LG 2252TQ vs Samsung T190

[rna800]

Guys, I am planning to buy a new LCD monitor as a gift for my sister and I am still undecided on what to get between the two. My budget is 10k but since the Samsung looks interesting, I could squeeze 600 bucks for that. Given the information at hand and based on the appearance, what would you get? I am starting to lean on the Samsung but 22" that is less than 10k is I think a steal. What do you guys think? Your opinion is very much appreciated.

Samsung na......ganda ng porma.

what the?!!!... ang taas na pala ng bagsak presyo LG. just a few months I remember nasa 11+ pa ito.

imo, the bigger screen, the better. though might increase eyes and shoulder stress a bit, contrary to most fellow 22"-up tsikoteer owner opinions.

magkano na ba peeble design Samsungs? the "T" series looks good with their glass led light look. but the glass makes it rectangular looking, while peeble series looks better imo.

Yup, and that's making my decision harder since though the size of the LG is 22" and appearance wise, it looks good too, the Samsung for me looks way better and the specifications are higher in terms of contrast ratio.

I got the prices from PC Gilmore. They sell cheaper computer products as compared to the ones being sold in malls. In Complink I think the T120 is priced at 11k.

What's peeble series? They also have the 2253LW priced at P11,500 and the T220 at P13,800 but they are way out of my budget.

LG has better quality than Samsung. From experience.

so I'll go with LG on this one. Bigger desktop realstate too.

dont get blinded by 20,000:1 dynamic ratio, it's nothing.

^^^ Agree here. It's different when you're working and playing with 22" widescreen. And it is cheaper, too. In terms of quality LG is at par with Samsung for flat panel displays....

Based on the picture, it looks like the 932BWEPLUS. Yup, it looks good too.

I am currently using an LG monitor and all I could say is all praises. It's still working perfectly after all those years.

Is it really true that those ratio's are just marketing gimmick and in the end they are all the same?

I have tried working on 15", 17", 19" and 22" LCD monitors and the 22" is the best! It's big and wide. One thing that's making lean towards the Samsung T190 is the appearance and the contrast ratio. Since Horsepower said that I should not get blinded by those ratio's, I might reconsider and get the LG instead.

I have read lots of reviews of both monitors and almost all users have positive feedback's.

maraming peeble models po yan. I'm using 2232gw, peeble din.
but quality, I'm not satisifed with mine. the color temperature is not right.

from what I researched before I bought mine, yes, marketing hype lang yan. I would prefer a better view angle. problems with lcd where you notice the picture fade, and possibly look as if it will disappear from view.

I was also considering the 2232GW but the price is just too much for a gift.hehe I still have a long list of "to buys" for a lot people this holiday season so I can't afford to lay another thousand or two for a monitor. Maybe next Christmas.hehe

Perhaps the reason why the picture starts fading is because your eye is starting to strain?

Ang mura nalang ng 22" LCD monitor ngayon. Parang gusto ko na tuloy palitan itong isang 17" LCD ko para pareho nang 22" widescreen LCD ang monitors ko.

[Psylocke]

dynamic contrast ratio is just a scam. they change the backlight intensity to get such high contrast ratios...

Yup 22s are getting cheaper but based on my research, this LG W2252TQ is the cheapest 22" in the market. There is also the 22" Viewsonic VA 2226W Widescreen for P9,700 (PC Gilmore).

BTW, LG-Philips is the manufacturer of Apple Cinema HD displays (and i think all of the display requirements of Apple including the portables).

from experience, madali masira ang Samsung (all of the PC peripherals even our washing machine, ref and VCD player didn't last long.)

Yung LG, talagang matibay. Our LG freezer which we bought before the Samsung ref is still here working like its new. All LG PC peripherals I've purchased are still working too. (Monitors (both CRT & LCDs), DVD burners etc).

Me, im waiting for the 24" LCDs to drop. For now, I will settle with these TN LCds. I hope to upgrade to Super-IPS LCDs (which are currently 40-50k for the same size as these) after sometime.

I want the 24s also but they are still expensive. Give it probably a year and perhaps that's the time that they will start slashing their prices.

The only Samsung that I had was a U600. I didn't like it and I wanted to throw it the 2nd of owning it. Always losing signal. It didn't last a year. I just hope I will not experience that in their LCD tv.

just got the LG W2252TQ today for 9650. very satisfied with it.

the "FUN" buttom is gimmicky/useless though...

i bought it mainly because of the "SOURCE" button which allows me to to quickly switch between two PCs connected to it, my main pc via dvi and 2nd pc via vga.

Wow! At least now I have a source. Were you also eyeing on that model or did I have any influence on you?hehe Where did you get your unit? Since it's cheaper by P25.

I read a lot of reviews about it and a lot of them said there are features that are totally useless.
