    Samsung PLS S24D390HL vs Samsung SPVA UN32EH5300 mini review

    I always meant to get one but i don't buy monitors every week more like every couple years and it seemed like such a waste.. isn't a good calibration kit like 250 bucks? Also, the calibration kit, does it depend on ICC profiles? or can I just play around with screen settings only?

    Samsung PLS S24D390HL vs Samsung SPVA UN32EH5300 mini review

    Because according to the Lagom test pattern, the blue channel was not at 2.2. Supposedly everything is at 2.2 right now unless I get a real calibration kit.

    Samsung PLS S24D390HL vs Samsung SPVA UN32EH5300 mini review

    I picked up one of these new Samsung S24D390HL PLS (My first PLS screen!) monitors at a bargain price and just thought I'd share my findings with others who are looking to pick up this monitor. I will be comparing the monitor with my 32 inch Samsung UN32EH5300 SPVA 1080p TV which I currently...

    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    +1 to the green bias as well. This is exactly what I saw. You can try increasing the blues a bit but greys might become reddish and whites might become purple. I tried for 3 days trying to find a workable setting, was not able to find one. I don't think you can get accurate color from the...

    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    My point and shoot ZS7 camera isn't able to reproduce the same colors I saw with my eyes. Some shots are pretty close but that deus ex menu was definitely troubling it. If I had a better camera, it would probably look like those other screenshots. Anyway, I gave up with the Benq. It's...

    Hooked up via DVI. Tried HDMI and setting range to 16-235, it was the same result. Using nvidia.

    Actually in real life, the samsung looks like the picture you posted. My camera is a crappy point and shoot, it's hard to do proper picture. Maybe I'll take a picture of them individually.

    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    The TN is the Samsung T240. I lowered the red by 10 and increased brightness (mind you the CCFL is 4 years old now). I did calibrate the Benq as well.. so that the grey box is grey and not reddish or greenish. I had to look away a couple of times so that my eyes can recalibrate lol. In...

    I'm using this to calibrate: http://www.imaging-resource.com/ARTS/MONCAL/CALIBRATE.HTM http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gamma_calibration.php#gamma-test-2.png I still like the reds on my Samsung better. I mean damn, I got the stupid grey box to look proper grey and it kinda looks like it blends...

    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    You guys aren't wrong. The T240 is 16:10 1920x1200 but it's scaled to 1920x1080 (I'm using cloned display).. which makes it look like that. Piece of shit T240 didn't have 1:1, which pissed me off quite a bit when i got it back then. But picture looked pretty good for a TN, so I kept it. I...

    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    The 24" is sharper because the pixels are denser. The 27" left side gets washed out because of poor viewing angle. I'll do a bit more adjustment tonight. Colorimeters are too expensive for me. Gonna see where I can rent one.

    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    Why yes I did. A gallon's worth. Probably just the calibration is off. I can't get this damn thing to look right. If I drop the green, it gets too red, I can't pump up the blue or shit will become purple. I can't get it to look exactly like the Samsung. I spent a couple hours on this...

    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    Ok, I did a quick comparison with my TN panel and I have to say I'm disappointed. The usable viewing angle is very bad for a MVA panel. The colors get washed out fast as soon as your head moves a little bit to the side of the monitor. Even when your head is directly in front of it, I can tell...

    BenQ GW2x50(HM) thread.

    Sadly, I already have a 24". I wanted a bigger screen because it allows me to see more clearly for my racing sim (ie. spot the apex better). If this turns out bad, I'll probably get that 27" version samsung and see how it goes.

    Damn man.. that S27A650D is $369 over here.. a full $110 more than the gw2750hm. If it was the same price, I don't think I would think twice after seeing your photos! Gonna give this one a try first.
