Thread: Monitor - 17" or 19" ?

Lets say both have native resolution of 1440 x 900.
I'm concerned about Texture Pixelate and noise. Plz reply.

I think I'll go for Samsung because of high contrast ratio.

with all the above specifications, one also consider the following things.

1.just go for a high dynamic contrast ratio.
2.minimum response time.

if you ask me,
i go for response time and dynamic contrast ratio first
and then i will consider the size.
because size is not factor of performance.

useful

In the 17 inch sector i checked a lot of LCDs i found Samsung had the least Response time around 4ms ... among the available models i mean .

View sonic seems to have lost the plot .... they were once the best , but samsung seems to have beat them yet again

here r 2 models with 2ms in samsung :
Samsung T220 22” (Wide) Rose Black 2ms
Samsung T240 24” (Wide) Rose Black 2ms

These r the ONLY 2 monitors frm samsung with 2ms, as shadow has alrdy pointed out, none in the 17'' segement have 2ms response time.

But they r on a Singapore pricelist.

Also, viewsonic is very limited in india, but other places, it has some gr8 stuff.

View sonic had the fastest response time once. But competition has increased now and other companies are also producing good products. Buyers have to consider the availabilty of support also and thus they go for more natively popular companies.

Anyway. The first thing before buying bigger monitor it should be considered that they have higher native resoultion and thus better gpu is required. So I had to go for 19".
22" has 1680 x 1050 native resolution. Playing games would have been difficult there with my 8600 GT.

playing games with an 8600GT will always be difficult.

just curious, how much does a 15inch lcd monitor cost these days?

-F

my laptop screen is 15" I think.

15 inch lcd monitor would cost anything between Rs5500 - 9000 depending upon the brand and features.

well guys, i would like to mention that contrast ratio means nothing, every company has it's own standard and there;s no uniform standard for it in the industry, so contrast ratio just fools customer's into buyin' them....go for samsung thouhg (coz i wouldn't got for samsung for anything else anyways...)

i'm into animation thats why i love to but the 19" one.......plz mention ur work for what u wamt to buy it......

For hardcore animators there are touch screen monitors where you can treat the entire screen like a drawing board. But you should go for a normal TFT-LCD 22" monitor or above. For animation the bigger the better. Its needed as you have to work in multiple monitors. You should also get a decent GPU for that and use dual monitors for working in multiple windows.

I've always heard that CRT's are good for those dealing with graphics stuff coz they display colours better , Is this true or LCD's are good too ?

who was misguiding u bout that hardcore animators use touch screen monitors......i've seen in most of the studios that all the people using 21" CRT monitors........but not in INDIA they shifted to TFT ones coz they are cheap than the bigger CRT ones(INDIA is all bout compromise).......nd the multiple monitors or dual monitors are used only for post-production work and for lighting........

Not anymore. It used to be the case when one had to look at the LCDs at 0 Degree view angle or else.....

All gaming industries (P.S. I'm not talking of flash games) uses TFT (for programming,Animation,Level Design, Testing, Art Design, etc) and Touch screen(level Design,Art Design and multimedia stuff) monitors only now a days.

For my LCD monitor its easily 140 Degrees.

why people use TFT for programming.....

the touch screens are only using by BG artists........
