Hardware Buying a new monitor

[Westside]

I wanted to buy a new monitor (not online, as I will only buy in-store), and I came across a ridiculously high price cut on a Westinghouse 24 inch. However, there is also option of 20 Inch Samsung or 19 Inch Samsung. What to do... hmm...

If you can wait till friday check out the black friday ads if they have them in your area. 22" Acer for $169 at Circuit City, and there are other sales for simular monitors.

There are some good deals from Dell too right?
there are coupons from gottadeal.com all the time

I suggest you get this 22'' Samsung:

Very good monitor and at a good price too.

Hmm.... Thanks I guess... I just wanted to know if westinghouse was any good, since it was such a huge price cut.

It wasn't a huge price cut, Newegg has the same monitor for 420$, it has always been like that. Best Buy is tricking people into making it seem like they are getting discounts.

Its 350USD on Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824255001), and no, it isn't the greatest panel.

Unless you're a very hardcore gamer, the ViewSonic VX2255wmb is a better choice for the same price.

If it's the Same Price how would an inferior monitor be better? Also they aren't the same, the Samsung is better and cheaper.

Oye. Do you ever get tired of backing up your factless claims? The VX2255wmb has noticeably better color than the 226BW, and an integrated web cam (not a deciding factor, but nice to have anyways). The only reason you would consider getting the 226BW is if you're a tourney-level hardcore gamer because of its slightly faster response time, and in that case, you'd want a smaller 19" displays with even less.

It's not factless newegg's specs clearly shows the Samsung is superior, The Samsung is brighter, though it has the same res, it also has a faster response rate and for cheaper, spending extra money for a webcam? Why bother? I doubt there are any 19'' with 1ms response rate. Face it, the Samsung is the better buy. If he needs a Webcam he gets the Viewsonic, if he doesn't the Samsung is obviously better.

I too would like to find a better monitor...

Oh, and...
Shut the FUCK up!

 

[Urza]

Because manufacturer specs are the end all be all of quality right?

Don't be such a naive consumer.

Its not all about response time. The smaller 19" models have less input lag and better response time control (aka overdrive). There may not be as much ghosting, but you'll still have an actual delay against your opponents with faster monitors.

I recommend starting with that thread I linked earlier. It'll fill you in on the basics of what you should look for.

I'm done, there's no point in arguing with you. I know the Samsung is better. But since your in Denial, I won't bother to keep this conversation going.

Apologies for the off-topic post, but I couldn't help it.

 

[Urza]

You still didn't tell me how the Viewsonic is better.

Go back to start. Do not collect $200.

Urza, this isn't the testing forum. And Ze, he's trying to be silly, he's no longer talking about the topic at hand.

I'm sorry but my last post was not spam. I just hate how he always tries to argue and have the last word. Like an immature baby.

Your post wasn't spam, but it was a reply to an off-topic discussion that no longer exists. Anywho continue with the topic. Monitor deals and such.
