everythingWasBees posted:What's a good price for the U2312HM? There's some on Amazon for 248, but if I could get it for cheaper I'd be willing to wait. It used to be available for $200 or less all the time (I think I paid $180 + tax for mine from Micro Center), but It's been replaced by the UZ2315H and U2414H (which is 1080p at 24" rather than WUXGA of the U2412M), so probably not going to be on sale terribly often going forward. The U2414H can probably be found at around the $250 mark if you wait for a sale though. GokieKS fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Aug 31, 2014 |

What do you guys think about the U2913WM? is 29 inches too large for 1080 vertical resolution? I haven't been able to find it locally to look at it myself.

It's not 1080p though, it's 2560 x 1080. I really like the idea of ultra wides but I definitely need to see it in a store before ordering it and the Dell store here is terrible so will probably have to wait until the next time I'm in the US

So what's the deal with refresh rate overclocking? It's not in the OP. Is it something most IPS models support or is it just a few? Basically I'm looking for a 27 inch IPS panel. I've used a U2412M for a long time and am very happy with it, and I understand the U2711 is basically the bigger version of that. However TFT central says the response time is significantly worse than it is on the 2412 (~30ms vs ~9ms). Those aren't the manufacturer numbers, those are the numbers they tested, right? Is that a noticeable problem for games? More importantly, are there other 27 inch IPS panels available that are better on that front, or does it just come with the territory? icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Sep 1, 2014 |

The 2713HM is the bigger version of the 2412M. The 2711 is a 10-bit panel that does full adobe RGB and is a bit slower, it's the bigger version of the 2410.

That still looks like it has significantly worse lag though. Are there any 27 inch IPS models that have less than 16ms input lag?

Only 1080p though. http://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-VX2...wsonic+vx2739wm 16ms input lag is still only ~1.5 frames. If you're not a professional gamer, it just won't matter.

Okay, how about the Asus PB278Q? It appears to be a U2713HM with better input lag. Can anyone with experience here see any problems? If not I think that's pretty much what I'll go with

Also for consideration: The ASUS PB278Q (~16ms). There are probably others out there that perform similarly, but those two are top options--the QNix for its stupid low price and OC ability, and the ASUS for its solid QA, features, and all around good price:performance ratio.

Only the single input versions of those Korean panels have low input lag. The multi-input versions have higher input lag than the single inputs. edit: You may also want to check out this thread and the linked reviews/recommendations.

Delta-Wye posted:That is tempting as fuuuuuck. Just be aware that the stand absolutely sucks, so factor in $20 or so to get a replacement HP VESA stand like this one. Also, to actually attach said stand, you need to crack open the case to remove the old one. Not a big deal, really, but some people are very averse to futzing with their monitors. I went one better and entirely removed the plastic frame, leaving just the metal inner frame, and painted it matte black. Fits right in with my ASUS and Dell monitors, and looks fantastic. Despite needing a little TLC to get it to look nice, it's an absolute steal. Yeah, there's a decent chance you'll have 1-2 dead/stuck pixels (I have one that's green when it should be black, but apparently otherwise functional), but with the DPI on them you stand a really good chance of never noticing. Also, don't buy the "pixel perfect" ones--they send you the same monitor, but offer to refund you something like $10/bad pixel in most cases.

I've been looking for a new monitor lately and the one I've landed on that seems like it suits what I want is this one, the ViewSonic VX2858Sml. I figure before I do anything though it'd be wise to ask if anyone has any experience with this model or company and what your thoughts are. I can't seem to find much in the way of actual reviews for it out there. Generally speaking I just want a large (At or over 27") 1920x1080 or larger 16:9 screen with multiple HDMI ports, an overall decent color quality/black level, LED lit, and built in speakers so that I can connect headphones or better speakers directly to it from an audio jack without having to fiddle with more wires and poo poo coming from my consoles. If there's a better model that fits that description, especially for a better price, though, let me know and hear about it.

