i guess not... the journal was deleted by ronner because he didnt see a reason for the [dutch allowed] even tho the monitor specs were all in dutch...

google is your friend, you can find the same specs in english as well. plus you'd have a higher change of getting more advice if you just post in english.

there is no such thing as [dutch allowed].

A journal is either in a certain language if there is a need to do that in that language, or it is in english.

i have that one at work, and i like it, but its too small imo.
so i think 22" will do just fine.

I wouldn't recommend a samsung nowadays. Best atm are (imo) the LG l227wt and the hp w2207h.

Syncmaster 226CW is one big fail.

I've got the 2232BW and its pretty nice, also for gaming. ( Its basically the same panel as the 226BW )

I shouldnt go for the 226cw if I were you, read alot of really bad reviews about it, youd better go for the older 226BW or like you suggested the 2232BW.

edit: Only minus about the 2232BW is that I had to change some of the monitor settings in order to make it watchable ( eg lower the brightness etc ), but thats the same with the 226 CW.

atemi 4 Jun 2008, 18:49

www.azerty.nl ( stuurt ook naar BE , pixelgarantie voor 10 euro ) Daar is ie btw goedkoopst van NL
Parent

jetro 4 Jun 2008, 20:46
zou op 268,99 komen met pixelgarantie van 10 EUR & 15 EUR verzendingskosten

bij alternate.be is het 280 EUR zonder pixelgarantie :L

hoe werkt die pixelgarantie juist... hoe lang geldt da?

atemi 4 Jun 2008, 21:17
Mja ligt eraan of je het boeit als je een pixel hebt. Ik vind het fucking irritant in igg.
