28" Lcd Or 30" Lcd

[gazal]

Been thinking about either buying a viewsonic 28" LCD which retails around $700-800 while the Samsung 30" retails for $1800-2000. Anyone has one or recommend of one? i current have a samsung 22". LCD made by samsung is pretty good, clear and sharp not 100% sure about viewsonic

if u can afford it go with the samsung. its obviously the better pick

but obviously you gotta ask yourself wat ur using it for and if the extra $$$ justifies it. and wat you want it to do.

[gazal]

mainly to watch pOrn..

[Do-Luck]

Go the Samsung then

i say get the smaller one... nothing like seeing a porn star with a smaller, errr, 'toolbox' than yours... quite flattering...

i have the toshiba 3"... makes me feel pretty good about myself...

samsung 40" ... thats what i got ..i paid 1568 wif gst ..LA40R81BDX is the model number... very good for what it is.. GTA4 on ps3 never looked so damn good!!!

My mate has a viewsonic and I think it is still a pretty good lcd screen, even though it might not be better than samsung, but I'd settle for one of those, considering the price difference.

[gazal]

I'm leaning toward the viewsonic there's not a huge size difference 2" but with a huge price difference. Its mainly for design so the bigger the screen the better as there's more room for my colour pallets tools etc.

What's the clarity of the viewsonic screen like? it is sharp and bright?

[evade]

what are you using it for? a monitor or a TV?

I bought one of those 28" viewsonics for ~7xx and it was pretty good..would make an good monitor..it is damn bright..the white is really good.

however..as a TV..it has no remote..and you need a tuner....plus it started making this buzzing noise so I returned it less than a week later. decided I will save money and get a proper plasma/lcd...

the other thing is that its an older 6bit LCD screen, and it doesnt have a terribly great viewing angle (again not a huge issue if you use it as a monitor)

I'd say the quality of the display from a viewsonic is pretty much the same as most of the "known brands".

Oh, and I managed to do all my design work on my 17'' Phillips LCD

the poor man pays twice, and size does matter lol..

[gazal]

I haven't bought it yet.. just thinking about it atm.. Rather spend the 1k on my car

[krzysiu]

meh i would go for a 32 inch, managed to pick up my samsung for 900 bucks delivered to my door.

[khunjeng]

buy an X series sony as they kick arse. I have a 46" and 52" X series and never looked back.

[blackrex]

Buy a second 22" screen, if your video card has multiple outputs.

I just picked up the Samsung 46" F8 LCD (with free 32" FTW!) and it's awesome, Samsung = good!

(LA46F81BDX) Clicky

Edit - I also got mine before GTA, hehe. Funny how many ppl bought new LCD's for that hey! Yes it looks AWESOME!

Its funny because GTA's graphics arent even that good, you would want an LCD for MGS 4

[adznight]

Oh well I know they are not cutting edge but hey it's better than a standard 100hz telly

Yeah I promised myself I wouldn't buy another game till I finish GTA....and Assasins Creed which I kinda dumped when I got GTA