For the 21:9 1440p crowd, Dell has announced their own 21:9 monitor to one-up the LG 34UM95P. The release date is off because November is for China and December is for other regions. The U3415w is not what anyone would have really expected: quote:Dell released its UltraSharp U3415W, a 34-inch curved ultra-wide monitor, which the company claims will provide an ergonomic multi-display workspace with just two displays; to rival those with three full-HD ones. The displays are equipped with blue-light reduction technology, to reduce eye-strain. The U3415W offers an aspect ratio of 21:9 (cinematic), with a native resolution of 3440 x 1440 pixels, refresh rate of 60 Hz, and 8 ms response time (GTG). Display inputs include HDMI 2.0 (sufficient bandwidth to run the panel at its native specs), mini-DisplayPort 1.2, and MHL. The monitor takes both analog inputs, and digital audio passthrough from its HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.2 connections, to drive its inbuilt 9W stereo speakers. The UltraSharp U3415W from Dell will begin selling some time in November, 2014. necrobobsledder fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Sep 1, 2014 |

I bounce back and forth between my Dell U2713hm and a nice 32" 1080p tv for my monitor depending on how much I want to play consoles. The tv was my main display for several years and was/is great. You'll get a lot of naysayers in this thread but try one out and keep your receipt if you don't like it. The only thing is you gotta turn your sharpness down to 0 to make the text not look fucky.

I mean, FreeSync vs. G-Sync is going to be years more before it really settles and using Adaptive Sync becomes a matter of course for both AMD and Nvidia. But monitors can last years, and that sounds like a nice one, so shame it doesn't have Adaptive Sync.

Anyone have first hand experience on how noticable the latency increase is going from U23HM12 to U27HM13? TFT Central's reviews make it seem like an absurd leap, 0.6 ms to 22.2 ms.

DrDork posted:I absolutely love mine. As GrizzlyCow notes, you need to get the single-input version, but that's fine because that's also the cheapest version--they take regular trips below $300 shipped. Do you have any guides for this or pictures of your setup? I am tempted to get a couple and a stand to do just this but I'd love to see how it looks afterwards first.

They're not kidding about the paint selection, though--use the Rust-Oleum Professional High Performance Enamel Spray Paint - Flat Black like they recommend and it will look fantastic. Blends in perfectly with other "professional" monitors. I ended up using gray primer instead of black, and that worked just fine.

Has anyone tried one of these 32" Acers? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009643 I guess I'm a little worried about VA ghosting but I also cannot remember the last time I actually saw a monitor ghost noticeably, so kinda uncertain about the reality of the concern.

I also like having two 4:3 windows side by side when I'm working regularly; that's why I didn't like a lot of the 16:10 1440p displays -- you end up with two really tall windows and things scale awkwardly. I've already said this in this thread, but I prefer 21:9 displays to 16:9 or :10 because I get more gaming immersion, in my experience. The screens are wider in real inches over similar sized screens, which fills my peripheral vision better than having a big "square" in front of me. I don't have to move closer to fill my view either. I will say that 1080 is a bit too short and leaves you wanting a few more pixels. Those 1440 21:9s were perfect when I got to see one IRL. Dell posted:Dell U2711

Is it close enough to black friday to wait for some crazy sale? I've had these mismatched 1680x1050 monitors for 6 years and my eyes are going to die down to this http://www.amazon.com/Dell-293M3-IPS-LED-23-Inch-LED-lit-Monitor/dp/B009H0XQRS or this http://www.amazon.com/Asus-VS247H-P-23-6-Inch-Full-HD-LED-Lit/dp/B005BZNDS0 Why are there 23, 23.6, and 24 inch monitors and is that 0.4 inches worth an extra $15? (I'd rather not buy additional mounts, I don't want usb ports on it, and my budget is $400-500 for 2 monitors.) Which of these two (or similar) sucks less?

I've always been a fan of the 21.5" Dell, but that's because it was $120 at Microcenter for 6 months straight which kept the online price down for everyone else. As of last Friday they went back up to $160. So, the Asus might be more convenient to you since it has an HDMI and Audio In port in addition to the Dell's DVI and VGA. It's also a lower price even before arsing with the mail in rebate. Failing that you could check to see if refurbished models go on sale at Dell.com, with coupons I've seen them under $100 with free shipping both ways in case you get any dead pixels.

With those 21:9 monitors I wonder if you can setup two or more virtual monitors of custom resolution? On games where I need a guide to cheese off of it would be nice if I could get one monitor as 2560x1440 and the other monitor could be 880 x 1440 so I could have webpages and chats pulled up.
