Comex show 2011 purchases Part 1/2

It has been some time since I am considering to upgrade my monitor to a full HD monitor (1920x1080). Also, I had read up on panel type that is used on LCD screen. Basically, it is TN and IPS panel. TN is more mainstream while IPS is used more for photography works.

There is some difference in the colour but I am not a expert on this. It can be read up on the web between the advantages and disadvantages. Since my old Samsung monitor is a TN panel (about 3-4 years ago), I decided it is time to get a better monitor and a different panel. So a IPS panel for me this time and also FULL HD!! More details and richer colour perhaps!! By the way, the screen is matt which is the one I prefer over glossy type.  

Seems reasonable enough for me with a monitor + freebies. Actually the freebies doesn't interest me since it is nothing special. The choices available are a LG mobile phone or Capsule speakers or a bluetooth. HDMI cable will be included for whichever gifts you choose, but you can opt for without freebies and the monitor will cost 30 bucks less (278-30=248 SGD).

However, there is another special gift that is not on the brochure, you can opt for a Canon Pixma printer which I feel is more worthwhile compared to 30 bucks discount or the original free gifts. So here is the monitor plus the printer.

Mini review: The colour reproduction seems to be overall much richer compared to TN panel.
