I can't decide which monitor to get!

[nitenichiryu1]

I do a lot of gaming with my computer, but at the same time I also watch movies, use office, edit photos, and do very little video recording/editing.

For the price range and the performance, I had my eye on both the Samsung 940B and the Viewsonic VX922. From what i've read, the samsung will be better "overall", but the VX922's 2ms time is just so tempting.

I will glady accept your opinions, even if they are both garbage and you have a better suggestion =).

Thanks!

hmm...flip a coin? both are good...

edit: what's your price range?

 

[nitenichiryu1]

Hehe my friend said the same exact thing. well price range is anywhere from 250 to 350, really. I wish one was just way better than the other so I could just choose =/

I've had better experiences with Samsung products in general so I'd just go for the 940B. If you game a lot and response time was super-important, the VX922 would be my choice. The 940B however should still be very fast. The ViewSonic may well have more vibrant colors (or the other way around), but I prefer the interface/software/brand of Samsung. That's just me...

I can agree with you on that, xtknight. I should be getting to a decision sometime later today...leaning towards the samsung for more of its overall performance in all areas...

If you happen to have an HDTV tuner box, the Samsung is much more likely to be able to hook up to it. My VP930b simply refuses to at higher than 480p, while the Samsung was able to hook up at 720 or 1080 even, scaling when necessary. Plus, gamma controls on the Samsung monitor I've used (710t) have been much better than the Viewsonic (VP930b). Hopefully that pushes you in one direction, but if you don't use an HDTV tuner you probably don't care (unless you have other devices that hook up via VGA/DVI that may have a problem). Samsung has MagicTune that works quite well (software interface to LCD allowing brightness adjustment), while ViewSonic's PerfectSuite program simply freezes my PC (and other peoples' with newer Radeon/GeForce graphics cards). But the VX922 will be faster for gaming.
