Which LCD 19' for SHIII?

[kylania]

I use the 21" Samsung 215TW widescreen LCD and it freaking rocks.



At first I was a hesitant to move into LCDs due to the "swish" that fast movements cause but you quickly stop noticing that and it wasn't too terrible to begin with.

So yeah, the Samsung would be a good one, I've loved their monitors for years (bought 3 in a row, 17" CRT, 19" CRT and now the 21" LCD).

I use the Westinghouse 19" and have been very happy with it.

BTW Kylania, I like the Saitek you have. I have one slightly used and one brand new X-36 which I really like. Use them for Falcon 4.

Had a Samsung CRT and just upgraded to a Samsung 940B 19" LCD and I luv it, great grahics with SH3, Pirates of the Carribean, and Ages of Pirates.

I'd like to know what will be better: TN 2 ms 16,2 mln colours or MVA 8 ms 16,7 mln colours?
Is it big difference between TN 16,2 mln colours and MVA/PVA 16,7 mln colours?
I'm looking for fast LCD with pretty colours. What should I choose - TN or MVA/PVA?
I play SH3 of course and flight simulators, strategy games and FPS.

I have the same joystick and throttle. Got 'em a month before I bought SHIII . . .

. . . haven't used 'em since. --wry grin--

I have a Dell Ultrasharp (DVI) widescreen and it looks awesome. I'm not really promoting Dell. I just like those monitors. And as I've said on other threads, find one with a low response time and good contrast ratio.

I have a Dell 19' LCD. I'm happy with it. Samsung is a good product. Also check out Viewsonic. I hear these are nice as well. My pop got a Sony with a super nice picture. Use the internet and get reviews. Compare each. Then make your decision!

Very good advice. I do it all the time. I mean, think about it people. You have a computer at your disposal. You're on the Internet and have a vast supply of information at your fingertips. It would be a waste not to take the opportunity of using that fact to your advantage.

That reminds me of when I visit my parents and it never fails that I'll have a conversation with my Mom about something she has a question about. And I always tell her to just look it up on her computer. The answers are always there by just doing a search.

I do it for all the time from last week, but it doesn't make my decision simpler.
After reading many reviews I have four types for choose: BenQ FP91GP (MVA 8 ms), BenQ FP93GX (TN 2 ms), Samsung 940FN (MVA 8 ms) and Samsung 940BF (TN 2 ms). I don't know which will be the best.
What will be better: TN 2 ms or MVA 8 ms for playing games and internet?

You make a good point fred but some of us neewbs only have specs like on my earlier posts. The help from retailers are dumber than me. They ask what i like and how much i want to spend.So all the help we can get here from more experienced people here will help with this major purchase decision.
I use the internet to look localy but the only specs i know are high res & low ms and size of monitor for cheapest price. Sometimes thats not the best answer or deal.

Just going out the door to get new LCD so this thread couldn't come at a better time. Kylania what kind of keyboard Saitek? Ialso have X-52

It's the Logitech G15 keyboard actually. Really great feel, a switch to turn off Windows Keys, blue neon backlight with three settings (off, faint, brighter), a programable LCD screen with media player controls, 18 "G" programable keys in three banks, so 54 possible keyboard shortcut macros, USB plugs in back. It's an awesome keyboard. A little pricy at around $100 though.

For around $70 you can get the G11 instead. It's the same keyboard but without the LCD and media controls.

Take a look into a review of a ViewSonic VX-922 2ms on grey-white-grey, balck-white-black or on-off-on.

A very fast one.

If you look for a better image quality instead a fast one... ViewSonic VP-930 may be considered, i read it has one of the best image quality. But is is 8ms grey-white-grey, 16ms black-white-black.

Sony XBrite line looks so good image quality but not so good for games.
