Need Suggestion for Samsung BX2035 20'' LED

[quanta08]

Hi all,

I need a quick suggestions about Samsung BX2035 20'' LED Monitor. It has 1600x900 resolution and DVI input. All I need to know, does this LCD is suffice for my GTX 465 and good for Gaming at its native resolution ???. I have a limited budget so wont go for 1080p at 22'' or 24''.

Depends on the games and graphic settings.

See benchmarks in the following review when pair with the i7 920 CPU. The closet resolutions would be 1680 x 1050 and 1920 x 1200. Naturally the lower the resolution the better the performance.

So how u rate 1600x900 resolution? Is it just below average or adequate for gaming in budget range?

at 20" in size i'd go with a 1920x1080 (1080p) monitor unless you have very bad eyesight. Games will look better and they really arent very expensive. this is pretty much the standard for budget gamers.

see the review mentioned previously.

remember that with a set screen size, the more pixels you pack into the screen the more clear everything will be. however, this also means more processing power is needed and by default text is a little smaller. it all comes down to your preference and you checking the chart.

Actually, 1920x1080 resolution is hard to find at 20 inch size, but I don't see how budget constraints should stop you from considering a 22 inch. The best price I see for a new Samsung BX2035 is about $160, but I found the Viewsonic VA2231w-LED for about $150:

I would say most people have 1600 x 900 or 1680 x 1050 monitors. But since 1920 x 1080 monitors are pretty inexpensive people are going to "upgrade" their monitors sooner or later.

1600 x 900 is fine for gaming with the GTX 465. If you can live with medium quality graphic settings on demanding games like Crysis series and Metro 2033, then get a 1920 x 1080 monitor.

the Viewsonic VA2231w-LED is a good choice though.
How about this deal --Samsung 2494LW 23.6" 5ms HDMI LCD Monitor $140.00?

Looks sweet, right??

Samsung 2494LW is good, but i am only interested in LED.

 

[quanta08]

What about this one ??

HP HP x22LED (1080p)

a few more things to add....

there really isnt too much difference between ccfl/most led monitors when it comes to quality. the only big difference i have seen is with high dollar tvs which have "zones" that are individually led lit to give a more uniform backlighting. people have said that by default led backlit screens can look a little blue (but i'm sure youc an adjust them)

TN panels will be cheaper, smaller viewing angle
IPS panels will be more vivid/higher viewing angle but cost more

Why?

LCD monitors with LED backlight generally have colors that are shifted to be slightly bluish which is directly related to the LED backlight. This is because blue LEDs are used with a yellow phosphorus coating to imitate white.

That's why I selected this one HP x22LED http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/ [...] 90105.html



This one has White LED back light which i think eliminate the bluish colors effects. What you think????

LED monitors have sharper image and more vivid colors then non LED LCD's and also have low power consumption.

Link does not work.

LED = W-LED = White LED. Same thing. Blue LED with yellowish phosphorous coating to imitate white.

RGB-LED can truly create white since it uses Red, Green and Blue LEDs to create white. This is very expensive at the moment and not used on consumer level LCD monitors. It would probably add $200 - $300 to the cost of a monitor.

LED is simply the backlight, it will not make shapes look sharper; the LCD panel itself determines how sharp an image can appear. It will not make colors look more vivid; you want a glossy screen for that. It does consume about 15w - 20w less power than traditional CCFL (florescent) backlight though for a 22" monitor.

Addtionally, LED backlight LCD monitors are all edge lit which is why they are thin and consume less power. They do not have a full backlight array like CCFL backlit LCD monitors. The light from the edge passes through an amorphous material which reflects light towards the viewer. Therefore, "LED monitors" are more prone to have uneven backlighting than traditional CCFL LCD monitors.

So in short summary, you can say that if anyone wants to go for the LED then spend some more money to grab a decent RGB-LED monitor otherwise stick to CCFL LCD monitors.

Basically yes.

There are no decently priced RGB-LED monitors in the consumer level product. They are only found in monitors for professional graphics usage.

The LG W2420R is and example of a RGB-LED backlit monitor which uses a S-IPS panel and is currently priced at £ 1,039.36, which is a lot cheaper than when it was first introduced at £ 1,750.00.
