I have a feeling that this thread is going to grow as big, if not similar, to the size of the 2005fpw review.

Anyways, cool monitor, but the buttons seem to be very hard to press. I still like the design of the 2005fpw more, but I sure like the integrated speakers.

Damn nice monitor, playing games at that native resolution will kill any PC unless you have a 7800 or X1800.

CoD 2 just played nice and smooth. Admittedly with the gfx turned down but it still looked nice.

Hey, where did that review gone?

[Chanser]

He didn't like the attitude of the forums apparently.

Once it's on the internet, you can never go back!

This is my first review on Neowin, please go easy one me.

Since my 3 year old Sony 17" LCD died, I decided to buy this. This LCD is only currently available within Europe.

I managed to get a good deal and at a total cost of: ?339.46

Belinea have long been known as a provider of budget TFT models, and have had little impact in the mainstream enthusiast market. However, the new 102035W is the first screen on the market to use AU Optronics' 8ms G2G response time, 20.1" Widescreen, P-MVA panel (M201EW01 V0). This is the larger version of the already infamous 8ms P-MVA panel used in the 19" market in such models as the Viewsonic VP191B, Xerox XA7-192i and Dell 1905FP. The larger 20" WS version was eagerly anticipated and Belinea have managed to provide it to the public first.

The panel is essentially a larger panel matrix version of the 19" M190EN03 V0, and offers an 8ms response time achieved through the use of AU Optronics' well controlled overdrive technology. This is the first panel in the 20" market to really offer a low response time, and this makes the screen suited well for gaming if you want to reach outside the 17" and 19" market. Combine this with good colour reproduction, smooth movie playback and truly wide viewing angles (thanks to the P-MVA panel technology) and you have the makings of an excellent screen.

Overall, this is an excellent screen for the price. It has a better panel than the Dell 2005fpw, but also at a cheaper price. The built in speakers are useful if you want to take the LCD to a presentation, etc and don't have any speakers available and just want to play a few powerpoint presentations etc. Albeit, to a small audience, since the speakers are only 2W.

That's all folks! Thanks for reading.

[JohnMarsten]

ummm, theres a porno picture in the middle :huh:

hahaha, he probably uploaded a picture from his pr0n folder by accident .. otherwise nice review

[Chanser]

I don't see it, just monitor pictures here. :blink:

[AltecXP]

LMAO

[Chanser]

Now I see it :D, just had to proper refresh! :D

If I buy that monitor does it come with that nice nude lady with the skipping rope? :p

[ProtoPunch]

I was wondering the same thing but ROFL I see the pic now too

And to think I was squinting at the monitor to see if it was in the actual lcd screen or something.

I'm gonna report it so someone can edit that one picture out. Pretty funny though :p

[AJerman]

No Nakeys here! :o

Sounds like a nice monitor though. I'm looking to get rid of this 19" CRT and upgrade to a nice LCD screen sometime soon, so I'll have to keep these kind of things in mind. I am thinking about the 2405FPW though because I'd like to get a monitor that will be big enough for 1080p and just watch my movies and TV on there with MCE. We'll see though.

Edit: Maybe the image host was dead, because the pictures just came in and... *gasp* well now, we certainly can't have that can we?!

rofl. interesting "bug"

[canadian397]

:rofl: great bug :p

[lloydo]

Hmm, wonder what the response time on that baby is?

Nice wide viewing angle anyway.

:whistle:

[vancity001]

Lol definitely not work safe. The funny thing is, i skipped right by it until the next post pointed it out.

[Bobster]

Wow that monitor looks amazing! I'm definatly getting this when my TFT monitor decides to go down the drain.

[JGLM]

Hello i am about to buy a new LCD. I see the samsung 970P, but after this review i think i changed my mind. There are at the same price here.

Damn nice monitor, playing games at that native resolution will kill any PC unless you have a 7800 or X1800.

that's not true, HL2 runs perfectly smooth on it at full settings with aa and af on a 6800GT as well as oblivion with highers ettings minus af and aa (not really needed at such a res anyway though heh)
