I was shopping around for a 24" 1920x1200px display and found four on shop4thai site. After making my selection and purchasing the one I liked, they emailed back to me and claimed that that model was discontinued (even though Samsung Thailand site lists it still), and offered 3 alternatives, all of which were only at 1920x1080px resolution. When I requested availability information for the remaining 3 WUXGA displays (NEC, Asus and Benq), they proceeded to respond that all of those are discontinued as well and removed them from their site. What is going on?

Apparently, the "standard" currently in Thailand is 22-23" 1920x1080px displays and anything else simply isn't available. No other online shops carry anything with WUXGA resolution at all as far as I can see.

Any suggestions?

Maybe because most of people prefer the 16:9 option instead of 16:10 (1920x1080 vs 1920x1200).

Me included

InvadeIt list a nice EIZO 24" screen that does 16:10.

I develop applications for 1920x1080px resolutions, so I need some extra pixels above and below for development tools.

That EIZO is ridiculously expensive. Seems I'll have to order it myself from EU / US - even with shipping and customs the 16:10 displays will still be in ~20'000 THB price range.

It's virtually impossible to find 1920x1200 monitors in Thailand, as Spoonman says then Eizo is pretty much the only option for that resolution. And yes Eizo is "ridiculously" expensive, they are only really for high-end graphical users.

Just last week I scouted around for the exact same thing, and only one I found which is actually available is this Acer, but low and behold, that is a typo on their website, it only really is 1920x1080

The EIZO are particularly good and are pretty good in price/performance if you are doing color critical work.

How about an Apple display at about half that?

UPDATE:

Just saw that this display only seems to work with Apple's Mini Display Port. So unless you're using Mac I'd stay away from it.

Coincidentally I have a 24 inch screen with DVI / HMDI / VGA port, 1920x1200, from HP (i'm not home so I dont know the modelnr)... it have it only like 6months or so.. it's basically new, at the time i was looking into ALOT ALOT of reviews finding the best lcd display for price/value and it came out to be SAMSUNG 23inch or HP xxx but the HP had built in speakers + 4 usb ports and most ppl found the HP more appiling altho just lil bit better, had the highest Gumnut or something and lil response time, the screen can also rotate like horizontal / vertical. and I'm moving back to holland in a month... so if you're interested in purchasing it, I'm willing to sell it +/-13k.. (i live in central bkk, can ship). with extra cables (bought it for around 20-22k at the time incl importing it).... 24inch or bigger are hard to come by at (reasonable price) the moment...

I have one, it's for sale. Of course now that it looks like a total rarity, the price just went up... joking, make a fair offer and it's yours. It's 1 1/2 years old and I have used it only a handful of times. I thought I'd use it as a secondary display for my MacBook Pro, but I found I didn't really like working on 2 screens, didn't seem to make things easier.

It's an Acer, it was 15k new, and it was the first model with that display resolution that was a reasonable price... maybe worth 8k now? 24", 1920x1200.

I bought a HPw2448c (res 1920*1200) for 13k baht about a year ago. However the model seems to have been discontinued (at least here in Thailand).

I've been looking for the same thing. I found a couple on the Power Buy web site. The HP model is only 13,375 baht.

Madcat - you say you have imported monitors to Thailand with no problems and 30% duty on cost Plus shipping - would be grateful if you could confirm that and any other details of your experience as I am considering importing monitors. I got so badly ripped when I first came here 15 years ago that I stopped importing items altogether other than non dutiable items. Emboldened by posts here I recently imported dutiable items and found it a much changed experience. Efficient, fair duty rate, and smiling helpful staff at the CAT office where I picked up an item (rather than having to go to Customs office). However I am still cautious as I cannot tell if duty payable on an LCD is 0% 40% 60% or 80% as I do not know how they will classify it.
