Hi All,

Anyone have a favorite 19-22" monitor that takes
hdmi and has speakers you can actually hear?
Long warranty would be nice too.

Many thanks,

Yes the monitor call a HD-TV

Hi Hot-Text,

The nVidia cards come with an HDMI connector and
build in sound. (The drivers get mixed up with
the sound cards drivers and makes for an "interesting"
time.)

Saves me a bunch of cords and a PCIe slot on mother-
boards without sound.

I have been looking at the NEC EA231WMI-BK.
Any thoughts?

Response is 14 milliseconds, consistent with the
observation it uses an IPS panel.

That means, it will have great viewing angle, good color
accuracy if you do Photoshop (and especially if you
are good at calibrating monitors). The 1000:1
contrast ratio, means the monitor is less likely
to use dynamic contrast, which ruins Photoshop-related
calibration. So it probably doesn't have a "movie mode"
where it screws with the backlight level. I saw a monitor
a few days ago, with a 20,000,000:1 ratio, which is a
pretty extreme movie mode :-) A dark night would be
really really dark.

The only weakness would be when gaming. Will a 14 millisecond
gtg cause "trails" on the screen when playing 3D games ?
That's the only thing that would hold me back.

Speakers inside monitors are almost never fit for human
consumption, and they'll just be a useless blob you have
to look at for the next six years or so.

The speakers are in the "boxes" on either end, near the bottom.

If you run this through translate.google.com and translate
from the German, it's a pretty long review article.

What do you think of this one?

Will it keep up with a computer? Will the text be too small
for an old guy (1080p)?

What is that 1080 x 900?

Will 3D games make worse trails than 2D ones?

your 14-year-old daughter otherwise you're not doing your job as a father. -

I don't know about you, but I've been distracted by
the trails when playing Solitaire :-) Damn that slow
screen... :-)

Someone here has a comment on his IPS panel

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/display-units/42016-lcd-ips-led-ips.html

"As for gaming however, many claimed that IPS has slower response time
compared to a TN panel at which the specs can show but I play games
with my IPS panel and hardly notice any ghosting or I am just too
busy playing to realize any defects."

At one time, IPS was pretty slow, and a few gamers weren't that
happy with them. As long as the customer reviews are good,
I'd take that over the half-baked specs as a means to judge
them.
