Samsung PLS 21.5" LS22E390HS/XY 4ms1920x1080 D-SUB HDMI LED Backlight LCD Monitor - $139 @ MSY

290

MSY's weekend specials (more specials on site but this was what I was looking for).
Was looking around for a half decent monitor and this was the cheapest by far.
Harvey Norman's price seems to be $258 and Dick Smith's closing down sale 25% off was around $220.

      There's a linustechtips video where they showed you can quite easily use a rough sandpaper to change the texture of the finish and make it more matte if you please. For $139 if the only downside is gloss finish it's worth a shot, worst case it'll be a scratchy sort of finish rather than even matte.

  • Is this mountable?

    • That's the real question.

        Yup, pretty hard to argue with that question mark on the end…

    • Most Samsungs are not. That's why I'm waiting for a deal on LG

    • sorry been out.
      The quick setup guide does have instructions on how to install a wall mount kit so im assuming so.

  • I'd think a BenQ AMVA monitor would offer a competitive option to this.

  • Standard price was (and elsewhere is) $168 - not $250+, still decent deal though.

  • What's the general consensus on the quality of this monitor in its price range?

    These are really good monitors. PLS is the equivalent of an IPS display, so colours, viewing angles will be much better than most other monitors in this price range.

  • so tempted to buy

  • Thought this would be a typical price for such a monitor.

  • PLS is basically Samsung own IPS which has been around for ages, but may not sound much familiar to average consumers. Technically PLS is better than IPS, but I reckon the difference is insignificant. They have VA panels which are shared with Sony.

    Nevertheless this is a good buy for someone looking for an IPS monitor
