Anyone have or seen a Westinghouse monitor?

Franklinwallbrown · Jan 23, 2008

Are they good? Have you seen other monitors and compared them?

I can't even find my Envision 24" 3000:1

I love this thing, the only thing is when the screen is total black the fluorescent light lights up the edges. Other than that the colors are on, no dead pixals, and is very bright.

EDIT: I found one

i had a westinghouse 22" widescreen before this acer, it was brand new, worked for 4 hours and died. stay the hell away.

Westinghouse monitors are not too bad. Certainly not one of the best, but there gets to be a point where it's hard to tell the difference. My friends 20" is pretty good. Colors just seem a little "flat" compared to my viewsonic.

Franklinwallbrown · Jan 23, 2008

Well, you are only one person. & only 8% of the people on Newegg had anything bad to say about it.

Yeah, I just want a great game/movie watching experience.

DaMulta · Jan 23, 2008

I'll can tell you this. It doesn't matter who made what, they send bad stuff out all of the time.

DaMulta · Jan 23, 2008

I do have to say we have a lot of ACER stuff at work. And we love their stuff that they have made in the last year.

I bought my monitor at the store on a closeout sale, but if I ordered one it might be this one.

What about the 2493HM? 10,000:1 contrast ratio!

DaMulta · Jan 23, 2008

Even better but more $$$$

Franklinwallbrown · Jan 23, 2008

How important is the contrast ratio?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrast_ratio

The contrast ratio is a measure of a display system, defined as the ratio of the luminosity of the brightest color (white) to that of the darkest color (black) that the system is capable of producing. A high contrast ratio is a desired aspect of any display, but with the various methods of measurement for a system or its part, remarkably different measured values can sometimes produce similar results.

Franklinwallbrown · Jan 23, 2008

So, very important. It doesn't have the best brightness I've seen, but...that is alright probably, right?

DaMulta · Jan 23, 2008

Probably, I'm not an expert at monitors.

Well, I'm not either, but it sounds really good.
