Hi guys,
Read this month's digit reviews on monitors. It's very sad that they left out many hot selling models on their review list - without which we'll never be able to know whether the reviewed monitors are better than the current hot sellers, UNLESS any one of you have seen any one of the monitor reviewed in this month's DIGIT!
SO that it'd be easy to compare with others . . .

Like for ex: if you've seen AOC F22 and if u say E2200HD is better than F22, then one can conclude that 2233SW is definitely better than F22 (assuming that 2233SW is better than E2200HD)...

Okay, here's my query:

AOC F22 or AOC 2236VW or E2200HD or 2233SW or S2209W???

AND

AOC 2230 FM or 2209WA or anyother??? (ya, i know 2209wa FTW, but still)

AND

AOC 2434PW or S2409W or E2400HD or G2410(dell)???

2209WA or 2408WFP from Dell. Both are subject to availability. Do check local shops. They are not available online or on phone!

@Psychosocial: Mate, have u seen these monitors(F22 and E2200HD) personally? If so, can you make a comparison with any of the below monitors???

Other than SP2208WFP(Vista/7), 2209WA(Vista/7), 2408WFP(Vista) - the only other monitors that i've seen are AL1916W, AL2216W, X193HQ.


So any comparison with the above mentioned models will be really appreciated.

P.S:

Among these X193HQ (XP) is better than AL1916w (XP) & AL2216W (XP) (Ya, may be because its glossy).

But SP2208WFP seemed to be better than AL2216W & AL1916W (Is it because, I saw these monitors in the XP operating system??? Cause i feel Windows AERO plays a critical factor in the looks of a monitor. The shiny taskbars is far better than the pixelated single color XP's taskbar, IMHO)

At first I didn't notice any HUGE difference (excluding viewing angles) b/w SP2208WFP and 2209WA/2408WFP - but later when I started seein them frequently - SP2208WFP had POOOOR blacks and whites. The 2209WA/2408WFP rocks in blacks and white - very helpful while watching movies. Also the backlight bleed is poor in SP2208WFP!

2209WA is good it seems, at least according to this good editorial -> HERE.

One forum member had bought the AOC F22 i remember. desiibond(i think) had also commented upon the fact that its stand looked indecent. ;) Try checking the post your latest purchase thread. It may be somewhere there(older posts).

Thanks for that link mate.
It seems, static_x has compared all the above mentioned models and settled with F22. Which means - F22> 2233sw & E2200HD - astonishing!
I've requested him to participate in this thread - lets see . . .
