Does anyone have any experience with this new 23" Samsung lcd monitor that recently came out? Whats interesting is that it does 2048 x 1152. Costco is going to have this on Black Friday for $260 with coupon. Seems like a good deal (tn panel) for a good name brand monitor. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11319316&whse=BC&Ne=5000001+4000000&eCat=BC|84|1680&N=4001499%204294967156&Mo=4&No=2&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-US&Sp=C&topnav= I wonder if most newer video cards support 2048 x 1152? -Guru
Newegg.com will sell you 24" any time of a day for around $300. the resolution being 1900x 1200 more than enough to watch the market all day long.
I currently have (1) 24" LCD (cheap Soyo one) and I'm looking add another large monitor for my charting (using 19" for charting currently). I just thought this 23" sounded interesting (especially with the Costco return policy and 3 year warranty)... -Guru
I am looking at buying this 28" LCD. I dont know the brand, but got decent reviews. Cant beat the price. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3326540&Sku=H94-2801
Costco has a 24" Sceptre (online only) thats going for 249.99 + $10 shipping. Sounds like a pretty good deal as well. I think Costco will automatically double the warranty so that would make it (2) years. The reviews on the costco site are excellent. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11243103&whse=BC&topnav=&browse=&lang=en-US -Guru
Well I made a trip to my local Costco last weekend and was able to see (2) 24" Samsungs on display (both $279) and the new 23" Samsung for $259. They all looked pretty good to me. I guess Costco is phasing out an older 24" Samsung model (thus they had (2) different one's on display). I'm still undecided as to what I'm going to do. I like the idea of the (3) year warranty that Samsung, Acer and Dell offer. My goal is to pick one up for around $200 (new, not refurb) so I may have to wait a little longer... -Guru
I also interested in this new Samsung monitor beacuse of the price and most importantly I can have charts wider by additional 128 pixels. Could someone please explain one thing to me: 1. This monitor has a DVI-D connection. 2. This monitor's resolution is 2,048x1,152 = 2,359,296 3. Max resolution supported by DVI-D is 1920x1200 = 2,304,000 Would this mean that DVI-D in this monitor can handle ''additional'' 55,296 pixels? I appologise if this question seems ignorant. I am no expert on computers. Thanks
According to the reviews, at least one person did get it to function at maximum res of 2048x1152 using a single-link DVI cable - even though it is slightly beyond the rated specs of single-link. Another reviewer had trouble with getting that resolution via DVI with their video card, but got it working with anlogue VGA. I guess with Costco's return policy it may be worth a try, but such an unusual resolution is bound to cause issues for many users.
