[copacetic]

?

I'm clueless.

Size?

 

[D3x!]

What is it for? Just general pc monitor?

They have those 18.5" LG monitors at game usually for like R899 or so

Size?

Well, obviously the biggest possible.

I presume it's going to be a 21.5 or something at that price.

I don't see why not

 

[copacetic]

I don't see why not

I just haven't paid any attention to computer components for years.

Just want to make certain I'm not purchasing a lemon and/or there's a better deal I'm missing somewhere else.

I've just been told it's rubbish 'cause it only has a D-Sub input...

Apart from not having HDMI input it seems okay. Can always use HDMI to DVI adaptor I suppose if it's HDCP compliant.

Edit: I see it's actually d-sub not DVI. Would probably give it a miss then.

If you want to use it as a pc monitor D-Sub is all you need.

Someone just told me the quality suffers?

Eh? Do pc's connect to monitors using HDMI these days?

[Azbubu]

Eh?

Eh? I mean how would the quality suffer if being used as a pc monitor? Eh? Afaik PC's connect to monitors using d-sub. Or do new pc's connect to monitors using HDMI?

You can sometimes get noise with vga at high resolutions. Dvi seems to eliminate this.

Oh I see. For example watching full HD videos via VGA?

I suppose, I really don't know, as I say, that's just what someone told me.

They connect with DVI mostly.
