Hi All,

I am dying to upgrade my 15inch CRT monitor to the LCD panel below.


The price and specification seem good. Anyone using it? Really need more working space on the desktop nowadays sia.

Cheers,
Mike

Hi guys, I would recommend Philips if you are getting LCD monitors. In terms of warranty, they provide really unbeatable deals and their quality check of their products are so strict and excellent, they provide perfect screen or something like that kind of warranty where u can call their man down to service it even if there's only one small dead or faulty pixel lor! haha! good right? they can offer that because their QC is very good and that's why their monitors are power and lifespan is longer than many other brands too! haha! I'm not from Philips but I am a satisfied and convinced customer of theirs.

Hehe, will look around see what they offering first ^_^ Will update again next time.

Philips got any 19" LCD with DVI (free DVI cable) at $399?

[wong_se]

Philips 19inch would not be that cheap at $399. But the warranty is good. They would repair deadpixel even there is only 1 pixel is dead.

BenQ 19inch wide screen at $399...is the market fasted LCD. 5ms.

Compared to Dell 19in, 8ms but at $439.

Ok, so what will be the model and price for Philips 19" with DVI?

That will be the Philips 190B6 series S$499 + free DVI cable. Perfect panel warranty with 8ms response time...
but think you not consider that, I am a sad owner of it, buy because of the warranty (Was $720 last time).
Not really good for photo editing or movies due to the low contrast ratio (600:1) and brightness of 250cd/m2

samsung CRT for the win again. gamers can't really use LCD so no point =\.

Acer has two models of 19inch at $399 too. selling at PS carrefour. one is widescreen 19inch, n one is normal type 19inch. the wide screen one quite nice. wanted to get that too perhaps. model is 1916W i think.

I din look into that brand coz it done have the Wide Screen version of 19". But there got a number of $399 19" around from that brand.

Actually i just go tthe Viewsonic 19" 1912WB at $399 with free DVi cable. And got a 128MB thumbdrive from lucky draw.

I want the BenQ one, but need to wait for 2 weeks then can get stock, same case with Samsung. So I left with no choice with ViewSonic, after seeing the demo. It look good to me. So just grab it without wasting my trip and time.

The two model is selling at $359 and $369 but without DVi suppport. I skip that brand straight away

for a quick comparison...BenQ 19inch at $399 free DVI cable. 5ms response time, now the fastest in the market. Contrast Ratio 700:1, 300cd/m2.

but not sure about the quaility of BenQ, Anyone can share their experience with BenQ LCD..?

Yes, it is wide screen. But the spec not as good as BenQ lah.

[Isaiahfortythirtyone]

i bought the LG L1952S for $380. 1400:1 contrast ratio, 8ms. Looks fantastic. half the thickness of the BenQ one.
