  • Which of these 19" VA to buy?

    I think the P19-2 would fit your needs.
    Not only is this the only one on your list that we have a issued a review of and can therefore testify its high quality, but it also has the thin bezel (1.5 cm) you aked for and secondly it meets your requirement of direct signal input selection by button.
    We often recommend this model.
    Here's the English Prad.de review:

  • Dell 1905FP (AUO panel) tonal range and colour problems

    On CRTs, x (hz) Pictures per second are redrawn line by line, it's like a soft yet persistent electron cannon constantly shooting at your face. Whereas with LCDs, pixels just remain as they are until there comes a signal that actually carries different information and tells them to change. So its more like looking at an illuminated still picture and only moves when it is supposed to.
    True, one can't observe eye-strain when looking for it at a given moment. It's just that you will find yourself being able to work much longer hours (especially word processing) in front of the computer without tiring out unconsciously. The positive effects are not too obviouos, but happen rather subtly and gradually, like the benefit of not needing glasses all of a sudden ten years from now.

  • Dell 1905FP (AUO panel) tonal range and colour problems

    Sounds like a faulty monitor unit. If you can, try to exlude that it might be the output of your graphics card or D-Sub cable by replacing them just to see if there's any difference. If this doesnt help, I'd sell the 1905FP and look into some Eizo models with 10bit lookup table, which are generally recommended when it comes to color fidelity. I'd also recommend to set aside the idea of going back to the Iiyama CRT. Your user profile with 75% of reading / typing texts suggests to avoid CRT monitors as their flickering results in eye-strain and therefore earlier exhaustion at work.


    good luck

  • Looking for a cheap lcd

    If it's largely gaming, I'd get the widescreen
    FSC ScaleoView W19-1, 19", 1440x900 for 283 Euros (cheapest online retailer in Germany)
    It has the highest resolution considering the price range given, DVI, response time of 8ms.
    This model was just recently reviewed here on Prad.de and found to be "good". So it's basically a rating of "4" out of 5 (on a 5 point scale ranging from "very bad" to "very good").

    This is the German review if you can make any sense of it.


    English translation of the review has just been finished and should be online in a few days time.


    If the FSC is slightly above your budget, consider the
    V7 Videoseven S19PS, 19", 1280x1024, DVI, 8ms for 265 €


    have fun

  • Looking for a cheap lcd

    If there is really no way around limiting yourself to these few models (maybe ordering online would be an option?), then go for the Samsung 713BM since this model - along with the somewhat slower T905 - is the only one on your list to feature DVI.

  • Eizo S-1910-K monitor : DVI vs VGA connection

    It won't affect depth of black and absence of "ghosting", but it will impair text clarity and overall focus to some extent depending on the signal quality of your Toshiba notebook's VGA output.
    If getting a new system is no option, try to find a high-quality magnetically shielded VGA cable to minimize the negative effects of signal loss/distortion.


    have fun
    and HNY, you too!

  • The new 2ms BenQ FP93gx or the 8bit Viewsonic VP930b

    Which monitor is best for you basically always depends on your user profile. If its mainly or only about gaming, you can give the Benq a try, but, here too, if you're among the type of gamer that really enjoys georgeous graphics and eye candy in a game, the TN panel of the BenQ might disappoint you. On the other hand, if you are a hardcore gamer who tweaks everything to "low" anyway and it's just the pure responsiveness that your're looking for, the BenQ is probably best.
    But as soon as there as any occasional movie/DVD watching involved, I would definitely go for the Viewsonic due to its better black level, contrast, colors, viewing angle.

  • Samsung SyncMaster 970p (Prad.de User)

    Um festzustellen ob das eigene Monitormodell 75 Hz "wirklich" (von der Panelupdatefrequenz her) kann und eben nicht nur so tut als ob:
    Am besten mal PixPerAn mit sowohl 60 Hz als auch 75 Hz laufen lassen. Wenn die Bewegung des Autos bei 75 Hz ruckeliger ausfällt als vorher -> zurück auf 60 Hz stellen.

  • BenQ FP202W questions

    Zitat

    I'd like to buy one and I have some questions regarding the scaling. I understand that there are no scaling settings, so I'm wondering how does the monitor handle 4:3 AR resolutions like 1280*1024. Does it scale to full screen or does it keep the AR fixed to display the image correctly? I'd appreciate if anyone who owns it can give me some info and some opinions regarding the overall quality of the monitor. My other option is a 16ms Philips (200W6C), which has scaling settings but higher latency. (only these two (and the apple but that's too expensive) can be found where I am so pls dont give any more options)


    thanks


    Hi!
    With any monitor which offers no scaling settings you are always left with the option of using the graphics card driver menu to avoid stretching and interpolating as long as it is connected digitally via DVI.
    1280x1024 is a 5:4 AR :)

  • Acer AL2416W

    <ironie>Acer sollte DVI-Nachrüstbarkeit für den Kunden (in Form eines optionalen Moduls oder was weiss ich) anbieten.
    Denn: falls Acer diesen "ohne DVI Ansatz" verfolgt um die 14%ige (afaik) Steuer für Monitore mit DVI Interface zu umgehen liesse sich so das Ganze wiedrum austricksen. Ähnlich dem Steuertrick bei diesen Zigarrettenhülsen/sticks. </ironie>
