I'm in it pretty much solely for gaming, so I'm wondering if actually a 24" 144Hz or w/e is the way to go over a bigger size

Hearing that the Acer B326HK has a very soft AG coating, which is good. It seems like it's available in Europe right now but not the US, where it's been "paper launched" but no one has stock. If it really does reliable SST 4k at 60hz it's going to be hard to pass up.

Dell Canada has listed the price of their U2715H at $269.99. When I called, they flat out refused to honour their error and could only offer a $130 discount. Their rep was pretty rude too. Terrible customer service.

Hah it's still up for that too. I'd take it for $130 off the $699 that's still a great deal! $269 is one of those obvious mistakes.

Strong Sauce posted:Anyone with the 34UM94-P have problems when your computer comes out of sleep mode? When I wake it up the screen is extremely jumpy. It looks like how TV shows and movies make monitors look like when they get "hacked". Not sure how else to explain it. The Yellow Ant posted:I have the curved version, and it used to do that. Sort of a streaky vertical interlacing problem? It hasn't happened in a while. My computer is set to turn off the displays, but never fully sleep itself. I turned DisplayPort 1,2 off in the monitor's menu about when the problems stopped happening, so maybe start there? I've seen the same issue on my 34UM94-P. I also turned off Displayport 1.2 and haven't seen it since. Looks like a bug.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-126-LG anyone know anything about this screen? seems like a good deal. Not on tftcentral so don't know about the frame lag and cant really find other reviews. Still using a Samsung 226BW TN. Not sure if I need a x1440 screen though. All I play at the moment is PoE and DOTA on a GTX770. More worried about losing 60fps in those games than anything. Don't know if I'll be playing newer games yet and also blowing up a 720p mkv to fullscreen might look like rear end. If I get an NUC and NAS also I can swap to watching everything on my TV anyway Thinking of upgrading because mine emits this high pitched whine that bugs me and someone else in my family might be able to use it. I wouldn't normally upgrade until it's totally broken otherwise. My other option would be a Dell U2414H for about £200. Don't really care about or have a need for 4k either. Don't really want a glossy monitor either uhhhhahhhhohahhh fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Nov 25, 2014 |

My sincerest apologies if this is the wrong thread for this, but I figure it's related so close enough. I'm looking for desk-clamping dual/triple monitor mount and there's so many to choose from yet many of them look awful. Basically I would need it to be very flexible and very sturdy, by flexible I mean I want to be able to move my monitors up/down/left/right/away/towards easily, and have a large range of motion, by sturdy I mean I don't want it to feel like it's about to drop my monitor (or detach from my desk) when I'm doing this. Dual monitor is probably fine but if there's an option for 3 that's even better.

I'm looking to replace a slightly damaged u2311h with a new monitor and that extra wide LG 25' 2560x1080 is going to be on sale at NCIX for $190 CAD which should amount to $230-240 total after taxes and shipping. Is this a worthwhile upgrade or should I bear with my slightly imperfect 1080p monitor for a while longer? I'm thinking about buying a GTX 970 too so I can't exactly throw a huge amount of money at a new monitor right now.

You're free to try and get it for that price (and I doubt anyone here wouldn't try) but no one is going to sympathize with you that you didn't get it. They offered you $125 for their mistake. They literally could have just said, "tough poo poo, pricing mistake" and hung up on you. But instead they offered free money to you and you refused.

