Could someone please give me some advice? I've been racking my brains looking through danawa and reading reviews (In korean...not easy) and trying to choose the best bang for my buck. I want to buy a 22" but THERE ARE SO MANY BRANDS.

Standard panels are TN-panels: 5ms/1000:1/300lum. Almost every manufacturer has these specs. However, the price fluctuates from 235K-600K Won.

Is there any difference? Aren't all panels made by only 2 manufacturers? I really want to buy a cheaper model if I can...about 275K with pivot. Here are the 22" brands I've narrowed it down to:

LCDMon Expersee 22"
Alphascan 22" (little lower at 800:1 contrast but 2year warranty)
Topsync 22"

Can anyone recommend these brands or another brand? Or maybe just give me some advice...this is killing me. Thanks.

I'm getting this one as the price is good, specs pretty good and it was recommended by another poster here who checked out the different generic brands pretty well and chose this...

Lumion SkyOcean 22' 220 1W

Yea, that's the one I got about a month ago. The price is great, and I have been very happy with it.

Thanks for the input guys. Looks nice with TV, too! good price. The website looks ok...no pivot, though...and its not on Danawa...strange.

Anyone bought an LCDmon? Looks nice and seems to have good reviews from the Koreans and selling for about 273K

Here's a link:

Cheers.

Actually I found the Lumion 2201WT on Danawa and its selling for 380K!!! I wonder why it is only 278K on Gmarket link? The model on Gmarket is 2201WT-D...could that D mean something? Maybe Refurb?

Cheers.

The prices must be wacky as the tv one is listed as cheaper then the one w/out, (should be more expensive, shouldn't it?)...guess you should call if you want the actual price.

What's the deal w/ the "Plus" model for 30,000 more? Looks the same to me.

From what I've seen, "Plus" usually refers to a Samsung panel rather than an LG one.

ok, maybe to open up this discussion a little bit...anyone have any experience with the cheaper brands at smaller sizes like 20", 19", or 17"?

Anyone know if there is any diff between the LG Panels and the "Premium" Samsung "A+" Panels...if they both have a pixel guarentee? I'm asking because some of the newer models are touting the Samsung panels. They all have the same specs as you can see in my original post.

Cheers.

I assume you checked the date of the ad link? Danawa keeps really old ads on there. From '05 even!! That might be why the price is so high on there.
