MrScratch Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I’m looking to buy a new computer monitor screen , size from 27 inch to 29 inch But I prefer a Glossy screen and a decent resolution , flat or curved. Any one have such a computer monitor they purchased in Thailand or know of a model that I can buy here in Thailand that has a glossy screen.

Khaeng Mak Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I am currently staring at two samsung widescreen monitors. I have had them now for over a decade and touch wood not a single problem. During the same period I have lost 6 routers to lightning strikes notwithstanding using a ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quite know what you mean by a "glossy screen" but I have had an LG 20M35 which is now a few years old but still going strong. Had a BENQ before that and that was also ok. Banana IT, Powerbuy, Tesco and Big C etc all have good ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n210mp Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 To be honest I don't know why anyone other than "Purists and Gamers" need anything other than a a full HD LED flat screen TV . In my workshop I use a Thai built 32" LED telly bought a couple of years ago for about 5K Baht and its great especially because it has 2 HDMI slots and so I can work on 2 PCs at the same time In the house we have a 55" Smart TV to which I attach a very fast desktop through an HDMI cable that has Kodi and the "beast installed and watch all the TV shows and movies that I need too. The attached desktop has a 500GB SSD with all the APPS and the windows 10 Pro os on and also a 3TB HDD with all our films, photos, music etc . I used to use quite expensive "Monitors" but frankly you get used to them just as you get used to the slightly lower quality picture from a cheapo THai TV, which I must say are still definitely very good quality and I just cannot justify the massive difference in cost between a monitor and a decent LED TV......Just sayin as they say!

I watch movies on my wide screen LG curved monitor. I like to see the pimples on the actors faces. I also use the LG to run my stereo speakers and sub woofer. You can use it as one monitor or split it into 4 screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 15,000 baht new in 2018. My Dell notebook computer is 4k so something like a web browser looks incredible, I can read it across the room. three HDMI inputs. USB, more. also has Smart View to quickly "cast" the screen of my Samsung phone on the monitor. so i know bigger than you were looking for but super easy on the eyes.

shady86 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Depend on your budget. I would advise to go for at least WQHD (2560x1440) as full HD is not sharp enough for use as computer at 27" or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, and many others need a Quote 1. Homes are in more need of whole house surge protection today than ever. “A lot has changed in the home over last few years,” says Pluemer. “There are many more electronics, and even in lighting with LEDs, if you take an LED apart there’s a little circuit board there. Washers, dryers, appliances also have circuit boards today, so there’s a lot more today to be protected in the home from power surges—even the home’s lighting. “There’s a lot of technology that we’re plugging into our houses.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrScratch Posted March 10, 2019 Author Share Posted March 10, 2019 The problem I’m facing is that I cannot find any where on the internet , where I can find a Thailand based seller that gives the option to search for computer monitors that have only glossy screens . Most Thailand seller web pages allow you to select the Brand / screen size / screen resolution / ports / price - but not select the type of screen ( Glossy or Matt anti glare ) The Thailand based sellers do have a wide range of computer monitors , but it would mean trawling through hundreds of model types to try and see if each individual computer monitor actually has a Glossy screen or a Matt screen . Unless some one knows different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcusarelus Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Mine is 3440 by 1440 almost 4k LG curved 34 inch but I don't know what a glossy screen is. LG 21:9 curved screen is the same as CinemaScope I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Samsung 28 inch 4K jobbie from Invade. Expensive but very good. I also watch movies and footie on a 50 inch Samsung telly, matt screen. Great.

Personally although glossy screen computer monitors can some time be susceptible to glare or reflection from surrounding windows and other light sources , to me a glossy screen looks more vibrant , sharp and the colours seem to jump out . Generally I can see the images on screen more clearly . Having used both a glossy screen monitor and a matte screen monitor ( anti glare ) I find that if I set up my glossy screen monitor in the right environment then I have no problems with the possible surrounding reflections and the benefits far outweigh the glossiness . Where as when using a matte screen monitor it seems to reduce the image definition and looses an amount of crispness and sharpness and over all it tends to look a bit dull and flat .

The vibrancy in the colour is possibly from either your video card set up, or the quality of the input material or the app used to play it.

ignis Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Did away with Monitors years ago for PC, last one was a Dell, faultless after 13 or so years, still have it and use it sometimes on the Laptop... Last TV was a Panasonic as Monitor, now use as a Bedroom TV........ last 18 months is a 40" https://th.priceprice.com/Sony-BRAVIA-40-in-KDL-40R350C-15483/ As I see it why pay over double for a smaller screen ?

Billthekiwi Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hi. Glossy screens may be hard to find I think. You might have to Google for them and then try and find one in Thailand. Myself I have used Dell screens for 10 years. I had to buy a screen here recently and saw a Dell 2415P. This is only 24" but in 4K. Because of the clarity and my past history with Dell I was completely unable to create a desire to buy anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past when I had a glossy computer screen monitor I turned it to the best viewing angle that showed the least reflections , and it was fantastic with such vivid colours and crisp images well worth having to adjust the screen . The glossy screen gave the same fantastic clear and sharp results on ever computer it was ever connected to . I think I remember some where an article that pointed out nearly every professional that was involved with computer imaging or video production or any other commercial aspect that requires the images to be shown in the best way possible , those professionals nearly all of them used some sort of Apple Mac computer all with a ‘’ glossy screen ‘’ . Now that speaks volumes ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
