Dell SE198WFP or UltraSharp 1908WFP??

[parimal]

which is better one out of both?? In terms of performance and VFM??

[Psychosocial]

Dell ftw .....

[desiibond]

+1 for Dell. It just rocks.

[imgame2]

dell's monitor are best out there...but as far as i know

dell SE198WFP -9700/-
ultrasharp 1908WFP-12800/-

but personally @12~13k i would like to buy a 22" LCD monitor from viewsonic/samsung/AOC..as they are much better option if u are spending 12k.

[parimal]

No..i mean which model to choose from. According to site UltraSharp 1980WFP is HD monitor and SE198WFP is not. Does HD makes any difference??

[Psychosocial]

Dell SE198WFP

[parimal]

why??

[Psychosocial]

Coz its more VFM .

[sagargv]

both monitors arent full HD capable. .their native res is 1440x900 . the advantage of 1908 i see is that it has height adjustability , some extra usb ports etc .. height adjustability is particularly important if u want to see movies sleeping on a couch.search for some reviews for more info.

They are not HD monitors. Minimum resolution for FullHD display is 1920x1080.

agree with sagargv and desibond....


go for dell SE198WTP its good moniter with DVI port.

and regarding writing it as HD is marketing strategy nothing more ...HD requires 1920x1080 ...which comes only with a 24" monitor.so both are almost the same monitor with ultrasharp 1908WFP has USB ports and height adjust ability etc ...which i don't think is worth for 3k more ....

Thanks guys for your replies. I have checked Dell's site....according to it US 1908WFP has HD.
Plz chk it:

I want to ask appart from site it's still a marketing gimmick or it is true HD??

[desiibond]

it's just marketing gimmick. It's HD and not FullHD

parimal check the Indian site it will also show you same info.Dell India Link

Its clearly written High Definition (HD) – Everything looks better in HD.
Mate Even 32 inch LCD TVs which are said to be HD capable are not Full HD LCDs, u can have full HD LCD monitors only with 24 inch
HD has two res prints 720p and 1080p.
So you are right that you can watch HD movies on the Dell 19 inch monitor or say any of the 19 inch monitors but that would be 720p HD not exactly Full HD

Full HD means 1080p which would be a resolution of 24 inch Dell, do not get confused by the words.
Also for HD capable monitors they write High Definition Content Protection (HDCP). Both the monitors are HDCP models

The Dell Ultrasharp model does not even has HDMI port. the only plus is height adjustability

DELL

good choice dtox, but which monitor r u talking about Dell or Viewsonic one.
There are less monitors with 2ms response.

[dtox]

^^its viewsonic..

my dealer is giving it to me for 13k.. AFAIK this is the only 22' model with 2ms response time..

[desiibond]

I would pick Dell/Samsung/HP over Viewsonic. It may have a 2ms response time but I am pretty sure that it will be beated back and forth by the top players.

^^I suggested Dell earlier to him.

keeping dell apart ...since we know they are the best ....how is samsung 2243NWX when compared to HP/LG/AOC or viewsonic models ...???

about viewsonic ...they call themselves number 1 display brand ...i think viewsonic are as good as samsung ..better than LG/HP/AOC ...though dell is best ..no doubt about that...

so personally i think until unless u keep the monitors side by side ....they'll give u more or less give good picture quality...and when viewing alone everyone of them gives pretty decent picture quality.

HP usually very costly 2-3k more than other models available (atleast in my place) ..so its definitely not worth when comes to price performance ratio..

^^its viewsonic..

there is one LG model which also give 2ms GTG

http://www.in.lge.com/Product/Produc...779&subcat=LCD

but its costly ...

make sure u get the version with a DVI port (as on the website its written optional )....since today when even the cheapest graphics card like 8400 GS/GT supports DVI port ...it will not be wise to go for a 22" monitor without a DVI port ...

if u can spend a little more go for dell ...
