gazal Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Been thinking about either buying a viewsonic 28" LCD which retails around $700-800 while the Samsung 30" retails for $1800-2000. Anyone has one or recommend of one? i current have a samsung 22". LCD made by samsung is pretty good, clear and sharp not 100% sure about viewsonic Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225526-28-lcd-or-30-lcd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
R34NRG Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 if u can afford it go with the samsung. its obviously the better pick but obviously you gotta ask yourself wat ur using it for and if the extra $$$ justifies it. and wat you want it to do.

Charles89 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 My mate has a viewsonic and I think it is still a pretty good lcd screen, even though it might not be better than samsung, but I'd settle for one of those, considering the price difference.

gazal Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm leaning toward the viewsonic there's not a huge size difference 2" but with a huge price difference. Its mainly for design so the bigger the screen the better as there's more room for my colour pallets tools etc. What's the clarity of the viewsonic screen like? it is sharp and bright?

evade Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 what are you using it for? a monitor or a TV? I bought one of those 28" viewsonics for ~7xx and it was pretty good..would make an good monitor..it is damn bright..the white is really good. however..as a TV..it has no remote..and you need a tuner....plus it started making this buzzing noise so I returned it less than a week later. decided I will save money and get a proper plasma/lcd... the other thing is that its an older 6bit LCD screen, and it doesnt have a terribly great viewing angle (again not a huge issue if you use it as a monitor) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225526-28-lcd-or-30-lcd/#findComment-3972588 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mainly for design so the bigger the screen the better as there's more room for my colour pallets tools etc.What's the clarity of the viewsonic screen like? it is sharp and bright? I'd say the quality of the display from a viewsonic is pretty much the same as most of the "known brands". Oh, and I managed to do all my design work on my 17'' Phillips LCD Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/225526-28-lcd-or-30-lcd/#findComment-3972675 Share on other sites More sharing options...
