Well I know that the 2232BW+ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001310 and the 2253BW http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001268 are very good high end monitors. I realized they don't have the ports to like LCD TV or something so that they will be able to be used for a pc and for like playing a ps2 on them or something and for very high end gaming. Can you find me any good very high end and a very reliable monitor made by very good makers and brand and model(anything good or best) for what I'm looking for? My budget is around $250-300. Thanks. Peace. BTW 22".
Is the samsung 21.6" 2253LW a good one? And for like crysis warhead high end gaming? Because I have it. Thanks. Peace.
I have four Acer AL2216Wbd 22" widescreen monitors (2 at home, 2 at the office)...I love them. No ghosting, no bad pixels, vibrant yet accurate color, no problems at all from any of them. They will also work with the PS3 & anything else that has HDMI and 720P support. If you want 1080P support, you will be looking at a 24" screen...the Acer X243Wbd is a 24" 1080P compatable screen for $280, that would be my choice if I only wanted one screen. I can play my PS2 through these screens, my video capture card is fast enough that I see no lag at all. The PS3 (an I assume the xbox 360) hooks up directly with a HDMI->DVI converter cable. I also use these screens for HD-TV.
What is 720P and 1080P? What does that stand for? What are they used for? Are they important? BTW I can't connect my ps2 to none of those monitors because they don't have those colored plugs. Thanks.
You can look in the glossary and read all about 720p and 1080p resolutions or do a google search.. To keep it short these are basically progressive HDTV video modes for LCD's, Plasmas, and DLP's... Now then, there are 2 Acer monitors that i really like and they are the Acer G24 and the Acer P243... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009155 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009125
All monitors with a resolution of 1900x1200 are basically 1080p, just they will be a little taller. 720p is 1280 x 720 x 60p 1080p is 1920 x 1080 x 30p The "p" stands for progressive. This is for video playback and would accept a progressive signal and display it as progressive rather than converting it to interlaced. The difference between interlaced and progressive will not affect the PC. The number after the resolution is the frames per second. This is really the way the video is recorded. 720p video can be recorded at 60 fps, so it can show motion better. The TV has nothing to do with it. It is in the HD spec for video production not for the monitor. You can produce 1080p60 if you wanted and also, you can have 720p30, so it depends on the video source really not the TV. Most 720p monitors are actually 1360 x 720. This means that you can display a PC resolution of 1360 x 768 1080p TVs would display at 1920 x 1080 There is a lot more about HDTV if you look it up. It is the standard for television now. For example, DVD was at 480i/p. 480i was interlaced and 480p was progressive. PS3 is 720p or 1080p depending on the game. A 1080p monitor would be a good alternative to a 1900x1200 monitor because you can watch full screen HDTV movies on it and have less of a vertical stretch. Alternately, you can use a 40" 1080p HDTV as a monitor and that would be $700 or so (they are extremely cheap now). The second advantage to a 1080p TV is that you can connect an antenna to it and get amazing quality TV signals. If you already have an HDTV, you can use that as your monitor. Just the refresh rate of most LCD HDTVs are 60hz. Newer ones are 120Hz and LG just made a 480Hz. Plasmas have higher refresh of 480Hz, but are more money. The difference between a TV and monitor is probably nothing. A CRT Monitor would probably have the best quality, but those are big bulky, heavy and very expensive (for a good one). They are still the standard for 2D and 3D animation because of the more accurate color reproduction and black levels. LCD is getting better at this though. Also there is SED, FED, and OLED which are supposed to be better.
