Well I'm a big fan of Samsung, so it would be my first choice.
Followed closely by the LG, then the Dell, then the Ben-Q.

lg is one of the best ones as far as quality i listed there though the samsung seems to be right with it but lacks and hdmi connector. im so torn as to which to buy its driving me mad.

 

[mattspalace]

HDMI is pretty pointless with a monitor so don't sweat that too much.. The LG does have nice specs, but look about equal to the Samsung. Either of those would be a fine choice IMO - I chose the Sammy because I've owned a few myself; therefore it gets the nod.

 

[Automiketic]

thanks matt i appreciate it. I have feeling its going to be the one I buy since I can just run to the store and pick up no messing with shipping and all that.

 

[mattspalace]

Good point about just grabbing it from the store - at least if there's some issue, it can simply be returned for another.

No sweat, enjoy! The Samsung is purdy; that I will say.

dont know if it still is but dell tvs and monitors used to be re branded samsungs

 

[Automiketic]

i have heard that they share panels occasionally i assume this is what you are talking about.

well one last delema...i can get the 2494sw for the same price as the p2350. ones a 24" the other is 23". they have identical specs except the 23" has a 2ms response time where the 24" only has 5ms response time. I plan to use this monitor to game on. which would you choose?

I enjoyed the hellacrispness of the LG XX53 range personally.

Flip a coin, either would be fine.

 

[Automiketic]

i think im gonna grab the 24" if the response time is too slow i should be able to just return it. gonna go to best buy and ask a few questions on saturday.

[Automiketic]

i did see those and they look nice but i cant really find any reviews on them

 

[mattspalace]

I'd go over to Sam's Club and check out the Samsung since it's just a drive away.

 

[Automiketic]

yeah im gonna do some browsing tomorrow i think. ill let u all know what i end up with and my thoughts thanks again everyone

 

[Nechen]

thanks for the response though this is the first I have heard anyone speak poorly of samsung or lg. I have owned both and never had a problem personally.

Probably just me then - I'm just basing that off of two bad panels I had back in 2007.

I'd rather just stick with what I know is good like a Dell w/ an AU Optronics Panel in it *shrug*

 

[Automiketic]

yeah u cant take one product and base ur opinion about an entire brand off it. if so u could say well dell computers suck so their monitors must as well. u know?

 

[Nechen]

Meh not necessarily - I just found that most Dell monitors have AUO Panels in them and that the Samsung and LG panels are usually Chi-Mei (CHO) Panels or something of the like.

TFTcentral.co.uk is a great source for finding out what panel is in the monitor you're looking at

 

[Automiketic]

i see. well i wouldnt know which panel is better but i had heard that dell uses a lot of samsung panels which would defeat the purpose i suppose. but to each his own.
