Sabr Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well, my 17" CRT monitor is slowly dying (making that high pitch noise) and so I think it's time to buy a new monitor. I've narrowed it down to these two: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....rodid=MO-050-SA http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct....rodid=MO-045-LG Both of them have got really good reviews, but I was just wondering if the Samsung is worth the extra £20 or so? I'm good with computers, but when it comes to monitors, I don't really have a clue which are better and why... Anyway, some advice would be really helpful here. Thanks. - Sabr.

Sabr Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Why though? I know it's cheaper, but a lot of reviews have said the Samsung is better (something to do with a deeper black)...

R2k. Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 i have lg l1720b for about 4 years.i pay for it about 400 euros. since than i`m big lg (just monitor) fan. beside that ,samsung`s colors are not so "live" like lg`s. and samsung`s picture is too sharped. if you don`t believe me go to some store and see,but no mater what chose you make,it`s good chose. i just tell you my opinion. ~R Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61232-advice-with-a-22-tft-monitor/#findComment-434489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabr Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 Well, despite what you two said, I went with the Samsung Mainly because I had heard such good reviews about it over the LG. Got it from here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-SM226BW-Wi...8054&sr=8-1 - Sabr.

Misha Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I have Samsung 226 BW and it's great TFT !!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61232-advice-with-a-22-tft-monitor/#findComment-438928 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onetrack Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I'm also running a 22" @ 1650x1080 and I love all the screen real-estate. Mind you my vga out is going to a 9' projector screen @ 1280x720 Mine is an AcerAL2216W and I have no complaints at all, its a samsung panel inside it btw. DVI from the geforce 7300GT is clean and crisp, no image bleed at all, colours are vibrant. I'd really like a glossy screen over a matt screen, but I can't complain about the price of it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61232-advice-with-a-22-tft-monitor/#findComment-439043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
