LCD Monitor Review

Posted in Uncategorized on Oct 19, 2008

This “LCD Monitor Review” shows how much more affordable flat screen displays for your computer have become this year. The big old bulky CRT screens are gone forever it seems, and now the bigger flat display is better. I took my son to college last month, and we walked by the computer lab – and each and every screen was a 22″ dell monitor. I’ve read a few blog posts this week from bloggers about their new 22″ screens arriving in the mail, and I know one person at work that has dual 19″ monitors.

So I started looking around – and LCD screens are much cheaper now for the bigger sizes than I thought they were. What does that mean? You can get a 22″ flat display for your home computer under $200. Much like digital cameras, you get what you pay for. You can get a completely functional 22″ LCD that would work just fine for most people under $200 – like these ones made by Hanns G -

Like I said – those are great monitors, but here’s the difference between those and a more name brand that’s a little more expensive. The Hanns G monitor has the same resolution (1680 x 1050), but the ‘dynamic contrast ratio’ is only 1000 to 1, and it has a 5ms response time.

Now I’ll show you a very popular LCD monitor – the Samsung T220 22″ LCD display.

The Samsung has the same 1680 x 1050 resolution, but the dynamic contrast ratio is 20000 to 1, or 20 TIMES MORE than the Hanns G. It also has a 2ms response time, more than twice as fast as the Hanns G. So, when your shopping for a new LCD – don’t pay attention to just the price, if you want a sharper picture – pay attention to the quality specs as well!
