Naw, has a high ms, has a low contrast which even a 19" monitor would beat

One thing to be weary of when stating that is, which as far as I know, there is NOT a standard between different companies for measuring response time and contrast ratio. So you cant just go and compare the response time of one company to that of another, same for contrast ratio. Between different companies, they just dont coincide.

Hence why the LG 3000:1 look very similar to the much lower samsungs...

Just something to think about



...and its not a bad monitor, you probably could get better, but for around that price range it is def decent.


edit: just went through and looked at it again. It only has VGA as far as I can see, which if you are used to DVI, then you may not like the monitor.

But the VGA isn't all bad. From what i've heard most people can't even see a difference comparing DVI to VGA.

Looks good to me

have you tried to find that monitor on newegg because if its on there you can read all the reviews.

it does look ok though considering the price

Maybe good for a workplace but, not for gaming.

600:1???, definitely not a gaming monitor.
