I say the LG, but that's only cause I like how the bottom is rounded off.. Other than that, they look pretty equal.

MadCow809 · September 1st, 2008, 7:49 AM

Samsung > LG IMO

pepitko · September 1st, 2008, 8:18 AM

I wanted the Samsung for work, but was refused one, because of the ongoing cost cutting images/smilies/sad.gif

There's a third option iiyama B2403WS or E2403WS (with/without pivot) http://www.trustedreviews.com/displa...WS-24in-LCD/p1

http://www.trustedreviews.com/images/article/inline/5285-IMG7957s.jpg

I've got one of those and i'm very happy so far.

MXM · September 1st, 2008, 12:25 PM

I have LG W2452T-PF, which looks exactly like the one in the first post. Same specs too, I think it's the same panel.

Anyway, I don't like it one bit. I guess it's a general problem of TN panels, but view angles are killing me. Horizontal is ok, but vertical is very limited. Which means there's NO position from 1m distance at which all picture looks uniform. Either bottom is blown out or top is too dark. In addition regular TN banding issues and I'm still having troubles to match colors with my very old 19" samsung which is PVA (and which I think is more accurate in this respect).

But what can you expect for that price... It's great for games and movies.

As much as I am thankful of your reply. The monitor you linked me to is from Europe, so shipping and taxes and duty would be about 100$ if I was lucky, secondly that costs 250pounds...which is about 450$ so I have to say no on that one.

THanks though. images/smilies/lol.gif

Sorry didn't know that it was only available in yurop images/smilies/oops.gif

For not much more you could ditch the TN and get an awesome MVA. I got my 24" Westinghouse for $400 for example and it has a 500cd/m^2 (brighter than both of those) and a 1000:1 contrast ratio (real, not that dynamic crap).

ahpadt · September 2nd, 2008, 1:28 AM

MVA/PVA FTW!

Isn't the westinghouse 24" not available any more? I haven't been really following but I thought it was replaced by the 26.1" or something?

Btw, a 24" isn't TOO big at all =) I'm very very used to mine and I feel like my 20" ws is very small now.

Yeah, I could easily go for bigger.

RoCkStaR · September 7th, 2008, 2:14 AM

I would go with the Samsung, My first LCD monitor is a Samsung and it lasted for more than 4 years now, they are wonderful.

I tried to find some reviews for you but I think that uts relatively new so couldn't find any images/smilies/dry.gif

biasasaja · September 7th, 2008, 8:00 PM

I currently using a samsung 19" monitor but if I have the money, I would go for LG because it is better than samsung by a bit more.

Jmiller · September 8th, 2008, 10:11 PM

I agree with what viper and the other guy said. Dont get the TN pannle. Can anyone make a good recommendation. I want something thats adjustable up and down and nice, I do photography so colors should be good but im also a student so I dont want to spend a ton.

essentialatom · September 8th, 2008, 11:05 PM

From what I've read in recent months, Samsungs have been getting pretty decent reviews. I bought a Dell 2408WFP a few months ago, but it's at the expensive end of 24-inch monitors.

If it were up to me I'd choose the Samsung, though the lack of an HDMI input would grate.
