ok, sorry another thread looking for some help, but the more i look at model numbers and specs the more confused i get !
am currently using a very reliable Dell 19" CRT that must be closer to 10 yrs old than 5. been looking to get a decent size LCD for around 3 yrs but first we moved house and then we had a baby so it got put on hold.
finally a rather big birthday is coming up very soon and so a monitor is once again on the cards and i wont have to pay for it!
now i mainly play WoW or some TF2 - I DONT play the latest FPS stuff. I may look to buy Empire Total War on its release.
my pc aint the newest or fastest. graphics card wise i've only (currently) got a Radeon X1950 Pro 512mb DDR3. So you may tell me a 24" is a bad choice and even a 22" ? although i could look to get another card if necessary......
for various reasons i've settled on looking at getting a Samsung or DELL.
i've been looking at the
Dell SP2309W 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Dell UltraSharp 2209WA 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - which was pre order earlier today and now out of stock ?
Samsung SM2233BW Cream 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Samsung SM2333SW 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black
Samsung T220 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Samsung T240 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Samsung SM2443BW 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Samsung SM2433BW 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor
what are the real differences apart from the obvious (small) size differences.
does it matter if one quotes 2ms and another 5ms ?
or how some quote 3000:1 contrast and others 20000:1 and some even upto 80000:1 ?
or the difference in a quoted resolution of 2048x1152 or 1920x1200
i've seen some called 16:9 and others 16:10 aspect ?
whats with a SM2433 24" versus a SM2443 ?! £10 difference ? the samsung numbers and letters seem espicailly confusing and similar !
and why is the Samsung T series seemingly dearer for a same 24" size ?
talk about giving me a headache
thank you in advance for some help and guidance for my nearest and dearest spending her cash on me
