jcombs_31 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm still using a 19" samsung flat CRT at home. I need to get an LCD and probably getting a 22" with the option to get a second 22" in the near future. I'm wanting to go on the budget side and found 3 options from newegg from 3 different brands. [Acer] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009145 [Hanns-G] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254035 [samsung] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001254 Acer has the most reviews and seems like a good buy, but I wanted to get some opinions if you've used any of these or are partial to any of these brands.

Daniel0 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Aesthetically I think the Samsung beats the others. Technically they look to be virtually identical except that the Acer has a higher contrast ratio though (though the Samsung has "DC 8000:1(1000:1)" and I'm not sure how dynamic contrast ratio is better/worse than the other thing). I would probably buy the Samsung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mchl Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 WTH is Hanns-G? I see the brand for the first time. Is it worth anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakus_maximus Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I would go with the Samsung. I purchased 2 x 20" Samsung a year and a half ago, just got my girlfriend one as well. The brightness, the clarity, the vibrant colors... just all awesome. I just saw a 22" Samsung that has the 3D display for gaming, so far looks hot. But will wait for the price to drop.

jcombs_31 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 I placed the order for the samsung. I've been happy with my current samsung monitor and it also has the USB ports which is nice sometimes. Looks pretty sharp, I want 2 but I'll have to wait.
