Indecisive about LCDs
 

I'm thinking about getting an LCD after my 21" CRT crapped out on me. The thing is I've never had any real experience with one but I did read up on it and have narrowed it down to pretty much two LCDs.

Samsung 915N

Hyundai L90D+

Also looking at the Samsung 930B, seems to be a newer 915

Both seem basically the same with only a few variations like viewing angles, panel type, and display colors. But I wasn't really sure which to go for since the Hyundai one seems to get better reviews by customers online but they also say its pretty much a typical Hyundai product, not nessecarily the best quality.

I'm not really sure about this but can anyone clarify if I would be able to use any of these monitors with two different inputs? I have one computer that I would like to use DVI on since the visual quality is much better but the other PC that I was to use it with (KVM switch) doesn't have a DVI port. The KVM also only uses VGA so I would have to convert DVI to VGA if I couldn't.

Thanks

I've used Samsung gear at work and have no complaints about it. The styling is nice and the build quality is good.

I didn't realise Hyundai made monitors - I've only ever seen their cars!

I've seen Samsung monitors next to LG and Iiyama, and have to say that Samsung generally had the best picture quality. I don't know how they compare to Hyundai, though.

I had some bad experience with dead pixels; I used to work in a shop selling Samsung TFTs for the first time, and 50% of the shipment had dead pixels. The spokesman claimed it was bad luck, and I believe him. But I would encourage to check for dead pixel policies; you never know when you need it.

As for the VGA/DVI question: All TFTs I've seen so far had either VGA or VGA *and* DVI. I doubt these particular TFTs would be different.

I've never used Hyundi, but Samsung has been pretty good to me.
