NewGuy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) I want to buy a 24 inch monitor (1920x1080, hdmi) but don't have a good idea of what is available that would suit me. I will use it too many hours each day for MS Word, Excel, etc, lots of browsing (so text has to be excellent), photoshop from time to time; I mainly like strategy games like CIV and am not an avid first person shooter fan. I will hardly ever play dvd movies on this monitor. I would like it to have a wide visibility range, like 170+ x 170+ and be very easy on the eyes. USB hub would be nice but not really important. I don't want a high reflection unit. I don't want a tv tuner and will ignore speakers and web cam, if built in. It will be driven by a high-end graphics card, probably ATI Radeon 4850-70-90 (I know I don't need this much power, oh well). My monitor budget is up to 16,000 baht. What models can you recommend for me? Edited July 29, 2009 by NewGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazey Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 This may be out of your budget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 That's 32,900 new and about half that used. Yup, out of my budget. The Apple 30 inch unit is too. Darn. Anyway, what are more affordable option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webfact Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) If you are not involved profesionally in color correction or any other "true color" business i.e. photographer I would go for Acer! One of my monitors is 24' and I am very satisfied with it. If you are into gaming I am sure a 19' 4:3 ratio would maybe fit better. Acer you can find between 10-12K Edited July 29, 2009 by webfact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDogger Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Look at the Samsung Syncmaster 2333. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 got an acer 24" 16:9 lcd monitor (p244wbmd) at the commart about half a year ago... doubles as a tv (hooked it up to a DVD player via HDMI-DVI cable). Really worth the 9K I spent for it There are HPs (23.5") under 9K on the market. You'll have to look hard for those with HDMI ports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angiud Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I got my Samsung 24" in Panthip, no HDMI no USB 1920x1080 full HD 16x9 for a stunning 7.500 baht. Very satisfied with the bad boy. If you want usb hub and hdmi you go to 10/12.000 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very satisfied with the bad boy.If you want usb hub and hdmi you go to 10/12.000 baht 7,500 baht??? WOW - these things really have come down in price, that's unbelievable. I bought the first affordable 24" Acer exactly 1 year ago for BHT 14,000. It's nice, left-right viewing angle is 170 degrees, but up/down is pretty bad. As far as I know, they never put vertical viewing angle in the tech specs - yet, it's pretty important. So my recommendation is to go there and take a good look before you buy. Sit in front, move your head up/down/left/right and see if there's discoloration on the top or bottom of the screen. I'd recommend Samsung because pretty much anything I have bought from them was excellent. And they make LCD panels for lots of other companies, Apple included. Back when I was looking HP was also pretty good, in hindsight probably better than my Acer and for a similar price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small remark for the testing of the screen. OP poster should pay attention to a "dead pixel test" and ask for it if not run by the sales staff!

The good quality, non-glossy displays are getting difficult to find. IIRC, the following are good displays but possibly with the glossy, reflective screens: Samsung T240 Dell 2408WPF (maybe out of price range and difficult to find here.) I have seen both these models myself,(the Samsung here, the Dell in Malaysia) and subjectively they are both quite good IMO. Not long ago, Asus apparently released a 26-inch monitor that wasn't too expensive but I haven't seen the display myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagatus Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have been pretty satisfied with Samsung syncmaster 2333sw as well, can recommend, about 7500thb depending on where you buy, got mine from Fortune town. Non glossy, picture sharp, with a DVI connection, no HDMI though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borovik Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It will be driven by a high-end graphics card, probably ATI Radeon 4850-70-90 (I know I don't need this much power, oh well). My monitor budget is up to 16,000 baht. What models can you recommend for me? If your budget is so high - buy Samsung T260;its a little cheaper then 16k,but you will get 25.5 inch,no camera,no speakers,full HD,full connectivity. I bought it last year(it was 12k) and I did not regret.Family is enjoying the view. But I wanted to buy BenQ that time,I saw then the bargain - BenQ 2400G for 5k only,I am not sure if its available today,"G" stands for gaming and its 23.5 inch. It is quite old model - 2007.fullHD,HDMI included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewGuy Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 I ended up buying a Samsung P2370 after trying searching unsuccessfully for a 24 inch model. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hughden Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 You probably did the right thing. I have a 26" Samsung, which is too wide. You can see the colour change towards the edges of the panel from a normal sitting position. Would love the Apple monitor, if only they did it in matte.
