but after a few seconds you get on with your work/game/www etc and it isn`t an issue.

The design and look of the monitor is really good. I prefer the squarer, more "Monitor" look than some of the other Samgungs which look more like TVs, with their more rounded looks.

As far as technical performance goes, I`m certainly no expert, but have owned 2 or LCD screens before this one. This is the best one I`ve owned, in terms of picture quality and the fact that it is 16:9. I know people talk about colour acuracy, but that`s never been something that concerns me with a monitor (as long as white looks white). Being an ex TV engineer, I`ve seen my fair share of greyscale problems, but LCD screens are way better than the old CRTs. I struggled with the wide view at first (I honestly thought I`d made a bad decision). Now, I`d never go back to a 4:3 screen.

So, although I didn`t have the luxury of putting 3 or 4 monitors side by side, calibrating and comparing them, I`d still say the P2450 is a good monitor, which looks very nice, and is being sold at a fair price. There is talk of this model being end of line. I always think "so what ?". I bought a Toshiba 37" LCD TV nearly 4 years ago. It was about a month before they stopped making that model. The next models Toshiba launched were no where near as good as the one I bought. Even to this day, it produces a picture which looks as good as many new models, even from other manufacturers. Samsung may have, or be about to replace the P2450, but unless there has been a sudden development in LCD technology, then the replacements are not likely to be massive improvement. Often, with tech products, new models are launched which are as much about cheaper manufacturing costs, than a better performing product.

I have contacted a very knowledgeable individual from Samsung's PR technical department - the P2450 was originally going to go EOL/discontinued but due to the exceptional popularity they are keeping it in circulation. This is why there has been a sudden stock resurgence. The gentleman I contacted believed a large part of this was due to the unique styling of the monitor - it seems they are taking note of this and hopefully it will only be discountinued once a true successor is launched with similar styling.

 

[alex24]

Great information from both of you, firstly that's reassuring that the monitor is a decent one, secondly well done on finding that out PCM2, explains a lot! With any luck Samsung will move away from making monitors that look more and more like TVs.

 

[PCM2]

I'm really looking forward to seeing what they can do with OLEDs too. They offer so much flexibility (literally in some cases) and can be completely bezelless and extremely thin. The designers can let their imaginations run wild - given the natural square shape of the screen and surplus nature of any real bezel I do think the P2450H type of 'square' styling is here to stay.

 

[alex24]

Indeed, though you may have heard recently that one of the pioneers of OLED tech, Toshiba, have announced they're no longer producing any and concentrating on LCDs instead, blaming the economic downturn.

I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S and I can't believe sometimes how good the OLED screen is. Blacks are, well, actually black! Colours are so vivid too.


Samsung P2450H ordered btw Thanks for all the input.

Samsung P2450H ordered btw Thanks for all the input.

Toshiba Mobile Display (a joint division of Toshiba and Panasonic) actually just froze their plans to mass-produce OLEDs due to the current economic situation and lack of mass-market appeal (at the moment). There is nothing particularly unusual about this and it reminds me of Samsung announcing that they do not plan to release OLED screens until they have real mass-market appeal. This is in stark contrast to LG's approach - they are of course the first major player to have released an OLED TV and plan to release a 30" OLED TV next year, perhaps as early as March. Compared to Toshiba MD Samsung and LG are really gigantic players in the OLED race and given how much money and time they are investing in OLED production they are not gonna stop now.

And glad you ordered the P2450H - let us know how you get on and please do post over on my forums too once you get it. Lots of people have been contacting me wanting it back in stock and now it is they'll want to know what it's like.

 

[alex24]

Happily, I'll be getting delivery of it on monday as that's the first time I can get time off. I'll spend a little time setting it up and convey my impressions.

I hope (more like - know !) you`ll be happy with it.

I await to hear your opinions.

Although I spend more time using my P2450 than gawping at it, it`s still a lovely looking screen.

Thanks PCM2 for the bit of "inside info". And well done Samsung for keeping this model available for a little longer.

The only thing I`d change in terms of styling, is that I`d give the inside edge of the bezel a matt finish. Maybe Samsung might take note ?
