What is your monitor's brand and resolution ?

#1 Post by mx_fan »

I used a 22" 1080p Samsung monitor for more than 10 years after which it went dead.
Now since I am short in cash I purchased a 18.5" 720p Acer monitor.

Currently I have and use a Samsung Syncmaster 720N 17" LCD 1280x1020 "square" monitor that's surplus from a closed-down call center in S. Korea. I also have a Philips 720p 19" widescreen that, like you, I used for around 10 years having bought it new after playful puppies managed to knock my old LCD flatscreen monitor onto the floor and destroy it. IThe Philips still works but I accidentally caused a lot of compression damage to the display while cleaning it a year or two ago. I just couldn't take the eyestrain of having a cloudy-looking screen anymore, especially at night and when watching movies, and had to get something else, and again like you I was short of cash and had to buy what I could afford.

The monitor I want is a 1080p 20 to 22 inch widescreen, no brand preference, with LED/TFT, low power consumption and a sturdy stand (many I've seen look as though they'd tip over easily), but that has to wait until the shrimp boat comes in. The one I have is actually a very nice monitor, considering.

I only have a laptop at the moment (14" 1080p) but if I was to get a monitor I wouldn't bother with LCDs or even OLEDs:

22" LG TV-Monitor and AOC 19" monitor, both 720p. First goes through HDMI, second through VGA. I like how I can sit further away from the screen than when I had a 15" laptop, and I don't see the need for anything above 1080p in this size. Depending on where I live and/or work when I have the money to do so, I'll change my setup from side-by-side, to a bigger above and further away than my 22". I think anything more than 32" will do.

A friend of mine gave me a laptop with a messed up screen. Enter a VISIO 32" TV that the sound went out on. Happy encounter!
