    Thinking of selling my 19` Samsung monitor (think I can get £100 for it), my pda (£170 ish) and then using some birthday money to get a 24` screen… was just wondering which one is better:

    or

    The Samsung is both cheaper and has a lower response time… and has a different contrast ration – but I have no clue what that does.

    I also have huge brand loyalty to Samsung, as this current monitor is hot shit… what do you guys thing?

    Dell or me no question 🙂

    Saying that though, I dnt think you can go wrong with either.. Sammys are shit hot too.. but Dell for me

    Well maybe I’m biased, but the Dell has a nicer picture on it.

    i had the exact same question as you Turks about a month ago.

    i initially ordered the samsung but while i was waiting for it to be released i changed my mind and went for the Dell. the main factor for me was the lack of inputs on the samsung.
    i am extremely happy with the Dell and i doubt that i would be any happier with the samsung

    CH – if you wouldn’t be happier with the Samsung, maybe youcould be equally happy, if not close? Especially as it’s a tad cheaper 8) I’d personally go for the Samsung myself, they have their shit together and always do top notch stuff whilst typically Dell are ok; their support Isn’t always as nice, fast and free as they make out.

    yeah but i can plug my 360 and ps3 into my monitor as i cant use our TV or the missus will go nuts. she just about let me plug the Wii into our main tv. also the dell has a card reader on it which the samsung doesnt have, and seeing as i dont have a card reader on my pc it was another factor for me.

    I have a Samsung 22″ and thought it was Ok then I bought a Samsung 40″ HD TV and use that as a monitor instead. 😈

    Oooo… I was going to get it to add other things like that too… so the Samsung cant support that?!

    Well there you go then!

    Was just wondering… does anyone use their monitor for work? Just wondering what it would be like to swap over to widescreen… as I am used to … err… square screen.

    And if I ever get back to playing games… will the graphics on my 9800 pro look shit because the screen is bigger?

    I wish I had £3000 to spend instead!

    If you are going to use it as a monitor also I would recommend it being true HD for the propper res. I work witht this TV screen hence why I havent set it up as a normal TV. Its really difficult to go back to the 22″ as it just looks so incredibly small. Mike this is a great TV. Very sexy looking and great colour and def. I’d Love a 52″ but I just havent got the space 😉

    37` monitor?! You fucking with me? Thats bigger than our main TV in the lounge by 9inches…

    Dont think I could cope with anything that big… Dad’s just bought a 26` tv for his study, and it looks way too big to be a monitor.

    I also suffer from “lack of space” and lack of cash syndrome… think I will be sticking with the 24
