Samsung SyncMaster 2343 - 23 inch

[audiotranceable]

Got this LCD for 225 after tax. What made me get this LCD was that fact that it has 2048x1152 as native resolution. This fits me because I'm the type of guy that likes the odd things I hate the standards

My Impressions are: WOW, I will test gaming on it to see if the lag and ghosting will cause a big effect after switching from a CRT 21"

2048x1152 isnt odd. Its 16:9 standard wide.

But, ghosting and lag? I havent seen any. G

Gaming on it is great. Very awesome LCD for very awesome price.

I love mine

2048x1152 is higher than 1920x1080 which is a more popular resolution.

 

[PP Mguire]

True, but its not odd. Its a standard 16:9, just not normal because 1080p is the norm.

sorry that's what I meant, it's still 16:9 but 1920x1080 if I wanted that I would just get a monitor for it. This one is higher which got my attention

 

[PP Mguire]

thats what made me buy it too.

Im tired of getting a bigger monitor for higher res.

wow how much did you pay?

 

[PP Mguire]

He paid the same thing i paid for ours. Thing is, ours was advertised as 20,000 as well but its 50,000.

well he can tell on the LCD casing. If it says 20,000:1 than it's that but if it's 50,000:1 than like you said "advertised wrong"

anyways making a youtube video. It will be shortly up

Ive got the same one, very nice indeed

that contrast ratio is like bs isn't it? i mean that just blows my 1000:1 contrast ratio out of the water. Isn't there some gimmic to make contrast ratios appear higher? like that GTG compared to BTB?

 

[theonedub]

Dynamic contrast ratios are pretty BS for all LCDs- usually involves controlling the backlight to enhance contrast. I usually don't use it, esp on my HDTV. Standard contrast ratio is most likely 1000:1 or 1500:1 for this set.

 

[audiotranceable]

EH the dynamic contrast didn't catch my eye on this LCD. Fact that it has 2048x1152 got my eye

I hate kinda hate the small amount of lag from moving the mouse to the screen. My mouse is @ 1000hz & with my old CRT it was instant. This you can notice some lag

 

[DirectorC]

I myself dunno what's up with sky high contrasts. I have 700:1 on my monitor and I can see it just fine from a 45 degree angle.

Edit: Just recalled that contrast isn't about viewing angle. Alright, well then, my monitor looks perfect with a 700:1 contrast. There.
