I am looking out for a 24" or 23" LCD screen.
My preference is actually 4:3 screens, but I reckon these days 16:9 is in vogue. Also there are some 16:10 screens available!
Anyway, I am on a lookout for an LCD monitor. Budget is typical Indian style - as low as possible.
But I want considerable performance too (which means that if a 15K screen has better specs, but do not produce really significant visual difference, I would go for a 10K screen with not as great specs).
My purpose would be mostly browsing, viewing pix and movies and games. (in that descending order). I've read about technologies - and have come to conclusion that TN is good for response time, but has narrow field of view. The VA panels are good for contrast but they have slow response time and not as wide field of view. The IPS panels are great for wide field of viewing, but have poor response time.
1. Does slow response time actually make that great difference? I cannot believe that people would be able to visually perceive difference between 15 ms and 5 ms.
2. Contrast ratios. Not many people view the screens under complete darkness - the blacks and darkest grays would anyway seem similar. But perhaps on a dark night it would matter.
3. Viewing angle. Wide angle makes sense - especially if I intend to say lie down on the bed and watch movie. But if the difference compared to others is not drastic as claimed I wouldn't give it special preference.
4. LED vs CCFL back lighting. Technically, back lighting should not make any difference unless we have RBD LEDs. So I am not ready to splurge extra money on this aspect.
Unfortunately I can see that IPS panels are the most expensive
What are the cheapest monitors available for 24" and 23"
My current monitor is Samsung CRT which has worked really GREAT for past 9 years!
I want a similar trouble free operations also from this screen!
