Why not go for an 1920 with same specs?

Couldn't find one with good specs and an affordable price. Razz

Well, you say that every bit helps, but then you choose a 1680x1050 model Smile
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 Smile

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

Samsung T220



Input lag (T220 left, W2220P right)

While the thread is still here, may I ask why there's sometimes such a strong preference for the 1920x1200 screens as opposed to 1080p? Does the small increase in vertical space make any significant difference?

I am just wondering... I have never used a 1200 screen, nor have I seen them side by side. I have a 1080p LG W2253TQ myself... And as far as I know there are some decent LG LED 1080p models as well.


I have a Samsung 1920x1200 LCD Monitor and a Samsung 1920x1080 HDTV. If I clone it forces my monitor to 1920x1200 if I clone which is annoying. To me 16:10 looks more proportional than 16:9 and since I already have one 16:10 monitor why would I want to be forced to downgrade to 16:9?

I enjoy having a larger viewing area or desktop space to work with. I usually like to watch 1080p movies while sitting at my computer. Since it's running at 1920x1200 my taskbar is still viewable verse having a 1920x1080 would definitely cover the taskbar would it not?

It's all personal preference and I prefer the larger 1200 pixels over 1080/1050 pixels. I think it helps with multi-tasking having more desktop real-estate verse being forced to resize and move windows around to get access to other windows without being forced to use alt-tab/start-tab.

Currently using the SyncMaster 245BW(Digital)

My only complaint is that I sit lower than normal compared to my monitor and the top half of the screen is almost always fading/ghosting due to viewing angle. I would like to find a replacement monitor that doesn't suffer the same side effects.
