Ello guys,

Havent popped in here for a while but glad to see the forums are still going strongly!

Im currently looking for a TFT monitor, don't wan't to spend too much but am considering going for this one.

Found it cheapest on [link]

Any thoughts and suggestions?
Also how would it handle DigiTV? Given it's a 16:10 wide, and the resolution is pretty high.

Thanks, Mat.

Hi Mat,

How's the whether your side of Lexden road

Monitor looks good, certainly a nice price.

I was looking at this one too - found a review here

Not sure what HD resolutions there are in the UK but my only worry would be the vertical resolution of 900 pixels - this means a 1080 resolution broadcast has the be reduced - which is bound to reduce quality.

Of course, a true 1080 vertical res monitor is going to cost 10 times as much

<edit> although I think Benq do one which would be about 800 quid</edit>

I'm not an expert on wide-screen aspect monitors either, but the resolution on that one looks pretty low? Considering the monitor I'm using right now is a 17" 4:3 aspect but its resolution is 1280x1024.

So they're both effectively about 1.3 megapixels, but one is 19 inch? Or is that the norm for 19" WS monitors...

I think I'll do some investigation...

1440x900 is pretty standard for 19" widescreen.

The only way you will be able to get proper WS 1080 is going up to something like a 23"+ WS which has a native resolution of 1920x1200.

20" WS are usually native 1680x1050.

But then the price just starts going towards the sky......

HTH,

Cheers guys. Think I will go ahead and order one tonight off PixMania.
What's the issue with dead/stuck pixels? Iv read rumours that Samsung offer a zerodead pixel policy?
