Although very new in the Philippines, Chi Mei is a big player in Taiwan (#2) and slowly inching as one of the top producers of LCD panels in the world (ranked #3 globally). I’ve seen the LCD TVs being sold in stores but didn’t know they also do LCD monitors. PC Trends sent in a demo unit — a 21.6″ Full HD Chimei LCD monitor.
What Chimei lacked in brand recognition and popularity, it makes up in specs and affordability. The design reminded me of my old Samsung 940BW LCD monitors. If I am not mistaken, Samsung gets its LCD panels from Chi Mei in their TV line-up.
Specs:
Chimei CMV-22QD
21.6″ LCD
Full HD 1920×1080 resolution (1080p)
20,000:1 contrast ratio
5ms response time
300 cd/m² (brightness)
D-Sub + DVI input connector
2 x 1-watt speakers
On top of the list is the huge screen resolution (1920×1080) and the contrast ratio (20,000:1). I currently have two 22″ Samsung LCDs and one only has 3,000:1 while the other has 15,000:1 contrast ratio. The contrast difference is more evident during video playback.
With those specs, big name players would sell a 22″ Full HD LCD monitor between Php15,000 to Php25,000. The Chimei 22QD sells for just Php7,900 to Php8,100 depending on which store you get it. Now that’s really cheap.
Paano po iadjust yung brightness nung monitor? Kanina ko pa ginagawa parang ganun pa din.
tanung ku lang magkano ba po ba yung lcd na chimei na 18′inches na lcd

A trivial question, but I still gotta ask (hehe): So I can use this directly with a PS3 via an HDMI cable, correct? Anyone tried this LCD monitor with a PS3?
And oh crap, I just realized na last year pa pala ang article na ito ahehe.

Your internet site seems actually excellent. Becoming a weblog writer myself, I actually appreciate the time you took in crafting this post.
[...] 22QD Chimei LCD: 22 "Full HD Goodness Of | YugaTech | Philippines … I'm sure this monitor Chi Mei is presenting its dynamic contrast ratio. Color reproduction of 22-inch AOC is bad enough, this is actually better for a much lower price? Any connection to supply Chi Mei Samsung panels for their LCD TV …. Only one advice for those who have not upgraded to LCD and is planning to buy one this year: Do not go for 18 "/ 19" scale, the 22 "will definitely make ends meet for your viewing pleasure and your budget.. ..

chimei user myself. i’m a visual arts pro and i’ve used all kinds of monitors myself, from the Mitsubishi Diamond Pro, Apple Cinema monitors to the Dell Ultrasharps. I find that the Chimeis are superb value for the money. I have a 24 incher at home and it has sharp contrast and is Full HD, has 2 hdmi ports and costs 1/5th of professional monitors but gives respectable performance out of the box and needs little calibration.
Chimei monitors are amazing.
@irwin.
yup pwede. kaso hindi HDMI to HDMI. HDMI to DVI. aun cord lng Full HD na PS3 mo
Using it already.
