Samsung 914V LCD

GutterPunk · Nov 24, 2005, 06:43 PM

Samsung 914V 19" LCD is on sale for 200 @ staples... my crt is going dim at times and about all the frequencies have a high pitched hummm to them. This looks pretty promising for the price what do you all think? Gotta know by tomorrow morning because the sale is only for a few hours

Thanks!!!

don't think i'll be getting that version... not good enough for my likeings... the best one around here is a 204T.... if i can.. i'll get even better then that

GutterPunk · Nov 24, 2005, 07:18 PM

Well what do you think for uhhh my likings considering my crt response is pretty high and about ready to crap out and for the price

Judas · Nov 24, 2005, 07:31 PM

hmm.... looking the specs.... definitely wouldn't want it... it appears to be one of there lower/lowest quality LCD, sporting only analog support. It doesn't support true color (It dithers, kinda like running a cross between 16 bit and 32, but then it dithers up to 32, so things aren't going to look very pretty in places).... 12ms responce isn't to bad. The contrast ratio may drive you nutz in comparison to a CRT...

Don't know, but i definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone i built a computer for.

Check the link, and i'd recommend checking out the LCD list that is under the DIGITAL area, they are generally a better monitor. find one that has some good specs, and see if you can find one in your price range...

My budget is around $200 so choices are very slim

As looking, I finding it hard to find 1 w/ better specs than that 1 in my price range

Judas · Nov 24, 2005, 07:36 PM

yeah...... probably better off getting another relatively Decent CRT

GutterPunk · Nov 24, 2005, 07:46 PM

Thers a small problem though, I need the desk space

Judas · Nov 24, 2005, 10:10 PM

... i'm just not used to haveing not enough deskspace... i hate small desks... there so useless

GutterPunk · Nov 25, 2005, 12:05 AM

Hmmm, how much difference does 16.2 mil and 16.7 mil colors make

and how much a diff between digital and analog?

also looking between

and

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824009044

or still the samsung

well bro on lcd you look at the contras and the responce time high responce it will more likely ghost

swimtech · Nov 25, 2005, 01:23 AM

Looks like the Acer is a good one, but can't find out if the response time rating is grey to grey or black to white. The CTL is specified at the company site as black to white, which is more important. The Acer has slightly higher brightness and contrast ratings - but the difference is very small, likely small enough to ignore...

Of the two, I lean toward the CTL unit...

GutterPunk · Nov 26, 2005, 04:14 PM

So I ordered the CTL, and yeah thanks swimtech i hope it works out great

swimtech · Nov 26, 2005, 10:43 PM

Cool! I hope it works out too - If not I'm sure you'll let me know...

I'd have done the same in your shoes...

GutterPunk · Nov 30, 2005, 12:44 AM

IS it a bad thing that its not on newegg anymore?

GutterPunk · Dec 2, 2005, 10:38 PM

10 years later... it finally showed up yay!

Its great, fast,of course a lil different than a crt but overall the colors are crisp clear, text is easy to read and yeah no ghosting in games... Thanks!
