Chosing bwtween BenQ E2200Hd and Samung 2233sw

[swarna]

Hi guys i want to buy one of these monitor but unable to decide on which one. If possible i can go for 24'' model between these companies . What should one looked for while choosing the model either go for pure technical specification or after sale service and all .. plz hlep..

[shought]

The specifications are exactly the same (except for the DCR (Dynamic Contrast Ratio), but 10000 : 1 is far more than sufficient).

I'd say have a look at the pixel guarantee (which might differ) and then just pick one, they really don't differ other than the service you might (not) get ;)

I'd go for the Samsung.

PS: I got a Samsung SyncMaster 2333SW (23") and I LOVE it.

they seem to be doing good for quite some time now . ( the lcd panel of my desktop is 7 years old and hasnt given a single complaint ! )

p.s. -- if ever u need it , Samsung has a much better service network than BenQ...

Thank u all but heard lot about Benq . how's the service in your country. Even Anadtech recommends for Benq E2200 , I know samsung is much better in after sale services but pic and quality wise (mostly watching HD 720P contents ) which one would be great , The build quality of samsung is great but all that shine is not gold . So should i really go for Samsung :(

@swarna

i agree with atasas on samsung monitors .

they are good bang for every buck spent .

( off the record ,,,a friend of mine is in the samsung after sales department n he told me that even there are some lcd models which samsung manufactures for sony ! i dont know if thats all true , but an insider is telling , so must be something to it .... ;)

and regarding HD content ( be it 720p or 1080p ) ,

any screen , capable of displaying resolutions greater than 1280X720 is HD .

u cannot enjoy or rather the eye cannot appreciate the real quality of full High Definition unless the screen size is 40" .

below 40 , to the normal eye 720p or 1080p will never make a difference .

in other words , one cannot tell the real picture quality , below 40"

( of course , the quality does improve from standard DVD resolution , but is it 720 lines progressive scanning or 1080 p scanning , the eye cannot appreciate )

;)

if budget is not the problem , go for atleast 34" lcd screen which has an HDMI or a PC connectivity port and you will be able to use it as a tv monitor as well as your computers screen .

a good entertainment hub ;)

never tried BenQ or even seen anyone with it , so sorry no comments .

but if it impresses you ,

go for it ..

( but remember , its a gadget and can break down any time . after sales come here .....)

You are correct here, at least in my case. I have Sony LCD TV 37''. I watched some 720p and 1800p movies, and I can't tell the difference. I think that even on higher LCD, maybe event on 50'' you can't tell the difference if you have some 720p content which has video quality of 5-6 MBps.

Cheers ;)

+1.

a high bit rate recording on a 720p , will or should almost match the video quality at 1080p .

at less than 40" , it is almost impossible to tell from the naked eye ( or else u read it from the Movie case ! )

and at bigger screens also,, the difference should not be much , that can make you drool ....

and why is it so ----

because 1080p scanning is only 1.5 times more than 720p !!!!:dance2:

( it only is a foolish marketing strategy by the companies , a720p TV and a 1080p TV ,,, and still there are people who dont even actually know what HD is or what P is !!!...)

if we are talking appreciable difference in quality , and a pretty good one ,

let come the day of Ultra HD .

the still experimental but soon to be launched commercially,, next gen HD format promises resolutions of upto 7,680 x 4,320 pixels.... ( 33 million pixels ) that is 4320 scanning lines rather than conventional HD 1080 .

or in other words ,,,, a video resolution containing 16 times as many pixels as current HD.

and with a sound support of upto 24 digital sound channels in three vertical layers !!!!

now this is one hell of a difference ....;)

let it come ....

Thank u majithia23 about the explanation and suggestion , maybe i will go with samsung , but still want to know are there any good models in 22''. No no to nec ,asus, Hp , gateway, even dell(some of them are really costly).

Samsung is powered by magic, you can't go wrong. :lol:

Although if I were you I'd buy the HP gloss BrightView screen for computer displays. Almost every manufacturer makes matte anti-glare computer monitors which make no sense since these things are typically used indoors. Ironically they put gloss screens on laptops which are used outside where there is tons of glare.

You ever noticed how a glossy Laptop LCD looks so much better than a matte one? Or how much easier it is on the eyes? The anti-glare coating disperses light in a way that hurts your eyes after extended close up exposure, the Glossy screen does not have this effect. Only downfall is a glossy screen looks like a mirror and has plenty reflections if there are sources of bright light behind it.

HP 2159m 21.5" Diagonal Full HD Widescreen LCD Monitor is an excellent choice, you won't regret it. Forget contrast ratio, those are dynamic contrast ratios, nearly all LCD has the same static contrast ratio of 1000:1. What you do need is less than 5ms response time to eliminate ghosting.

Don't worry about colour accuracy either, you cannot get a colour accurate monitor for under $900USD so skip over that feature when choosing. In fact regular monitors don't even bother to quote their Adobe RGB specs because of how low it is so that won't even be a problem. The only brands that make reliable colour accurate panels are NEC, Eizo, LaCie. Apple isn't in their league but their Cinema displays come with IPS panels and are capable of about 90% Adobe RGB which make them an excellent contender. For once you will actually get your money's worth out of an Apple branded item.

You also need to look for full 1080p, some monitors advertise 1080p resolution and 16:9 AR but they lie and they really only do 1050p natively.

As for your BENQ vs Samsung query, I have seen better reviews for BENQ than Samsung. Samsung seems to have more problems with backlight bleeding and colour reproduction than BENQ so really if I had to pick between those 2 I'd go for the BENQ. Bear in mind Samsung "touch of color" is not a real feature, that is just the sleek finish they put on the Cabinet.
