Why not go for an 1920 with same specs? |
Couldn't find one with good specs and an affordable price.

Well, you say that every bit helps, but then you choose a 1680x1050 model
I understand a preference for 1200 over 1080p with all else being equal, but choosing an otherwise inferior model over a 1080p one is what seems strange to me. And that is what I am trying to understand  |
I chose 1680x1050 because, for me, resolution is not the most important characteristic. Picture quality is (color reproduction, contrast, input lag, response time, etc.). Also, price is a factor as well. I could easily buy 24" top of the line LCD, but I really don't have a need for it so for me that would be money wasted.
As for 22" with 1920x1200(x1080) resolution, I find it uncomfortable to work at that combination of screen size and resolution. And 22" with 1920x1200(x1080) native resolution and 1680x1050 screen resolution is not good either.

Second reason is I don't like when products are made worse with introduction of new models. In this case resolution change from 1920x1200 to 1920x1080 in most new 24" monitors. |
Anyway, I bought LG W2220P-BF. It was my first choice since I think IPS should be better that LED+TN and I read that on a couple of forums. The guy at the store told me the same thing. Price was not a factor since it was a 5 euro difference between them.
Mini review + comparison with T220 :
Pros :
color reproduction very good
low input lag
good stand - height, tilt and pivot adjustable
good viewing angles
Cons :
power LED too bright - can be turned off in menu
touch sensitive buttons - hard to use
LG W2220P
Samsung T220
Input lag (T220 left, W2220P right)
