What's the verdict on the Dell U2211H? I'm kinda interested in replacing my trusty LG L227WTG 22" gaming monitor.

For this reason I don't see why anyone would run with vsync *off*. The tearing is awful in many games. As the refresh rate is 60Hz anyway there's no benefit of having a higher framerate other than e-peen measuring ("I get 132 FPS :smug:") or am I missing something?

I can feel a tiny bit of input lag with Vsync / triple buffering on but would rather live with that than the pain inducing screen tearing.

I don't think the average user don't even know what vsync is; these are the same people that complain about CRT flickering when they can just simply increase the refresh rate by a few mouse clicks. And when LCDs hit, they run them at resolutions other than native and tell me it looks good. /facepalm.

Yeah, I realise that but I wasn't suggesting the sub-$1000 notebooks should all be kitted with IPS, but the higher end laptops like the Macbook Pros, Thinkpads, Vaios, etc. should be. We have a £400 iPad with an IPS display, and Samsung's IPS rival technology (PLS) is apparently even cheaper to manufacture.

I think with IPS monitors becoming cheaper and more popular, and most tablets using IPS or PLS, it won't be that far away until notebook manufacturers are urged to ditch TN displays in their higher end machines.

I won't even mind TNs for laptops if they were at least as good as those in Macbooks, but your average TN on a consumer laptop is truly bottom of the barrel garbage with no redeeming values.
