 Hah, who needs HDMI?
Review of LG W2452T by

Advantages: Quality. pure and simple.
Disadvantages: No HDMI, or wall obvious wall mounting options
When I bought this from PC World, I mistook the HDCP badge on the front to mean HDMI, so I was initially disappointed when I got it home. since it has only vga and dvi. Once I switched it on, I was no longer disappointed. using a HDMI to DVI cable (from sainsburys, so not rare) I connected it to my xbox360 and watched a HD-DVD at 1080p. pin sharp and better than my 32". I forgot all about returning it, and remain pleased with it 2 months later.

...back. I think it can be done, but not using my current wall mount.
Games look great. and as a PC monitor, it is, well, beautiful. as well as the huge 1920 resolution, it has a pin sharp display, with text easily readable at default font sizes.
It is quite thick compared to my 22" monitor, probably around 4" at the widest point, but it still looks very good, with a shiny black finish. I was considering a cheaper 24" make than this, but they couldnt ...

Review of Samsung SyncMaster 245B by

Advantages: Price
Disadvantages: Poor Viewing Angles, Uneven Colours
After hearing Rave reviews I bought one of these at around £310.
I was really looking forward to getting it, Anyway I was really disappointed, the big problem with this monitor is that the image isn't consistent across the screen.
It uses the cheaper TN LCD panel and because the screen is so big you really notice the poor viewing angle. The screen is noticeable darker at the top than the bottom.
To sum up, you get what you pay for, if you want ...

BenQ FP241W review :)
Review of BenQ FP241W by
kyran07
Advantages: Big, lots of inputs, best in range
Disadvantages: Splash screen cannot turn off
I got this monitor for christmas and have been using it for my PC and PS3. It's FullHD (1080p) and has 6 video inputs. (HDMI, DVI-D, D-Sub (or VGA), S-Video, and Composite and Component). It has a very nice stand and comes with a number of cables. It has two USBs at the side and one of the top for webcams. In use, I've loved it. Perfect if you want 1080p HD and don't have the budget for a 42" plasma. Some people may but put off by the low contrast . |
