Samsung BX2450 recommendation

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Jul 28, 2010, 11:04 AM

Anyone say anything about this monitor? I saw it at work it looks OK. But we had it hooked up on VGA split up.... biggest LED monitor I can find would prefer a 27" but oh well! Oh and my Acer monitor just died thats why...

What do you guys think?

It's hard to go wrong when the name Samsung is involved. This does look like a very nice monitor.

But, the prices I'm seeing for this monitor are over twice what I paid brand new for each of my ViewSonic 24 inch LCDs.

Plus, my ViewSonics have HDMI, DVI, and VGA inputs.

So, I guess it all depends on how much you'd be spending on that one...if you have to pay anything for it at all.

the monitor is thin from what I saw, and bright from what I heard. Decent 1000:1 contrast ratio.

and my monitor works again for no apparent reason. Looks like a power adapter issue.

i'm not going to touch it for the simple fact that it'll be half price damn quick and personally find that the 2343BWX 23" 2048x1152 monitors still are the cats meow in terms of just about everything out there..

SyncMaster? 23" Super Resolution wide screen monitor - 2343BWXPLUS - LCD Monitor - Monitor | SAMSUNG

far as where to get it.... best to just keep scouring to see if you can find it..

they are DIRT cheap if you find a retailing not trying to rape you for them.

about 200 bucks give or take average CAD

You do realise it doesn't have HDMI connection? And no LED back lighting? I wouldn't get it.

Judas · Jul 28, 2010, 09:21 PM

yes..... however the DVI in support an HDMI to DVI dongle

personally i can't find a good lcd with LED back lighting for any reasonable price compared to these monitors...

Yeah, and I think that those monitors that you linked are really nice looking!

Right now, LED monitors are like LED TVs. They are on the way down in price but still cost prohibitive to anyone not rich or crazy.

I jest but seriously we all know that they will be down to a reasonable price in a few months so no point in snagging them now.

BlueMak · Jul 29, 2010, 06:10 PM

I think it is wrong (to be very polite) to buy a non LED monitor and with no HDMI or Displayport ports.

I have nothing else to add.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Jul 29, 2010, 06:26 PM

I am extremely pissed my card has died though

DVI does most people's purposes, HDMI might be on its way out with that new crazy ethernet cable. DisplayPort is cool, but only ATi cards have utilized so far only. Too much stupid competition with connections!

Judas · Jul 29, 2010, 06:42 PM

well to add.. the monitor also support display port to dvi too without any glitches or issues

Do really provided with a 10-15 dollar adapter.... you can plug anything you like into the 2343bwx monitors..

50,000:1 contrast ratio..

excellent color saturation and crisp clear..

excellent viewing angles... both side to side and up and down.... however obviously still best if you look at it straight on.

and damn are they ever bright

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Jul 30, 2010, 03:43 AM

i couldnt find that monitor judas... but i got the 2450.... holy crap its BRIGHT

edit: forgot to mention the card is A-OK!

Judas · Jul 30, 2010, 04:26 PM

yeah samsung monitors.. even the non LED styles are bright as hell now..

I've actually Sold about 30 of the 2343bwx.. they are so incredibly popular that samsung cannot even keep stop on some of the major retailer website and wholesalers..

I say ..... overall though.... if you can find one.... get one.. they have amazing value.

I picked one of these up as a refurb in June from a place in Ohio for work. Not a thing wrong w/ it beside attaching the wonky pedestal, excellent monitor. I've been very tempted to swap my 24" from home w/ it.

Judas · Jul 31, 2010, 04:20 PM

there are currently 4 revisions of the 2343bwx ..

the newest ones are saposed to be rated 100,000:1 contrast ratio and have not yet been made available.

the 2nd newest are 50,000:1

3rd are 50,000:1 but with a worse fewing angle ... older screen...

the 4th which is the orginal is 20,000:1

God help me the day either of my Samsung 2693HM dies. So hard to find a good replacement at that size.
