Recommendation for 22" TFT

[eden188]

Oops, sorry mod, this is my 1st post and just realised its in the wrong category, could you please delete this and I will submit another thread elsewhere.

Thanks!


**************

Currently looking to add a new 22" TFT for around £250 mark. It needs to play videos, odd games, so low refresh rate is necessary. Primary use is really for work (website design).

I am interested in the Samsung T220 and wonder if there are any views about this TFT, or if anyone could recommend a different make/model.

Thanks in advance.

As its in Scans section

I run two of these

and they are fantastic

Thanks for that, Jay.

Those monitors look the part as well as under my budget, I'll have it in my shortlist and find some reviews on this. If you're from Scan by the way, great service as always

(Nice rig BTW)

I would also recomend the Samsung monitors

Just out of interest why such a big budget for a 22"? You could buy a 24" for that price!

Something like this:

Thanks for the pointer alexp999.

I haven't bought a new TFT for ages and saw the T220 for about £240, hence the budget and the size, but now I can see a 24" for about the same price, I "might" just stretch that bit more . The only (minor) complain is the 5ms refresh rate, only minor .

Cheers!

TBH I really dont think you will notice. I have an Acer 22" @ 5ms and my dad has a Samsung 22" @ 2ms. Both on dvi, both @ 1680x1050 and I cant see any difference. Think ghosting only really shows up on cheaper ones or 8ms or something, lol.

If I had your budget, I would get the Sammy 24" I posted, only £10 more and free del!

How do you 'thank' on this forum? Only just joined

Anyway, thanks again alexp999. I'm seriously considering the 24" as it should do the 1080p as well.

the problem will be gaming at the resolution

The samsungs at either size are awesome monitors. Pin sharp quality. My next upgrade i think!

I see Scan use a 24" Samsung in their returns department. It is fantasitc, but I have no valid reason to add a 3rd monitor .....
