Re: 24 "?

Just a double check suggestion... Are you sure its not just a faulty cable?

The Samsung T240 looks like a great lcd for the price, good res, all the inputs you need too.

Re: 24 "?

Anyone have the 23" Samsung 2333HD 23-inch Widescreen LCD HDTV?

It's $250 at Staples, 1080 lines, has 2 HDMI's 1 DVI, and an HDTV tuner.

I have not been paying attention to screen types, so I don't know what it has or how good it is. I saw it at Costco for $300 and it looked OK.

Re: 24 "?

What guys connections do you need? I have an Acer 23 and I'm perfectly satisfied with it. Will typically run between 150 and 180.

Re: 24 "?

It's too bad the Benq FP241W is discontinued, I absolutely love mine. It's the best screen I've ever stared into.

I hear the Dell panels are pretty good these days. Stay away from TN panels.

Re: 24 "?

I have a 2ms ( g2g ) 24in ASUS that only runs games ( Race sims, CODWaW, AA etc.. ) and I could not be happier. Granted I do sit right in front of the screen playing games. I do not browse often on that machine but when I do everything looks good.

Had a 23in Sceptre (sp? ) and could not dial in the yellows for some reason.
