Officemax.com states it's for in-store pickup only atm, though just yesterday they were available online

They also list it as a discontinued item, so... just an FYI

it's a S-PVA screen, not TN btw (for you audio/video-philes, this should put a smile on your face)

6ms Response Time

Wouldn't that create a bluring effect on most games?

6ms Response Time

Only if your response time was shitty and above 16ms. My monitor here runs 8ms and everything's smooth as butter.

Anyways, sounds like a good deal, but I'm not touching a Soyo product with a 10ft pole after some past experience with their computer line of hardware.

6ms Response Time

newer LCD's don't really ghost in games, that occured more with the older 12-16ms screens, even the 8ms new LCD's don't ghost from what my friends tell me who have them

this one doesn't ghost much, no difference in ghosting from my other 19" samsung 940 BW's that i have on my floor behind me that i was using before :)

edit: my 19" samsungs are 5ms btw

[Shuemue]

I have a 19" widescreen 8ms, no ghosting, it's unbranded too.

at $279, you should really consider getting this samsung monitor, being best of its kind.

at $279, you should really consider getting this samsung monitor, being best of its kind.

it's a TN panel, being the cheapest screen type of all LCD screens

the Soyo I posted is technologically superior (screen-wise) than this samsung, as it's an MVA screen (technically it's a P-MVA)

TN film (Twisted Nematic)
- low manufacturing/retail costs
- restrictive viewing angles
- fast pixel response times
- dead pixels display white. Stuck pixels display RGB colors
- lower contrast levels means blacks are not as dark as VA based panels
- lower color reproduction

MVA (Multidomain Vertical Alignment)
- compromise between TN and IPS technologies
- superior color reproduction over TN but not as good as IPS
- very good viewing angles but less than IPS
- higher contrast than TN or S-IPS means very good blacks
- dead pixels are black
- slower pixel response than TN or IPS
- details can be lost when directly viewing dark areas

Premium-MVA (P-MVA)
- same as MVA except ...
- "overdrive" technology increases pixel response but still slower than TN
- may have slightly degraded color reproduction due to "overdrive" process

so, they are slightly slower (haven't noticed a slower response from this and my TN-panel Samsung 940 BW, though), but have much better color representation (TN panels cannot display millions of colors, thus you'll see color banding in certain scenarios), and better blacks also

edit: also, the 226BW isn't 1080p (1680x1050)

Westinghouse L2410NM
1920x1200
MVA screen
8ms
HDMI, Component, VGA, Composite inputs

$410 after rebates

I paid $279.99+29.99(1 year warranty)+tax: $332.38 for my Soyo (3 stuck pixels)

part of me wants to return this and get the westinghouse, but i dunno.. even though I'd love to have all the inputs on the westinghouse, almost $100 USD more with shipping :/

both are great screens though!

[Olo401]

Checked out that Samsung one, it was nice but a bit out of my price range..

This is the one I'm looking at.

[Epical]

Those are all pretty old Samsung monitors. The new 2493 we sell sports a 10000:1 CR. $429.

i dual these at work. have fun when the lamp burns out.

[mootsfox]

The Soyo's have HUGE quality problems, and Officemax knows this, probably why it's discontinuing the screen.

I'd go with a 22w2/226wb or a 2407WFP-HC.
