22" or 24" LCD monitor? (1 Viewer)

[Jon73]

Want to upgrade from my 19" I bought back in '04.

22" for $250
or
24" for $400

Discuss.

 

[Jon73]

Still deciding if that extra $150 is worth the extra 2"

And when do you think that 24" will become the standard and monster screens like 32" start becoming the size of choice?

Any thoughts about future price drops on 24"?

I'm not rushin', just it'd be nice.

24.

Plus you can get it cheaper at the city, go to some Asian IT stores, it's cheaper than retail prices.

 

[Jon73]

details plz.

I thought asian shops were always there to rip people off.

That's what I first thought, but act like you know it all and you'd be fine, OR bring along some Asian friends.

It's all located in Level 1, Haymarket, George St.

You go to that building that had all them Asian photo booth thingy lol.

I bought Logitech X-530 speakers before for $65 from a store called Orange IT there, retail prices then was $150, so I saved heaps, plus you can try to bargain for cheaper prices or shop around nearby stores inside that building.

it's called capitol square. its the yellowish looking buiding with paddy mcguires on the corner. i saw an asus laptop there the other day which caught my eye for $1399. might go and buy it.

as for this thread i have a 22" which i bought almost 2 years ago and does everything fine for me.

I bought the LG W2242T 22" LCD from MSY last month for $248. It's the most awesome LCD I've owned in ages. The last one I had was a BenQ FP937s and that was very ordinary.... before that I had a Sony SDMHS73 17" and I've gotta say that one had great picture quality as well. But If I were you, I;d buy the 22" because $150 isn't worth the extra 2 inches.

22" is worth the money because a 19" widescreen already costs $200 whereas a 22" is usually $30-40 extra.

i went from a 15 inch laptop screen to a 22 inch desktop and i thought that was a massive jump. Now i'd like a 24 inch.
I guess if u have the money go for the 24 inch screen but yeah...

Fail.

24" -> Way higher screen size = higher productivity.

Oh come off it, we all know that extra two inches is for more porn.

You're a nong if you ever buy any Acer product.

 

[networkmaster]

Does your graphics card support going to a res that will make the 24 worth while

Whats the point of a 24 if your monitor card can only do 1024x768

Me, im happy with my 17" LG

 

[Jon73]

I want to watch TV on it, mostly.

What's wrong with LG? I've got a 17" LCD and also a 24" LCD, both LG. Never had any dead pixels, both still in perfect working order. What's so bad about them?

I chose a 16:10 22" samsung after upgrading from a 4:3 19" lcd and can honestly say that 22" is ample space to work with regardless of what you're doing.

Save the extra cash and use it to buy quaility leads.
