| |  best 1920x1200 monitor
It's been a while, since I've visited these forums, but I am looking into getting a new monitor and was looking for some input.
I am wanting to buy a 1920x1200 monitor, but I have no clue which would be the best choice, as there is so much choice atm. I got a slight preference to a monitor with HDMI input, but then again, dvi is easily converted, so does not matter much.
I am leaning towards the Samsung T240.
So anyone got an opinion?

Samsung is really hit or miss in my experience with computer monitors. A lot of my friends who bought them had constant problems with bleeding, they had to return it 4 times until they got one that had an acceptable or no bleed. But Samsung is pretty top of the line in my opinion so I wouldn't count them out.
I've got a Sceptre monitor right now on my desktop, and they're pretty good for the price, I've had no complaints and it's never failed me.
I'm sure you've already looked but.. Newegg.com - 1920 x 1200, LCD Monitors, Monitors, Computer Hardware

I have a 20" Acer, bought from newegg and it is amazing. Shipped with no dead pixels and has had zero problems in 2 years or so of use.
Is it possible you can wait for Black Friday? There will be some insane deals this year. |

I'm sure you've already looked but.. Newegg.com - 1920 x 1200, LCD Monitors, Monitors, Computer Hardware | Isn't bleeding an animation fault, maybe you mean Ghosting?
I've never heard of the brand Sceptre before, but I don't think they are available in Europe.
I've looked at newegg, but as I am buying it locally I mostly used: 24" TFT monitoren | Tweakers.net Pricewatch Prijzen
But with all the choice available it is hard to come to a proper choice. I can afford to spend some money on quality, so I am not out looking for the cheapest one, but I do want my money's worth of course. Quote:

As I am thinking about buying the T240 for ~300 euro's or the T240HD for ~370 euro's. Think the inbuild tvtuner (and speakers) for another 70 ain't a bad thing to have.
The two-port USB-hub is kinda useless for me I think. An inbuild webcam/mic would have been nice, but far from required. And the software that lets you change the OSD-settings, seems pretty handy.
The only real reason why I am so far looking at Samsung is that I've got good experience with their lcd-tvs, in between family and their ubiquitous presence on my university. Quote:
