19" or 20" TFT Samsung vs. Dell
|
|
| gbozovic11@yahoo.com 2005-10-23, 7:34 pm |
| I have finally narrowed down my search for the LCD. Originally I was
looking at 19" LCDs and in this category I like the Samsung 930/940b
with 700:1 and 8ns. However, recently I have stumbled upon rebates for
the Dell Ultrasharp 2001FP 20" LCD which has 1600x1200 (19" has
1280x1024), 16ns, 400:1. With the rebates it is $430 where the Samsung
is $350. It is not much of a price difference considering a long-term
purchase of a monitor.
However, the 2001FP is nearly 2-years old, it has mixed reviews, and
the specs are not as good as the Samsung. I know there is also the
2005FPW, but its not on sale (price now is about $550 which is high out
of my range) I know that regular Windows apps will benefit from the
higher resolution, but I also extensively play Flight Simulator 2004,
sometimes Call of Duty, etc.
In your opinion, which of the two monitors would you get in terms of
quality.
Would playing the games at higher resolution (FS2004) give lesser
performance (FPS)? The system running the LCD is new and high-specs
(Nvidia 7-series, 256mg RAM)
What is most important to me is picture quality for FS2004 and Windows
apps. The Samsung looks wonderful, the Dell I obviously cannot see
since its mail-order. In your opinion, what choice would you make?
Kind regards,
George B.

I think you mean 8ms, not 8ns. I believe the faster the response, the
narrower the viewing angle so don't let 8ms necessarily be the one you
choose.

Too high (see below).

If that is your attitude then get a Viewsonic. They are the best
monitors made. If you get twice the service life for a few extra
bucks, then it is worth it.
Check out Directron at http://www.directron.com/18lcd.html
They have a Viewsonic VG910s 19" 1280 x 1024, w/ Speakers for $378.
http://www.directron.com/vg910b.html
You cannot go wrong with a Viewsonic. I do not trust Samsung nor do I
trust Dell when it comes to specialty items like an LCD monitor,
especially at such a high price.
I am currently using a Viewsonic G810 Graphic Series 19" CRT. I got it
for $125 refurbished - I believe it was used at Compaq. It has given
me several years of service thus far. When it comes time to replace it
I am getting a Viewsonic 19" LCD like the ones at Directron.

| I'm running dual Dell 2405 FPW (24" widescreen) LCDs and I LOVE them.
Our 42" Plasma is a Dell and it has worked flawlessly.
I've had two Viewsonic 21" graphics series CRTs and they were "ok".
I've had various Samsung products, including one 21" CRT and it was great.
I have a LOT of confidence in both Dell and Samsung products.
The other poster may have had problems with Dell or Samsung or heard bad
things but I've heard only good. And I didn't think Viewsonic was that great
a monitor nowadays from the reviews I've read.

I read the thread, and there's nothing definitive pointing to the monitor
being the problem. He just describes some "jaggy lines". Impossible to say
what's causing it, or if there even is a problem, and he just doesn't have
something screwed in his settings, or elsewhere in his system. Doesn't say
what software he sees the problem in either. I always take posts like that
with a grain of salt. Might have a problem, might not.
I have a Samsung 930B and I'm very happy with it. Great picture quality and
brightness. Zero ghosting, in anything.

| I went out and got the 930B. I still have some time to return it, in
case there is convincing enough reason for the Dell 2001FP. The 930B
looked bad at the store. When I got at home, it didn't look great. I
ran the auto-configure settings, and now it looks wonderful, much
better than my old Viewsonic VG175. It's brigther and crisper, contrast
is much improved.
Haven't tried DVI yet, still waiting for the new computer with cable.

You will have to let it sit in the same place so it can adjust to the
Earth's magnetic field. The degausser takes care of most of it but
there is a residual effect left from the position at the store that
has to decay away. You may notice some color bleed at the far right of
the screen which does not go away when you degauss. It will go away in
1-3 months.

Don't forget the possible effects of aetheric phlogisten causing pixel
randomization when the display is rotated more than 180 degrees from
true north. Unless the Samsung comes with an anti-phlogisten grid
installed.

