Samsung LCDs

Has anyone used a Samsung LCD as a gaming monitor? Perhaps some of the Dell boys can confirm whether or not Samsung was the manufacturer for Dell Monitors?

I've been using the same Dell 24" for almost 4 years. I wanted to upgrade two:

And don't want to waste $800 bucks on the monitors and mounts if it's not worth the investment.

Thanks

 

IMO The best place to look for info on whether or not a panel is any good is [H]ardOCP's hardforums. It's also the best place to buy used computer stuff on the internet.

I been using a Samsung 22" SyncMaster 226bw 2ms for a year never had any problems with it.

 

I've had a samsung for about 2 years and its great. No problems at all.

 

I've been using various Samsung LCDs exclusively for the last several years. They're all great.

 

yeah, my 2nd display is a samsung. i think it's been going strong for 4 years now?

 

funny, i have that monitor =P andi LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it !! it's so sharp it burns my eyes =D.

 

Never any tearing or problems with the refresh rate on graphics intensive games?

 

Shouldn't have any problems like that with anything under 6ms.

 

Actually I have a 5 ms monitor (a Samsung, T260 I think) and I have noticed some tearing in cutscenes, but I don't think that's the fault of the monitor. It does get blurry when you spin the camera fast, which a CRT wouldn't and maybe a 2 ms monitor wouldn't so much, but it doesn't seem to hurt playability that much. I usually don't need to see crystal clear text in a situation like that anyway.

 

yeah ,i am also a samsung fans ,mine is a refurbished 23'' and used it for 2 years.your choice 24'' is really nice ,but i know one that is also a 24'' one ,1920 x 1080 resolution, 300 cd/m2 brightness, DC 50000:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time and D-Sub, DVI, HDMI.similar one to yours ,but it is only for $209.you could check it first.

 

Can you get warranties with refurbs?

 

I have one of the most recent moddles that has come out, managed to get my hands on it for the special price of just £350 and it honestly is perfect. I have had no problems at all. Perfect quallity and no loss in any respect.

 

same, I run two of these ones

 

Im also using a 22" syncmaster 2ms and its great, no problems with it at all.

 

My Samsung monitor impressed me so much when I got it that I now have replaced my Sony HD TV and Sony Blu-Ray player with new Samsung products.

 

I use Samsung 2233RZ 22" 120Ghz 5ms widescreen LCD monitor. It's the best monitor what I had look up here if interested

erm....samsung Blue ray doesnt last long at all as Sony blue ray btw............ iv seen more sum blu returned then any sony.



ATM im using a 27in sam LCD HD tv and love it but i miss playing on my new LED 46in samsunge it only cost me like 1k after tax, so van if ya want i can get you a nice size tv or mon if you like and have it ship to you if any of the deals are still up for sony, lg or sam

 

I'm lookin to run 3x or 6x monitors with eyefinity so I don't think 46'ers will be a proper solution for what I'm trying to accomplish.

Thank you for the offer though.

If you haven't seen it, this is eyefinity:

This is it in action, be sure to turn HD on:



Ignore the goober who only talks using one side of his mouth.

 

Only thing I don't like about it, is it doesn't take the Bezel width into account when going from monitor to monitor.

Hopefully they just didn't set it up, but I doubt it.

Still though VERY VERY cool.

I'd love to play Aion with stacked monitors, that'll be a whole new experiece.
