Hey guys,
I'm currently using as monitor a Flatron ez T730SH. It's been almost 4 years I have it and sometimes it would change the coloration of the whole screen (red to greenish, red-greenish over and over). Apart this I don't have any problems with it and I don't really care about the color problem.
However I'm being seduced by a thinner, better quality and much bigger monitor. I've read on the internet about LCD's and LED's. I'm tempted to buy a LED monitor. So today I went to several stores in my city (Cordoba in Argentina) and there are only a few models. I've been in approximately 5 stores.
Here are the models I can buy:
LG W2486L, 24'. (more than 600 US dollars).
LG E2350V, 23'. (about 15 dollars more expensive than the previous).
Another LG 2340, 23'. I don't know the final letter(s) of the model. This one costs "only" 435 bucks.
Another one was a Samsung 22' which costs between 400 and 500 dollars but I don't know the model so I'll check it out again.
I'm interested in at least 22-23'.
Also just to be sure, I'm currently using a monitor that refreshes 85 times per second. At 60 Hz I can notice that the screen kind of turns off and on and off and on and it's really, really, really bothering me. From 80 Hz and on I don't see any difference.
I've read that LED monitors have generally a 60 Hz refresh rate but that the screen doesn't turn off and on. It's rather on all the time and the pixels change 60 times per second. So I'm guessing it wouldn't bother my eyes? Can you confirm this?
Lastly, I would like you to advice me on which model to choose. The cheaper the better so if there's a model in my small list that "do the job" and is cheaper than the best model, I'd go for it.
Oh and I won't buy by internet, here it's not like in Western Europe or North America. I simply don't trust in the shipping due to personal (bad) experiences.
Thanks for any help.