That's good to know, especially if you live in a phlogisten-rich area.
You seem to have a great deal of experience with phlogisten so you
must live in one of those phlogisten-rich areas.
Did you know that phlogisten can cause dimentia. You need to seek
treatment as soon as possible, or people will start thinking you are
stark raving mad.
That phlogisten stuff can be mighty nasty.

One of the most notorious effects of excessive phlogisten exposure is
top posting.

Not heard of that particular malady. Is Dimentia a particular form of
madness caused by close association with monitor phlogisten, or has
your dose risen to such levels where you can't spell Dementia any
more?

Who said anything about Dementia?
I said dimentia, which is specifically associated with phlogisten.
Dementia is associated with not knowing what dimentia is.
Dontcha know any medicine or what!

And top posting would work if there were only one reply for every post and
no follow up.
But, if someone new were to stumble onto the thread but his news server did
not contain any but the most recent post, it would be much easier for this
person to follow the history of the thread if everyone bottom posted.
What ruins us bottom posters's reputations are the folks who quote 500
lines of text, only to add their one line reply at the bottom. I, too,
agree that those types of bottom posters should be drawn and quartered.
Whoops, I just discovered that I am again pissing in the wind and ruined

So do I, but I encourage bottom/mid posting. It is the lack of
trimming that is the problem, not where the text is.

Holy revelations Batman!!!!
I just realized I am a bottom poster!
And, right after I dissed ("disrespected" for those of you not in to hip hop
culture) bottom posters. I always trim and post at the bottom.
I honestly thought I was a top poster because my replies are always in the
view window. :-/

So all we have to do to keep top-posters from mucking things
up is to post more than OE can display? Seems easy
enough...

| the earth's magnetic field makes bugger all difference to TFTs.
it DOES however, make a difference to CRTs and some TVs.
to prove this, if you've a big, preferably fairly high-res monitor,
turn it through 180 degrees without turning it off/on and degaussing,
and look closely at the screen. a slight colour stain is very common,
which'll usually clear by the automatic degauss.
it doesn't always, but can be done manually using a, well, manual
degausser - which is a big circular electromagnet that you turn on
about 6 foot from the screen, bring it towards it and wipe around the
outside of the casing, before retiring to a slight distance and turning
it off.
anyone who's spent any time in the TV repair business will know what i
mean - usually severe cases are caused by non-shielded loudspeakers
placed too close to the TV...

Same here, Dallas! I strongly encourage "trimming the caboose" off quoted
messages as well.
It's absolutely maddening to sort through 3,527 lines of re-quoted quotes
to find the one line of reply... ;)

Perhaps then a suitable alternative would be for the poster to have at
least a short, one line notice that his "content" is at the bottom? ;)

They are on their way now - expect a knock on your door at 3:00am.
If you do not respond immediately,your house will be strafed by
helicopter gunships and your family will be gased and burned to death
- and you will be railroaded thru a kangaroo court and imprisoned for
life.

No, it should be obvious to anyone with half a brain. If there's no content
at the top - then it has to be in the body or at the bottom.
I used to be a top poster.
But that was a long time, when I was young and foolish and reckless.

I'd guess that "dimentia" may be to "dementia" as "phlogisten" is to
"phlogiston" ... that doesn't mean that either of them ("dimentia" and
"phlogisten", that is) have to mean anything.
... but let's not start any flaming, here!

I actually found some useful information in your post! Most of this thread
seems to be bickering about top/bottom posting.

I haven't seen many mixed reviews for the 2001FP. I've seen quite a few
people have problems with dead pixels or backlighting (but Dell in the
US has a no-quibble swap warranty which people tend to use).
I bought one yesterday and am absolutely in love with it!
No dead pixels/lighting problems, it looks stunning in Windows and Linux
and no blurring in games!
May not help you, as it's only MHO, but thought I'd at least post an
on-topic response ;-)
Cheers,
Andy

Not necessarily. It could, like my previous reply be devoid of new
content.
Now instead of being "young, foolish and reckless" you've settled on being
old, purile and obnoxious? ;)
