A series of LCD brands are very popular in Vietnam market such as AOC, Acer, Asus, LG, . are at relatively low prices. The 16-inch model costs only about 1.4-1.7 million dong, and is guaranteed for up to 3 years. With this money, half a year ago, consumers could only buy an old 15-inch LCD monitor, with a warranty of only 1-3 months.

Meanwhile, an old 15-inch LCD now only has about 900,000 dong, with a warranty period of up to one year. In addition, to compete with new goods, the old merchants also offer more choices for customers. If you want a lower price, consumers can get 50,000-80,000 dong off, but instead, the broken screen repair support mode will only have about three months left.

Mr. Nguyen Trong Hieu, a person who sells old LCD monitors at Nguyen Thai Son Street, Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City, said: 'There are quite a few types of LCD with slight bruises with softer prices and stable quality. like other goods '. The 15 inch model is only about VND 600,000-700,000. Type 17-19 inch bracing also does not exceed a million VND / pcs.

Besides, old goods are also rich with many other brands compared to new products such as Dell, Gateway, IBM, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Prius, .

'LCD screen prices have plummeted in the past time because due to the time last year, the main raw materials for this item were the panel (panel) stagnant in many countries ', Ms. Nguyen Thanh Thao, public business department Computer Company, specializing in distributing computer components to the western provinces. But in the coming time, the downward trend of LCD screen prices will certainly no longer be massive but only slightly decrease according to the market trend to produce new products.

According to some people who specialize in this type of product, most of the new LCD screens of Samsung or Sony still have better quality in color, scanning lines, etc. Other types such as Acer, Asus, LG though There is an attractive price but the color and display font often have a break.

Meanwhile, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu, a technician on Gia Phu Street, District 6, said that if he had some experience, consumers could also choose an old LCD that was quite durable and not inferior to new products. , and color, the resolution is also quite high. Accordingly, the old brands often have good quality such as Dell, Gateway, Fujitsu, IBM, NEC . Brands such as Hitachi, Prius . very often error after using time of 1-3 months.

The LCD price is quite soft and has gradually pushed the CRT type (the screen uses a hot burner). According to Nguyen Long, the owner of a computer shop in Tan Binh district said: 'Firms have almost stopped producing this type of monitor.' A few brands still have flat 17-inch models like: Viewsonic, Samsung. Even 15-inch LCD screens are gradually disappearing in the market.

Long also shared, wide-format LCD monitors (which support standard 16: 9 widescreen movies) are gaining popularity among consumers. Firms are also more cautious when producing square types.

The current price of LCD is a good opportunity for consumers to easily 'make life' for themselves, but to choose the product you want to try through color modes and resolutions. Good display text at different resolutions shows the product's stable quality. In addition, the black scale is also a way for you to evaluate the LCD screen quality. You should choose to buy products that are as black as honest, bold and undiluted colors.

' With old products, in addition to brand-based evaluation, the initial inspection stage is very important, because many people take advantage of cheap prices to be able to bypass customers who do not know much about technology ', Mr. Vo Van Hau, a technician in Thu Duc confirmed.

We can test the common errors of the LCD screen by changing the monochrome desktop screen: blue, green, white, black. Errors such as bruises, streaks, dead spots will easily reveal under these colors.

The greater the number of streaks and dead spots, the longer the life of this product is. According to Mr. Hau, a quality LCD screen has no more than three dead spots. In addition, bruising only helps buyers not to be " rotten" , because these types of LCDs are usually priced lower than defective ones, and do not affect the durability of the product. Some mild bruises are difficult to see and are likely to disappear after a period of use.
