I am looking to buy a dual monitor setup to increase productivity. The 22", I feel, are gonna be to large for me so i'm pretty much set on getting a 20" widescreen. I currently have a 19" viewsonic VA912b(which i have been happy with) but would really like to go wide.

I do game some and would need < 6ms response time.

I was looking at the AL2016WBbd and have not been able to find any reviews on this monitor other than neweggs customer reviews. Is this monitor any good?? I love the price.

Wal-mart also has it for the same price that newegg does...

I've been looking at these too...how does the acer compare to these?

ViewSonic Optiquest Series Q20WB
SAMSUNG 204BW
LG L204WT-BF
BenQ FP202

What would you chose? I've been looking for so long I'm thoroughly confused now. Since I am buying two monitors, I really want to buy right and not have double trouble.

thanks in advance,
 
Just a heads up.. an 8ms P-MVA or S-IPS is pretty much as fast (to the eye) as a 5ms TN panel.
 
this is off topic, but i would like to get an answer

basically is
TN/PVA < MVA/IPS

see i thought that MVA and PVA there both similar and relatively poor quality, but i am starting to read opinons that the MVA is pretty decent. is MVA good?

cheers

EDIT: the read for my thinking, comes from the panel lotteries with people wanting IPS not PVA, and i assume MVA and PVA were pretty much the same. but seeing people recommend the MVA now, i'm just confused,
 
Depends on what you're mainly looking for:

For response time for example, it would be

TN>all

For viewing angles and color i'd say it's

S-IPS>PVA/MVA>TN

Overall I think P-MVA panels (as the Acer AL2051W) are a fairly good compromise between response time, color reproduction and cost. Maybe call it "Best bang for the buck"....
 
ScYcS, I see that you own the Acer AL2051W. How good is the brightness uniformity on it? Also, any noticeable backlight bleeding?
 
As with every LCD, there is a little backlight bleeding. Some have it more, some less. Mine has some, but it's not too bad and really i don't see it at all. Color uniformity is very good and overall better than my Samsung 226BW (a TN panel). The Acer has real 8 bit color and not the dithered 6bit color of TN panels and that shows.

Be aware though that the Acer has a glossy screen, a fact that not everybody likes. It has to be said thought that i never had a problem with reflections on the Acer. Glossy does not mean mirror. Both screen coatings (glossy or non-glossy), but they are all anti-reflective and can't be compare to the old school CRT reflections, where you couldn't see a thing when the sun shined on it.

CHEERS!

i've seen the 24inch dell (PVA), and wasn't excited about it. but i liked the 20inch dell alot, and the apple screens (all IPS). i think my old sony SDMX72 is an IPS, because of the colours and the fact that white isn't overly bright.

so that means i will stick to an IPS.

are there any 24inch IPS on the horizon?
 
Question:

I'm not at all familiar w/ dual mon systems.

Currently, I have a Viewsonic standard 19" VA912b LCD monitor(1280x1024). Say I buy another widescreen monitor 1680x1050. I have WinXP....can I use the two together? My graphics card is a nvidia 6800GT. I was thinking that I would prolly have to rotate the 19" 90 degrees so I can get the 1050 on the screen. How would I know if my graphics card would support 2704x1050 (1680+1024=2704)?

That specific monitor won't work for me because I plan to purchase this desk mount arm. I'll start looking for something w/ a similiar panel thats mountable.

As far as i know the monitor is wall mountable. That should also make it arm mountable.....you might want to double check.
