19" Lcd from Komplett

karltimber

Hi folks,
would like some feedback on the €399 range of 19" Lcd's on komplett.

There are 3 makes available -

Benq, Hansol and IIyama

thanks

Well, if its for gaming, the Benq is the only one with a 16MS responce time,
now basing Ghosting just on responce times and not the monitor performance, then this would suggest its the best out of the 3 for that task.

However, the best thing you can do is google for reviews of all 3. They will tell you exactly what you'd like to know.

yes -mainly gaming

anyone else -actually bought one ???

a friend of mine had 1.
they look amazing.
but from what i see the ms responce time doesnt suit most people for now.
bets thing is buy a 19" crt monitor from komplett, and when you have the dosh to buy a flat panel then get 1. but id wait a year or 2 untill the response time can be lowered a lot more.

how low? i use a tft with a 12ms responce time and get no ghosting that i can see in games
i don't think you would see it much even if it had a 16 ms responce time
crts are just not practical for lans

i know they aint, but it suits me.. not sure if ya agree..
where did ya get 1 with 12ms response?
and how much...

the one i have is a 17" tft (slightly smaller viewable area than a 19 crt) that costs 290 euro

a 19" tft with 12 ms responce will set you back about 430 euro on jes.de

19" inch LCD's are a rip off, Go for a 17" if you can. remember the Viewable area of a 17" is 17 inches! Not like a crt.
There is a LCD on komplett for 350 with a 10 second response time.
Nice for gaming

Some evidence would be nice.

For example, how about a 8ms BenQ 19" from Jes being €440, only €90 more?

(17" LCD is roughly equivalent to a 19" CRT, 19" LCD being equivalent to a 22" CRT)

Bought a 19" BenQ from Jes.de (12ms response time). Get something with a DVI input, definitely.

alot of the 12ms models only display ~262,000 colours

According to the BenQ website, the 937s (the one I have), displays 16.2 million colours.
