w1953s-pf

Yes, it is an LCD monitor that has reasonable price with low consumption energy and also for me has an elegant design. It has some differents with 1953T, such as connection port, W1953S-PF only with analog-RGB connection that I think LG can cut the price just for only est. USD 125 now. For response time, W1953S-PF is set to 5 ms, while w1953T has 2 ms, this is the main factor that can drop the price of W1953S below W1953T. For W1953S, it is 18.5″ and W1953T is 19″.

This LCD has a touch sensor menu, this feature can make your friend to be jealous that with the price about USD 125, it brings beautiful design and feature. Also with contrast ratio of 50000:1 (DFC), it also brings nice color to your desktop. It also has a SMART function and FUN, it has an auto-bright feature that can measure and set the brightness depend of your room environment.

I’ve bought this about 1 month ago and what disappoint me are the connector available is just only analog-RGB port. Well, I just want LCD like this has a DVI port. Beware of the accessories they give to you. Check the warranty card and also the ’sticker’. This sticker is needed to be placed with the card and has the serial number if your LCD. For the first time I buy an LCD, I don’t know a thing about sticker that is needed to replacement warranty. I didn’t find any sticker when I was checking the box. Unfortunately, when I was checking the LCD at home, I found a dead pixel. How come at the store I couldn’t find it? Always check the sticker if you are planning to buy this LCD.

Well well, but at last, I can replace it, but without the sticker, the process is very frustrating me. I have to talk to the distributor itself and their superior of course. Just for info, they will replace the LCD that has dead pixel for 3 months only without any requirement of dead pixel count. I have only 1 dead pixel and they replace my panel.

Conclusion, this LCD is nice and has great feature for the price. With only 22 watt output max brings you an energy-saving monitor and money-saving monitor. 3 months zero dead pixel warranty is also good one, but if you want to replace it with more than 3 months usage, I’m afraid it will use ISO policy or their policy with dead pixel problem. My friend talk to the distributor itself and says that if your LCD has 1 or more dead pixel, before 3 months, they will replace it.

First of all, you need to know first, is it necessary to buy computer like this? With feature like this, am I using it? And of course, how much costs I have to spend on my computer? After you’ve answered these questions, the next step is, you have to know the components inside your “dream machine” are good before you take it home. So, these are some tips from me for multimedia and home computer with limited budget:

1. Processor, I recommend Intel E2000 series for home and E7000/E8000 series for multimedia user. E2000 series are dual-core technology with 65 nm architecture processors and E7000/E8000 series are core 2 duo processors with 45 nm architecture. E2000 series are about 60-80 USD, E7000 at 100-120 USD, and E8000 series I recommend E8400 with 3.0 Ghz, 1333 Mhz FSB, 6MB L2Cache at 168 USD.
2. RAM, 1 GB system memory is standard now, for home and office this will be enough, and it is cost about 18 USD, for multimedia user, 2 GB with 1 slot is cheaper than 2×1 GB in dual-channel. Don’t push your budget to buy dual-channel, you can buy 2 GB more later, so you have advantage if you buy 1 dimm RAM with 2 GB memory, because you can save to get more.
3. Motherboard/ Mainboard, choose a motherboard with Intel chipset G945 or G31-ICH7 for home use, it has on-board audio and  on-board graphic, so for home/ office, there are no problem to use on-board VGA and with just 60-70 USD it’s very good deal, and for multimedia user I recommend G43-ICH10, with PCIeX x16 2.0, gigabit LAN, onboard VGA Intel X4500HD, onboard 8 channel audio, RAM support up to 8 GB or more with dual-channel support, SATA ports and for some manufacturer, it has firewire port included, however these mainboard are 150 USD below, even 80 USD is available.
4. Graphic Card, for home/ office, onboard is OK, and if you want to buy a new graphic card, buy a mainstream card, like ATI HD4600 series or NVidia 9600 series, it muts be below 100 USD, even below 80 USD.
5. HDD Drive, buy with 320 GB or 250 GB capacity, with 57 USD. It’s better than you buy 80 GB for 40-45 USD. 320 GB has a future prospect, LOL.
6. Monitor, people say LCD is more energy saving, that’s true, but you must know the ‘Terms of Service’, with same diagonal size, LCD is better, the wider the screen, more watt are used, be careful.

If you buy this system, it’s just take no more than 200 watt, even below 100 in idle. But you don’t have to buy this system, if you have more favorable and cheapest system, you better follow yourself, because many people get disappointed because they don’t get what they want. So, if you want to buy higher system than this, I am telling you now, save your money for that, before you crying out loud.
