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.
or pwede ba na lcd monitor then saksak ko yung sa cable?.. sorry no idea about this techie thing pero gusto ko sana buy because of good reviews.
wala po ba silang lcd tv? kasi i’m more into tv and plans to plug the cable also…
parang gusto ko na din to ah. planning to buy 22″ lcd din. Quezon city area. parang “chimay” nga lang yung basa ng brand. haha. lagyan ko na lang cguro sticker. hehe
PC HUB IS THE NEAREST AND AFFORDABLE PLACE TO BUY A LCD MONITOR LIKE CHIMEI…I SAW IT WHEN I LOOK FOR A LCD MONITOR…LOCATION IN GILMORE QUEZON CITY.
bibili ako nito hehe
gamit ko ngaun Chimei 22QD planning to have another 1 with the TV tuner in replacement for my 21″ 110watts Sharp TV.
hehehehe….
actually there’s no problem with the brand name as long as the product is really competitive. But the problem is natatak na sa isipan natin na kapag parang china made e mahinang klase.
Nakabili ako kaya lng nagtawanan sa bahay ng parang natunog daw “Chimay” ang brand name.
hehehehe.
@Jay – Yep, they still have one in their showroom. They’ll probably never run out of stock as they always put supply ahead of demand.
@Ruel – Sorry, I don’t know the exact location of the Laguna Branch. You can always call their customer lines.
Does it have displayport?
