Viewsonic VX2025WM 20 $549.00AUD

From reviews this was seen as a fantastic monitor, I even showed a friend about it, and he went and got one.. and it blew me away.

Until I noticed this

CMV 221D 22 inch Wide LCD $539.00
http://www.cmo.com.tw/cmo/english/produ ... sp?size=22
(both prices from http://www.umart.com.au)

There's a good reason to go with the Viewsonic over the CMV.

The CMV uses a cheap TN-type panel, they have fast response times it can only display 6-bit colour, and needs to use dithering to display 16.7 million colours. It's especially noticable on gradients, gray in particular, where you'll be able to see a "banding" across the screen.

The Viewsonic is a P-MVA, which displays 8-bit colour natively. It also has slightly better contrast ratios and viewing angles than the CMV.

So if you want a better quality image, go the Viewsonic. If you really want the extra 2" of screen area, go the CMV.

Both are the same resolution, and similar specs. But I've heard the Viewsonic is particularly good at movies and games thanks to the P-MVA panel.

i'm deciding to replace my CRT 17" monitor that I had for around 6 years and going for a 19" widescreen LCD

but I don't know which model should I choose either

BENQ FP92W 5ms $325
ASUS VW192T 5ms $308
or PROVIEW FV926 5ms $280

does anyone have any of these and give me an idea on which one is better?

Its a sharp screen, i cant find any ghosting or that other stuff everyone worries about when buying an LCD. I use it as a smaller telly most of the time, and the usb & memory cards slots & 5years next business day warranty are a bonus aswell.

lol, mine is on 10%

Great monitor

We just got one of these at the office, nice specs, and I really cannot fault it for the price.