The Dell UltraSharp 24 Monitor - U2414H is $249.99 for Black Friday off Dell's Web Site. People here are reccomending the U2412M though. What's the difference? I just threw the bones down on a pimpin' new machine with a gtx 970. I'd like to view games on a sweet monitor instead of the costco TN crap I'm running. 1. the u2412M has 1920x1200 vs. the u2414H's 1920x1080. Aren't most games in this resolution anyways? 2. won't 1920x1200 reduce frame rate in games like far cry 4 vs. a 1920x1080 monitor? thanks in advance! Recommend a monitor to me to take advantage of the new system: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4b8M6h

1. Yes, but PC games should support any relatively common resolution (1920x1200 is very common) 2. Yes, there are more pixels, but I doubt that you will see any significant decrease in performance. The upside is that you get 120px of vertical space. They can pry my 16:10 monitors from my cold, dead hands. Have you looked into G-Sync monitors? They seem to be overpriced, but the experience is supposed to be great. Un-l337-Pork fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Nov 27, 2014 |

Cool, you have convinced me. The 1920x1200 u2whateverM is available on amazon for $220.00 right now. Now I just want to know if I'll get a better deal (or lose out) by waiting until Monday for this beast. Eesh and now I want two. I have a feeling my old TN panel is going to look really sad sitting next to this beauty... 1. Do I need a squaretrade warranty on this thing? I've had great experiences with the company whenever I break my cellphone, but feel like my monitor will be pretty safe on my desktop. $40.00 seems cheap for 4 years of warranty.

I bought this monitor from Amazon 11 days ago for $234 and I just called them and was given a refund for $14. They usually let you do this within 7 days, once per item, so if I were you I'd buy it now and watch for price drops in the next week. YMMV, but Amazon's usually good about that stuff.

The Zero G version has better back light uniformity whereas the Pro has better color fidelity across sRGB and 77% of Adobe RGB.

Gaming it really depends on what you're playing, if you have something fast pace and can push out the frames I'd suggest the 144 over the 27".

Anybody know anything about the Samsung S24D590PL? Primary use is going to be for gaming and I'm trying to keep it under $150, although I could probably go a little higher. TrustedReviews seemed to like it as a cheap gaming monitor, but I have no idea if they know what they're talking about.

I got the Acer UHD B286HK off newegg for 350 bucks on Monday. I was a little worried because there were some customer reviews saying it had ghosting problems but I haven't noticed any since I got it. I got it Tuesday and it seems really solid, if it dips back down to that price anyone on the fence about getting 4k should buy it! It runs at 4k @ 60Hz but it doesn't have freesync or gsync. I probably sound like a shill but I've been really happy with my purchase.

Yeah, that's the way I ended up going, got the Asus VG248QE. Came today, really smooth. Tried CSGO and I could totally feel the difference in response time off the cheapo display I had been using. I play a variety of stuff and the extra pixels would have been nice for strategy stuff probably not as much of a difference maker than the speed for actiony stuff, which I lean towards anyway. I also have an R9 290x coming (currently have just a 6870) so it should be even better going from ~100fps to maxing it out

Reading the recommended IPS monitors and looking for sales, looks like the best monitor at around 24inch for me is the Dell u2412m and u2414h which Dell is graciously offering for about 270. I was probably going to go with the 2412 since it's 16:10. Sad that it doesn't have an hdmi port but certainly not a deal breaker. Thoughts? e: must mention that I have to suffer Canada prices

You could get a hdmi -> DVI converter for pretty cheap, they are just passive devices. You lose the audio though, if you were going for pass through. I think the DVI on the u2412 is hdcp compliant but I can't remember 100% But yeah it sucks they don't have hdmi input, come on! The u2415 does (but not on sale)

I'm just looking for a monitor to hold me over for at least (3 I hope) years. I use my PC mostly for gaming and read through the OP but I'm still unclear as to what the ultrasharps offer over other monitors? And it seems like they would be worse since I'd have to use an hdmi converter or use DVI but I'm unsure on this. I'm using an AMD HD 7800 graphics card if that matters.

Yes the DVI on the U2412M is HDCP compliant. But the main reason that it's not ideal for use with a console is that it doesn't have a 1:1 pixel mapping mode - 1920x1080 is actually stretched to 1920x1200 rather than letterboxed. If you don't mind that it's a very good monitor (I own one), but I couldn't stand using it for my PS3 back when I used a monitor for console gaming.

That's a good point, forgot about the pixel mapping. The u2414 would be great if you want the 1080p & hdmi I bet.
