Acer 24" or Samsung 22"

[marine1]

How can it be so expensive for an extra 2" ?

Because the quality will be much better, e.g. contrast higher ratio.

2" is around the 3cm more...

Ok. Got my moniter today....

From what I got from this thread is:

1. Get a 24" screen, full HD is better than 22"
2. Samsung has better quality

So, I got a R5000 24" Samsung

This screen so sexy!

Where did you buy it?

hehe I see you scored just like I did about 2 weeks ago Was looking for a 245T a while ago but could only find 245Bs. Walked into incredible about 2 weeks ago and there stood a 245T for R5000 That's the 245Bs price! The 245T sells for almost double the 245Bs price elwhere in the world.(or that's what a quick froogle search showed).

The sales people were under the impression the 245B is just the newer mobel and the screens were listed on the system as the same.

I was so impressed I took 2 Not both for me.

Really impressed with the screen so far. It has slight ghosting but I didn't get it for playing games. All I need now is a spyder to calibrate it and I'm set

EDIT - According to froogle.
245T - $559 to $922
245B - $389 to $529

The Spyder 3 is getting absolutely crap reviews on Amazon hey. Let us know what results you get with it if you do manage to get your hands on one.

Yeah it really is fantastic I love having all those inputs, I can pretty much have everything connected to the screen (Laptop, PC, PS3 and there are still inputs free)

Reds were quite potent on mine but I think that's the same with all of them. Adjusted my RGB Values to 40/52/52 and that seems to give me the best results so far.

HD content simply looks amazing on it, hehe my 19" widescreen acer looks like a toy next to this
