silvershark44 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I bought myself a samsung 226bw 22" widescreen monitor today, so I officially dont have to scroll back and forth to see what the latest bit of kit you have slapped on your car looks like! Got to say, I wish I had bought one of these ages ago, makes surfing the net etc so much better as you can easily look at two pages at once. So if anyone wants a widescreen I would recommend.

silvershark44 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 £255 from pc world. I would have ordered online, but once you pay for p and p and everything, you dont really saves anything. Plus some places are selling more more online. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-050-SA There is also all this hype about S panels/ A panels and C panels. With the S panels being actually made by samsung and the other two outsourced to lower quality asian assemblers. So i wanted to check the code on the back to make sure I got an S panel. However interestingly, guess what, they have now removed the letter code! So you can tell anymore. There was also an engineers code through the menue where it would say whether it was made by samsung or out sourced, but on firing her up to check they have removed the code from this too! However, I cant fault it, and it has none of the issues reported so looks like samsung just assemble it themselves now and dont place a letter code to distinguish its place of manufacture.

RedM Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The monitor that SS44 has just got has some very good reviews. I might have to move some furniture and hope my Iiyama doesn't crash to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesG Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks all! In fact, building that cabinet has been a complete ordeal. Nothing fitted properly - I spent lots of time drilling and cable tieing and making patch leads and generally swearing at it. Until a couple of days ago, that entire room looked like a bomb had hit it - the mess only finishing about 3 inches from the edges of that photo At least it won't be stolen easily though, it weighs a ton!

Sheefa Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Dell 2405 FPW here. Had it about 1.5 years now and she's still mint. No dead pixels, amaazing colour resolution and with component out ports etc easy to connect to the Games Console or Hi-fi. Plus, I bought mine for about £650 IIRC and now they can be had for nearly half that. BARGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
