24 Inches LED Monitors High Definition

2 Best Choices 

LG W2486L-PF 24'' LED PIANO BLACK

SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER BX2431 LED BLACK

Why?

Their screen is LED, which means better quality in colors and brightness. The most important though is low power consumption. This 2  monitors consume no more than 28 Watts.

Their both 24 Inches, the response time is 2ms and their resolution is 1920 x 1080. I highlighted with red the vertical resolution to point out that is FULL HD. Their are plenty of monitors that are 1050, be careful with that. You can't change the resolution of LCD monitors and expect to be ok, is fixed. That's the only downside.


24 Inches Screen is pretty big, for me that I use photoshop it's also 1 of the best choice for size. Some will say is not too big. Spending too many hours on a screen is not good for the eyes so I will stick with 24, I wont buy bigger than that.

My choice is the LG, I tried to get one but is out of stock for now. I own a 22 inch LG and I' m happy with it. If I don't manage to buy the LG I will get the Samsung.


Both are great.

3 New superzoom compact cameras by Nikon

P500, S9100 and L120

 

Firstly L120 is out of my list, why? it needs 4 x AA batteries.  

It doesn't use Rechargeable Li-ion Battery.

 

Now for the remaining P500 and S9100

 Both Share the following:   

• 1/2.3" Type CMOS
• 12.1 million effective pixels

1080p HD movies with stereo sound

ISO sensitivity 160 - 3200

LCD monitor • 3.0 inch tilting LCD
• 920,000 dots
• Wide viewing angle TFT LCD monitor with anti-reflection coating
• 5 level brightness adjustment


Storage • SD/SDHC/SDXC

Connectivity • USB 2.0 Hi-Speed
• AV out (PAL / NTSC switchable)

Now main differences:

Even thought P500 has bigger zoom lens it's wider than S9100 and faster.
(35mm equiv) P500 22.5-810mm, S9100 25-450mm
P500 F3.4-5.7, S9100 F3.5-5.9

Minimum focus S9100 has the edge:

S9100 in Telephoto is Approx. 5 ft  (1.5 m) to infinity

P500 in Telephoto is Approx. 7 ft 3 in (2.2m) to infinity

 

In Macro Mode thought S9100 is better: 

S9100 Approx. 1.6 in (4 cm) to infinity (wide-angle position)

P500  Approx. 4 in. (10 cm) to infinity (wide-angle position)

 

S9100 can last longer:

S9100 Still pictures: Approx. 271 shots

P500 Still pictures: Approx. 220 shots 

 

I choose the P500 cause of it's bigger zoom lens and also wider. This cameras are superzoom so i wont bother about their macro capabilities.
