I am located in Noida , actually I have two main purposes 1) Working on the computer 2) Watching HD channels through my Airtel HD set top box.
So how is i2353ph , Here are some important question every Led monitor buyer should ask before Finalizing the product.
1) Is there any back light bleed, if yes then is it so much to hamper TV viewing. - It has very low backlight bleed. the monitor is bottom edge lit so its very very less and blacks are very good.
2) When you watch Tata Sky HD on it is are there any ghosting effects due to the 5ms response time. - lag or ghosting is not applicable while watching tv. tv viewing does not require that high refresh rates imo.
3) How is the picture quality and color reproduction. - seeing a bit of banding in some hd channels like star world, star sports, etc. ex. the KP ad on star sports hd. the brown background has some banding. didnt see that on my old monitor which was a 8bit mva panel. the loss of 2bits in this panel must be the problem for banding.
are you happy with it? Why didn't you go for the Philips 227E3QPHSU/94 ? How do the HD channels look in it. - yup happy considering everything else was over my budget and also colour and brightness is lot better than mva panels. hd channels are awesome.
And finally how much did it cost you ? I know it is a bit costlier than the Philips one. - i bought from ebay. cost me around 13.6k. some people say its available now for around 11k in shops.
My Budget is not very high but some what flexible. cannot go beyond 20K that's for sure , doesn't make sense buying a monitor for home use above 20K.
Also just received word that viewsonic latest offering
VX2370Smh-LED Expanding Your Viewing Experience Full HD Frameless Display for Ultimate Entertainment - LCD Display - Products - ViewSonic will hit the European market around the 3rd - 4th week of October. Guess we can expect it to arrive here a bit later or around the same time. - it will take more than that time frame. some models are not released in india.
So a lot depends on your feed back. please do give a detailed review of your product so that I can make the right choice. - I already made a review here
Only some one who has used a monitor for a while can give the most accurate feed back , looking at a monitor for 2 minutes before purchase cannot be taken as a guarantee for obtaining a good monitor.
