LED monitor?

[paulpicks21]

After some advice once again guys.

I will finally be purchasing a decent monitor next week.

The one I have lined up which I think is good is a nice LG 23" LED -

LG E2350V 23" Widescreen LED Monitor - Glossy Black - Aria Technology

The question is , is it worth spending the extra for LED?

There are many many regular 24" monitors that are cheaper than the 23" LED one I have my eye on , but an inch doesn't bother me , I am more interested in the detail and quality of picture.

Any opinions/advice welcomed.


Cheers

Paul.

I have an HP x2408 Vivid Color Widescreen LCD that performs beautifully. IMO
It's up to you and your wallet.

Thanks for the reply , I guess what I really need is someone on here that has had both and can give me a comparison between the 2 types and if its worth the extra dollar?

Cheers

Paul.

LED's are the shizznit. If you found one you like, definitely go for it! I only wish Samsung was making 24" LED's.

Yea I normally go for Dell monitors, and wish they'd get some 24" LED monitors in as well.

That 23" LED monitor will have a much better image than the cheaper 24" monitors. It's a good price and will be a good purchase.

Newegg.com - SAMSUNG BX2440X Glossy Black 24" 5ms Height & pivot adjustable stand Full HD LED Backlight LCD monitor 250 cd/m2 DC 1000000:1(1000:1)

Nice adjustable stand on that one

Not sure right off both styles are availabele but ..

The glossy screens really make the colors pop out more and look really good.

The downside is they tend to have a reflection or glare if a light source, (window or light) is shining on them and show dust and fingerprints much much easier.

The matte type screen will look a bit duller, but do not reflect light nearly as bad. Still good picture however.

Glossys still look awesome though, and Id go that route if possible.
Just be mindful of the glare they can have, you dont want a window right by it to reflect sunlight for example.

Glossy is refering to the black glossy bezel.

Yes, I was meaning the screen itself though.

A bit decieving in the way they advertise them at times. With LGs you can tell by the part number.
I/e a W2453V would be Matte type and W2453VG would be glossy.

Not sure how others do it though.

Likely off subject a bit But IMHO, if the option is available it better. Although not everyone would agree.

I just ordered one from Newegg. I have to see how good these are.

Got my Sammie 24 LED yesterday. At first I was disappointed. Pic wasn't very good out of the box compared to my other Sammie 24s (245BW). Color temperature was way off. And the preset color temps do nothing to fix this. Yellows were awfull. The whites looked anything but white. Way too much red and blue. So that means hours of tweaking which is horrible with these tiny buttons that are on the underside of the bezel.
So after a lot of frustration, I think I have the pic quality where it looks really good. Whites are really bright. Yellows are good. Color temp is still off. But I like it now. it looks better than my old Sammies. Time to get 2 more . This was on sale for 249 shipped.
I love the fact that this LED makes no heat whatsoever! It doesn't even feel warm after being on for hours. My others put out a LOT of heat. And they make a loud clicking noises when the plastic expands. I mean really loud.
Sorry, I dont mean to hijack this thread. Looking forward the the OP's review. My review sucks because I have bad writting skills.

Unfortunately this is a television panel thus the out of control color issues. And I really dislike losing vertical resolution because of the HDTV aspect ratio as well as having 1/64th the color space of a real computer monitor

Getting harder and harder to find a decent 24bit 1920x1200 panel any more... sad state of affairs actually.

Well todays the day

The LED is being delivered to my workplace.

Will update this post tonight with my thoughts on it plus a couple of pics


Paul.

 

[paulpicks21]

Sorry guys , forgot to update the thread.

So I have had it a couple of days now , the detail and quality of the picture is awesome compared to anything I have had before!

It like having a new pc for me.

Nice looking thing , touch buttons along the bottom , only 17.5mm thick!

Gives off absolutely no heat what so ever.

I am really happy with it , it took me a little while to get the colour sorted out but I think its all good now.

Sorry , not had chance to take any pics as I promised , but its square and has a stand and has some wires coming out the back

Cheers

Paul.

Managed to get my hands on a nice 20.1" HP LP2065 monitor for £20! Cheapest one on ebay is £200.

Have set up dual monitor and extended the desktop so the HP is used as a screen for monitoring stuff like temps etc when gaming.

Lots of screen to look at now lol

1 pic , not the best pic I know
