U'd be better off with the Samsung, given the choice of the 2, mostly as it's maximum resolution is actually 1920x1200. A maximum 1920x1080 screen would pish me off tbh. Maximum 1920x1080 screens are a cop-out to give a user a screen capable of viewing movies, but imo gaming looks and desktop use is a bit sucky. Ofc the ratios are correct for movies, but hey.

It appears oos at the link, but ebuyer are selling it, aswell as dabs

yep i was kind of swinging towards the sammy, tbh if the only downside is black borders when watching HD movies then that dont bother me at all

I dont know what ex display means from somewhere like ebuyer but as i am aware they dont have a showroom in the factory?...

Anyways take a look at this one, http://www.ebuyer.com/product/168056

It looks like you get 1920x1200 and rgb / dvi / and hdmi connections aswell as getting £15 cashback, however that works.

Ask tinytomlogan about them as he has 2 and he seems impressed.

Good luck finding the right monitor.

tbh i dont like this bit

Product Condition

Cosmetic Damage - The item is damaged or scratched but fully operative

that could mean anything, imagine buying it and its got a scratch on the screen, i would be gutted lol

 

[Ian Evey]

Yeah i never saw that part.

Usually its just the box thats damaged.

Oh well i would still get a samsung over any other monitor.

make sure you getting a glass screen not the TFT film... The glass is better for in home use and do offer superior video. TFT film usually have a light bleed especially the 24 inch most likely you will have some... I have HP 2408h 24" hi-def the monitor has no light bleed and its great for watching hi-definition games and movies (porn looks so much better, LOL).

 

[Rastalovich]

(porn looks so much better, LOL).

It's crazy, but u would be very surprized how many computer based/related sales are made and legitimized over just that statement.

 

[shorts]

lol

so does that sammy one have a glass screen, cant tell tbh

 

[bbcake009]

Its better for you to go to store in person. In case you have a problem it can easily be resolve without spending extra money...

 

[shorts]

i wish that was an easy option, unfortunatly there isnt anywhere that close to me to be able to

 

[bbcake009]

With the size of monitor you want most likely you will have problems with it mostly the light bleed besides the dead fixel.

if its only a 3 hours drive i do it, trust me its worht it....
