Given that I needed to buy a new 19" widescreen LCD that would be good quality (for browsing and movies) for years to come while staying within a rather low budget I was consentrating on two important aspects:
- Colors (8-bit 16.7 million)
- Inputs (VGA & DVI)
So I went hunting for 19" LCDs that met both criteria while not costing too much and came up with the following two monitors (that were for sale in my region)
> Acer AL1916W asd
> LG L194WTX-BF
Both are relatively cheap (below $220 CDN) and have VGA&DVI inputs, the only thing left was to confirm the COLORS. The LG manufactuers web page mentions that it has 16.8 million (I assume this was a typo instead of 16.7) which means (unless I am mistaken) 8-bit color, this prompted me to find all the other 8-bit color 19" widescreen LCDs to do a compare but the only other one I found that had some spec pages listed was the Acer model I mentioned. Now over the past few days I have been looking to confirm both the ACER and LG and have gotten very conflicting responses.
If anyone could maybe confirm that there are infact 8-bit (16.7m) 19" widescreen LCD monitors and I am not wasting my time looking for something that doesn't exist it would be much appreciated. Because there are a lot of 6-bit (16.2m colors) that have both VGA&DVI that are within my price range (my current favorite being the Samsung 941BW) but I don't want to waste $ on a 6-bit if the option for 8-bit is around.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks - hopefully I can get this all resolved to make the best decision when the actual buying occurs...
