About 16.2 and 16.7 m color difference

    Hi everyone..


    I decided to buy a LCD monitor nowadays...


    And the monitor which i'd like to buy is 16.2m color..


    LG L1970HR


    The monitor is very good i think but the 16.2m color is frustrating me...


    the monitors specs are,
    2ms
    1600:1 contrast
    dvi-d


    Questions i wanna ask are,


    1- how could thar monitor is 1600:1 contrast? the other brands and model are always 500 or 600 for the maximum.. i mean is it a real contrast ratio?


    2- is being 16.2m color a problem? what is the difference between 16.2 and 16.7m color?


    3- what is waiting for me in 16.2m color and 16.7m color?


    Thanks...

    It's the dynamic contrast range, achieved only by using some tricks. It should not be directly compared to the contrast ratios of other monitors.

    Inferior color quality.
    It comes down to what your preferences are. If it's office, browsing, etc. or if response time critical hardcore gaming is a must for you, then TN panels will get the job done.

    To do that, you will have to tell me your user profile.
    What is the monitor going to be used for?


    for example 80% office work, 20 % movies, and so on...

    The list of monitors below is meant to provide a rough estimate of what might fit your budget. All of these have a VA panel (16.7 million colors), DVI input and 8ms (claimed) response time.


    19 inch: (1000:1 contrast)
    BenQ FP91GP
    Acer Office Line AL1922As
    Acer Office Line AL1923s
    Belinea 101915 (111921)
    Belinea 101920 (111919)
    Sony SDM-S95FS
    Samsung SyncMaster 913TM
    Samsung SyncMaster 940Fn


    19 inch: (1300:1 contrast)
    Philips 190P7ES / 190P7EG (recommended)
    Acer Performance Line AL1952


    19 inch: (1500:1 contrast)
    Sony SDM-X95FB / SDM-X95FS
    Samsung SyncMaster 971P (this one would be worth stretching the budget)


    20 inch: (800:1 contrast, widescreen)
    Philips 200W6CS


    Dont go for widescreen if it's gonna be a 19 inch monitor. 19 inch widescreens are currently all using TN panels only.

    Well, widescreen would be nice for games and movies of course, but the L1970HR is better quality.

    is the BENQ FP202W 20" wide 16.2 or 16.7m color?


    16.2m
    Both monitors have a TN-type panel.

    If you have to choose one of the two, I would suggest the L1970HR. But, as I said, it's a TN panel with 16.2m, which is why I gave you a rather long list of affordable VA panel monitors to choose from.

    i looked all of the lcds you have suggested...
    just 2 models of them is sold in our country now... and they are very expensive for me...


    so i think i must go for 17"


    could you please suggest me some 17" lcds with dvi 16.7m


    By sayin benq fp91gp, do you mean benq fp91G+
    but the tech specs for the fp91G+ is 16.2m color...

    if pressed between between the three, I would probably say the LG provides the best image quality, but since the Samsung is a widescreen monitor, you may want to prefer this one if you're going to watch lots of movies on it.
    Rule out the Benq, and
    pick the LG if your priority is on games
    or
    pick the Samsung if your priority is on movies.
    But either will do fine in both areas.
