    Recommendations for a 22-24" LCD IPS monitor

    What would people recommend for a new 22-24" LCD IPS monitor?

    My Samsung 226BW is acting up again, the backlight changes from bright to dim once in a while. It was recapped last year and I guess a CCFL tube is going. Kinda tired of repairing it. I've had many CRT monitors outlast this thing.

    LG does not have schematics for a lot of their stuff, so I'm not warm there.
    Dell, ASUS, BenQ...

    Just looking for suggestions.

    I picked up a 226BW sometime last year and recapped it to get it working.

    I love its colors and screen. It is definitely my favourite monitor that I have repaired.

    Your problem with the ccfl could just be a potentially simple re-solder the ends fix?

      I love the 226BW too, it has a better pic than the newer LED Dell's at work, but it is annoying. When I saw the inverter IC heatsink is deliberately installed in the wrong place, I knew Samsung is all about the 2-3 year lifespan.
      It is still intermittent an I will run it until it stays failed, and then troubleshoot.

        Some of the 24" HP monitors are Samsung made so don't rule them out, either.

        Are you using it for gaming or professional or both?

          Fingers crossed, my 226BW is still working, no recap?
