Dell 20" TFT <€500
 

http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna..._summary=False

Excellent bargain if you ask me, and if you are able to buy it as a company/without taxes, it only costs like €300.. delivered to your doorstep.

I ordered one last week Monday and it's sitting on my desk since yesterday evening, it has 4 inputs:
- D-Sub VGA
- DVI-D
- S-Video
- Composite

the base is very sturdy and allows the monitor to pivot in all directions, you can also turn the screen 90° if needed. You get a power block, VGA and DVI cable, a small guideline and a driver CD.

Plug and play installation, on first inspection using [g]Nokia+monitor+test[/g] no dead/lazy pixels at all.

Native resolution is 1600x1200, which avoids head-ache with widescreen setups, as the wide screen version is actually smaller in total surface if you compare the 20" TFT and 20" Widescreen.

DVD movie gave clear image, good contrast, although black is not black, unlike your good old CRT. I have an old Xeon 18.1" TFT installed next to the new Dell, that one's color balance and contrast is simply bbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaad in comparison:) but still doable for text, it's actually easier on the eyes for surfing, ms word and emailing. But gaming and movies are much better on the Dell Screen.

* The D-Sub VGA connector works okay, hooked that on up to a second PC and image re-aligns quickly and correctly without any flicker or image noise.
* DVI-D image quality is close to perfection, no manipulation needed.
* one nifty feature that I found in the OSD menu was PIP. Picture in Picture, it allows the s-video or composite source to be shown at the same time as the D-Sub or DVI-D in a small window, quite nifty.

Now I can hook up 2 PCs and 2 consoles to this monitor and be done with it.:)



in the US the same monitor is priced €499, but doesn't seem that good a deal compared to EU

I can have this @ my local shop:
TFT 19" Samsung 930BF silver/black fixed stand 4ms € 429.00
http://www.pixmania.be/be/nl/142378/...ncmaster.html#

Would the samsung be a better deal?

blurry shot, because I with flash it's worse;

PIP is really cool; hooked up S-Video of 2nd to screen and looping 3DMark2001SE

for about 40 euro more you have a 20" dell with wonderfull resolution of 1600x1200

19" TFT and 1280 looks stretched in my humble opinion
it's okay for 19" CRT , but on a 19" TFT that resolution is just too low, 19" bad choice;)

Is that only possible on that Dell monitor?

@pixmania u can get it a lot cheaper it seems.

I was wondering if it was okay for gaming. 16ms is much for TFT's those days.

16ms is fast in my humble opinion; that PIP is a cool feature, don't think it will be on many other screens though

now it's € 454 ?
was this another deal ?

that's the normal price?

Well, normal price is in the € 7xx'ish, discount price is about € 450.

it IS €454, re-read my first post on how to go lower (hint BTW hint)

it's because I'm special :)

I do not have a BTW no, so ?
can you order one for me Piotke ? :)

Sorry, there is a limit of only one screen per person...

yah that sucks, still, €470 delivered at doorstep is far from bad; you can get 2 of these babies for less than the price of Merom and Zippy.

can I do 3D mark with it ?
guess not :p

but what if you need a dualscreen setup :p

I can "do" 3DMark on my Riva TNT2...

yeah, even my onboard vid can do it, but not to reach first page for M :)

there is only 1 page that matters; and you can get a spot there whenever you feel like it :p

.eu ?

.gov would be nicer don't u think?

in case you haven't noticed, Madshrimps is not a country; so we can't get a .gov ;)

what Rob can do with Robland, jmke can do to with [M] ;)

Lol, but we have more viewers ;p.

20.1" widescreen € 448

I don't like widescreen, you loose desktop space:)

don't like it either ,
but maybe one of you guys willing to 'upgrade' from a 4.3 and selling me that one cheap ;)

20" samsung, not wide screen costs about 300 euro now.. at forcom. unless you are dying for those extra connections, the samsung seems more interesting, pricewise.

I ordered that one last friday :^D
