Hi, if anyone remembers, I've actually got another thread up a few months ago, but I decided to give it a wait.
But now I have decided to get a good 19" LCD within the month, and I'm quite undecided, given the huge range out there at the moment.
Okay, here's a short description on what I'm looking for:
1. I don't care about how it looks, and it should be a deciding factor only if there's 2 equivalent products. Give me the ugliest you can find as long as it performs.
2. I do most of my DVD watching on computer. Given that most movies I like now have alot of night scenes, good black reproduction is very important.
3. I've got people doing photo and video editing, so colour is somewhat important. Doesn't really concern me, but hey, I'm a nice guy.
4. I do some gaming, so I'm not gonna use 16ms monitors, 12ms is the max. Dependent on type of monitor of course, 12ms is TFT min.
5. Brands don't concern me, but a reasonable warranty does. I'll let you define reasonable.
6. Base size is unimportant.
7. Money is no object.
8. Must be available in Australia. IMPORTANT. Not gonna import one.
I have done some research on the subject, and I have a few models in mind.
1. Viewsonic VP930B. Its been getting really good reviews in most sites. 8bit panel too!
2. Hyundai L90D+. Been somewhat a favourite in alot of sites I've been to. However, I think there's some major issues, and its a pretty old model.
3. Philips 190X5. May be a little hard to find for me.
4. Samsung 960BF. New contender as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't dig up any serious reviews on this monitor, no idea how it performs.
Will welcome any extra monitors you think I should be looking at. Of course, I'd need more than "I have it and I think its awesome" kind of replies.
Will appreciate replies.
p.s. I don't like the Samsung 930bf, even though alot of people have been recommending that.
