Hii guys,

Im thinking about getting either the 244t or the 30 inch equivalent. Am I right in thinking that quality wise samsung is the way to go?

Also - my vision is pretty awful. It is very likely I will be running these things at a lower than native resolution. As an example my present 21inch trinitron is running at 1024*768

Is this likely to be a problem? Whilst Ill be watching lots of movies etc I will be doing lots of work/reading on it too.....

(system performance is not an issue as I'll be getting a top spec pc to go with it)

Thanks
 
If you plan at running at a lower resolution the 30 inch is the way to go because it will scale good at 1280- 800 so 1024*768 should look ok also you can use the 1:1 not sure if the 244t offers that. Samsung uses SPVA on both which is awful next to SIPS panels which the dell and planar use below.

So i would suggest for the 24-28inch the

Planar PX2611W
$999.99 US slightly more than the the 244t Samsung ($650.00) but kills it in every category.

and the 30inch,

DeLL 3007WFP-HC
$1,300 US cheaper than the 305T Samsung ($1,600) and again kills it in every category.

Those monitors listed above offer much better viewing angles, color reproduction, gaming experience (less input lag) and media experience.
 
Thank you, I will take your advice. (It seems available in the UK!)

Its getting hard equating 'dell' with quality lol - then agian its also suprising seeing that its cheaper than the samsung!

PS - I hate this exhange rate thing...to me it looks like you guys get everything half price :-( If pc's werent so heavy to carry/avoid import duty Id get a first class air ticket and still save money buying my new system!
 
Ya the exchange rates are a bitch lol, but your pound is top notch would be cheaper to go to the USA and pick it up ^_^. Also here's a good site for comparing different models (very limited).

It's mainly in French with English on the main points. You can always translate the site with google if you want. Well enjoy your future monitor and remember the panel lineup:

1.SIPS
2.AMVA
3.SPVA
4.TN

^_^
 
ta - very helpful. I knew my A level french would come in handy one day lol
Now to decide on all my other components!
