Viewsonic VP201B VS Samsung 204t?

[shootgun1]

Hello folks.

I got stuck between buying eighter Viewsonic VP201B or Samsung 204T. It would be wonderful if you guys could point out good and bad parts of those monitors. WHich one should i choose? If you think that both of them are not good enough to play games please point out another monitor.


I will use my screen for mainly text editing (Need sharp text quality) but I play games like Quake 3, DOOM3 or CS (no shadows or anything anything else).

On the other hand can i connect XBOX 360 to these LCD monitors and play games without any problem?
Thank you so much for your reviews.

I have the VP201S, and I quite like it. I haven't seen the samsung yet though.

I have the samsung and I am very happy with it. I do photo editing and not much gaming.

Have you considered the Dell 2005FPW?

If you're doing anything that requires smooth motion, stay away from the 204t. I tried a few of them and they all did the same thing, whether under Windows, Linux, Mac OS, DVI and VGA, 60 and 75hz. This was a peculiar "skipping" when an attempt is made to synchronize to the vertical blank interval. As a result, any vsync'd motion will make sporadic jumps, as if to catch up with the video output. This is a particularly nasty issue that makes me wonder how this monitor ended up on shelves.

I might check out the vp201 soon personally and see how well it does.

According to Anand, the VP201 is essentially the same as the Dell 2001FP.
