"I have a chimei monitor at work, and a viewsonic at home.

Every time I look at the viewsonic I can see where the extra cash went."

Your beloved Viewsonic is actually the exact same panel as the CMV one... CMV make them for Viewsonic.

Not all the time. If stock runs low while producing, some companies outsource the parts to keep production going. Its known companies like BenQ use LG internals sometimes if they need to. Not all monitors are the same, as quality from monitor to monitor can be different. Hence why some have issues with dead pixels, backlight bleeding etc.

U always hear the 5 horror stories, but not the millions of satisfied customers. I tend to go with companies that have been around for a while, so i know they at least have some sort of product rep...chimei has about the quality of the $30 dvd players u get from cheap as chips :P

My mistake chops, AUO makes Benq and Viewsonic LCD monitors where as CMV uses their own company CMO, both companies in comparison make identically shit LCDs but their price is very hard to beat. the 22 inch has a very good contrast ratio on both parts and supports HD 1080dpi. I have tested this and it looks great.

Blackr32 that is correct definitely, as reported some of manufacture had been put over to CMO for Viewsonic monitors. prime example.

I think though, all in all, If you put the fact into the equation that nearly all of these monitors costs under 600 dollars, these are fantastic for their price. definitely worth it and I swear by the CMV 22D so far. Also I think that the BenQ 20" Widescreen 8ms LCD which I have tested does seem to have crisper quality but even though difference is negligable I would go with the larger viewing area, and the faster response time.

Light leakage is the main problem on the 22inch CMV blackr32 not image quality, it isnt grainy at all, If you are viewing TV or some other form of external Video source on the monitor it could be the signal or data quality itself. I have tested several games (lately NFS:Carbon) and movies on the LCD and its performed well.

I hear its a good panel but if you focus too hard you can just see the anti-glare coating on the screen, looks like a slightly grainy fine thin layer on the surface of the picture. good panel tho.

best panels in the world are made by panasonic. thats no lie. they do all the alpine head units among others too. I wonder if theres a way to hook up my touch screen alpine tv unit to a computer in the car or something.

Read some reviews on the viewsonic 21" 2025wxm

I bought one and it is amazing, its was meant to be one of the best 21s when I got it.

I was tossing up between that one and the BenQ at the time - every review that compared them side by side told me to spend the extra fiddy and get the viewsonic, so I did.

What really matters with all these things though is that YOU are happy with the performance you got for the price you paid.

I'm going to buy an LCD tv this weekend.

But i'm in to minds as to whether buy one that just does 1080i or wait a while and get one capable of 1080P.

Any thoughts,

i mostly want it for playing xbox360 and playstation 3 in the future.

Yes you can, but only from about 5cm away and if you are really looking for it.

Don't want DVi really i want HDMi. And i'm aware HDMI and DVi are almost the same just that HDMi carries sound signals.

Money is no object really. Between 2 and 3 grand is ok, but don't want to spend much more than that.

so really u want an LCD tv not a monitor... if you have an amp/ speakers/ surround sound system with an optical input why worry about HDMI and getting sound out the front of crappy speakers on a tv...? use the DVI connection, then get an optical cable for your audio and you will have crisper sound. (since 2-3gs is ur budget I wouldnt worry about LCD Monitors, go for an LCD TV that supports HD)

I then suggest a Panasonic LCD Panel tv. Panasonic make the best LCD TVs and Plasmas, you will love it.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
