Samsung SyncMaster BX2450 24"

I just bought myself a small birthday present -

Samsung SyncMaster BX2450 24"

I will let you know how it performs in Bad Company 2 :up:

says lcd ....led backlight....thought it was one or the other?

No LED (Light Emitting Diode) refers to the backlighting and LCD (Liquid Crystal Dispaly) refers to the actual display technology :up:

I see.....is it any good then? .....What monitor were you using before?

I was using a Samsung 22" LCD (tube backlight) had been on permanently for about 3 or 4 years then one day i turned it off (big mistake) and when I restarted it kinda flickered to life eventually - like a tube light lol
Did well though lol, a Viewsonic I had before lasted 6 months.
The LED means that the power consumption goes down from about 45 watts to 25 watts.
I have a Samsung LED TV in my bedroom and that is awesome.
I'll soon see how good it is when I do side by side comparison to my NECs as the picture on those is stunning (S-IPS).
See if it deserves to be plugged into a new GTX 580 :D

I have been thoroughly impressed with this panel, great colour, loads of options to play with and nice and bright :up:
Text looks great as does bc2 :D
The panel itself looks fantastic, and performs very well, so much so I prefer it to my more expensive S-IPS NEC displays.

Personally I would have gone for the BenQ XL2410T. 120Hz really makes the picture twice as fluid.

Styling wise it doesn't look as good though.

My other Samsung SyncMaster 226BW that I have been using in my bedroom is on the way out so I'm going to order one of these..

Samsung SyncMaster BX2350 23" Widescreen 1920 x 1080

Only slightly smaller than the one I have but alot cheaper :D and will still be a small upgrade over the 22" :up:

I have just ordered a 23" version for my bedroom :up:
I will let you know what it is like :)

oh i see u edited my post i see u whor*

yeah lol - your sig is massive :p

Dam - No Stock till the 10th :(
Nothing is in stock :(

Just got an email saying not available till the 12th :(
I should be ok, as long as I don't turn this one off lol

Yay, just got a despatch note for my 23" one :D
Once that gets here tomorrow I'll just be waiting on my Asus GTX 580 :up:
It will be nice to see the 24 and 23" ones together as the 24" one is £70 - £80 more expensive than the 23".
I'll add some pics to the "Post Your Workstation" thread when I get it.

Awesome, £180 for 23" version and it looks superb.
I have it running on my EVGA 8800GTS 640MB "Superclocked" colour looks much better on here than the 24" on the ATI HD 4870X2 - I can't wait to get the GTX 580 here and installed :D
I had a quick go on BC2 at 1920x1080 that also looks awesome :up:
Bright, crisp exellent :)

As I suspected the dodgy colours came from ATI's colour profile - Come on ATI calibrate your colour properly :S
The 24" with the GTX 580 looks awesome.
