226BW vs 2253BW

[skippnr]

It seems the one rotten apple of a panel some very unfortunate souls received embedded in their 226bw's is no more. Now that the panels are consistent..........

Can either monitor reign supreme with such slight differences?

Corner 1 the 226BW Weighing in at 4.9kg
Corner 2 the 2253BW(successor????) Weighing in at 5.1kg

Dynamic Contrast Ratio

Corner1 = 3000:1
Corner2 = 8000:1
Matching on the real contrast ration(1000:1)
Come on do more bright flashes really make Video/Video Games any better?

Viewing Angle

Corner1 = 160/160
Corner2 = 160/170

Power Consumption

Corner1 = 55 watt
Corner 2= 45 watt
Being somewhat concerned of my energy consumption I actually like corner2 for this bout.

Price.....

Different from site to site.... overall I believe the 226bw is slightly cheaper. U????


Where would you place your bets??
And please add a post if I left anything out.......

definitely get the 2253BW. Here is why...

1. 2253BWs all have the same panel, Although the recently manufactured 226BWs may be more consistent, what is the gaurantee you will get a new one?

2. Some 226BW only have a 700:1 contrast ratio. It depends on the exact panel you get. I actually saw two dif 226BWs for sale on a website where the one with the 1000:1 contrast ratio had a different product code but still the same model number.

3. The 2253BW has 1:1 pixel mapping, 226BW does not.

4. 2253BW design is nicer but that's a matter of opinion.

Good point......
Didn't know the 226BW lacked 1:1 Pixel Mapping

I'm not in the market for this monitor myself I just don't understand how some people say the 226BW is better.

I'm actually waiting on the Samsung 22 PVA (2263PW)
I hope It is more then a concept as well as affordable.
