Im going to buy a new monitor tomorrow
Im thinking about buying one of those
Samsung 226 BW 2 ms 229€
or Samsung 223 BW 5ms 203€

Im not gonna use it for ET or other FPS since i have got my iiyama master pro 514 but im still undecided...

Should i spend more muniez for the 226 bw ?
Any other difference except the ms ?

I'm using the Samsung 2232BW (2ms, 3000:1) and it is incredibly nice, got the PS3 hooked up to it as well.

the monitors are very similar. but in the long run, i think the 2ms one will be better :)

OfficerCohen 30 May 2008, 21:12
223 you mean, yes?
Parent
▼
DtSje 30 May 2008, 21:24
Nope its 2232bw, its 2ms instead of 5ms, oh and another reason to get one of these monitors is that they look lovely, smooth paino black finish

why do you want to choose between these anyways?
▼
mama 30 May 2008, 21:19

thought those were the best and the price is also okay and they look fine

i d recommend a Samsung SyncMaster 931BW, which is around the same price as the ones you mentioned

dont look @ ms.. at least from my experience

i bought an LG for $250 or w/e 2ms response 20in WS but in et when u go to the etpro - fps setting you can do something that displays the ms and it was actually 8 :< i cant play et in sub 100fps cuz it ghosts rly bad, but my colors are 3000:1 which is nice

LoL, ET can't show you what the response time of a monitor is, what you're talking about is probably the time it takes to draw a frame. Also, you should use 75 fps, not 100.

i use 125 fps :<
Parent

kot 31 May 2008, 00:20
75 is way smoother!
Parent

frozz. 31 May 2008, 00:38
well,i also heard some people have some problems with smoothness at 125fps but i dont have any on this monitor,weird
Parent

i said it starts ghosting below 100 fps, but that only happens on like the goldrush courtyard, its capped at 125 everywhere else.

I have 2232bw, it's a bit better than 226bw, although 226bw looks nicer.But 2232bw is a bit newer so it's slightly better, although I wouldn't bet on samsung monitors, after sometime they started to put shit panels in 2232bw...At the start of production,they were just putting Samsung panels and after they got good reviews they started to put shit in it...just like in any other samsung TN monitor. But all of these TN monitors are the same and have same minuses so u cant go wrong with any of these.

They couldn't keep up with the production of certain panels, so they started using third party ones (226BW). They only use Samsung panels in the 223BW.

Well that's shit, because 226BW is more expensive.
