Voltes-5 Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Samsung, I have the 225 which is an older one but it rocks. It beats my 204B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radodrill Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Samsung, I have the 225 which is an older one but it rocks. It beats my 204B. Yeah; that's the one I'm leaning towards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsamaBinAthlon+ Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 My Dell E207WFP that I'm selling because I got a 37" or a dell E227WFP if 20" is too small and you really need 22" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedenim Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 20" and 22" have the same resolution but the 20"'ers have a 'sharper' look to them as the pixels are smaller. Then again you might not notice the difference. What are you planning to use the monitor for? Nowt much, Games, Videos - Photos, multi-apping?

EllisD Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 I have been looking at that samsung monitor also. If you get it, lemme know how it works out. One thing that i have noticed from reading around is that apparently there were 2 revisions of this monitor floating around. An 'S' version and an 'A' version, the S being better in terms of image quality. It might be something to look into if possible when ordering. Here is a Bit-Tech Review. There has been some debate on various forums over the last few weeks about the panel technology inside the 226BW. One of the best (and longest threads) is here. There appear to be two versions of this monitor - one designated 'S' and one 'A'. We have the S panel here for review, and some gamers have been reporting that the S is a higher quality image. I think this is going to be my next purchase. Gonna need a few more pennies in the piggie bank though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radodrill Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 @ EllisD, I may buy one in the next few days; afterwards I'll sell my 27" LCD TV. I originally got a 27" LCD TV; but the low resolution on it (1280x720 native) just started bugging me. I'll probably be able to make a profit on the switch since the 27" has all the TV options such as PIP, Component video, etc. etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suedenim Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Interesting read on panel technology if you haven't bought already... http://www.pureoverclock.com/review.php?id=641&page=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
