This goes pretty far in depth as to what the different trims offer. http://www.swiftworld.net/2012/04/14/budget-korean-27-ips-monitor-information-and-comparison-of-the-different-brands-and-models/#QH270-LITE From what I'm reading, the $500 dollar ones, are just the $300 ones with more ports and some basic scaling. You're better off getting an adapter of some kind and getting the cheap one. That being said, I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these bad boys http://www.ebay.com/itm/CROSSOVER-2...#ht_7730wt_1163

I mean in regards to displayport, there are plenty of adapters out there http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=display+port As far as scaling goes, that is best left to you video card if you have one capable. What are you trying to hook into the display that cannot output qhd?

I upgraded from an asus 21" lcd to a samsung px2370 a year or so ago and it was a night and day difference. As far as I know, they were both tn panels. However the asus was a fluorescent backlit display. If the dell 24" screens were as cheap then as they are now I would have probably gone that route.

Even the models with multiple ports, scaling etc do it terribly, and they cost twice as much. You're better off getting the hp at that point. Honestly if you don't fit the criteria for the base model its really not worth getting.

I used a 1080 32" lg tv as a monitor for a short while. Luckily it had a pc mode that turned off all the visual junk. Otherwise. It wasn't too bad. Definitely prefer the density if my 24" screen though

Carpet posted:So I'm looking at one of the Korean 27" monitors, as they seem about the same price as the U2412M on Amazon, but I'm not sure if my 7850 HD would be able to cope with the latest games. Also, something else I haven't seen people talk about, is how well these monitors display older or other games in lower resolutions? Actually it's mentioned quite frequently that they don't have built in scalers, and is part of the reason they're so cheap.

Teaches of Peaches posted:I have been looking around for a new screen and I can not seem to land on something that I really want. I want to get a larger ,higher resolution screen. My current one is 21', 1680x1050. I have been looking at some 27' screen but can't find anything that really sticks out to me. I have also read about people enjoying 120hz screens for gaming but that screens like the Ultrasharp have much better color but they don't support the higher refresh rate. If anyone has any good suggestions please let me know. This is kind of the same dilemma I'm in now as well. Guess with this there is no current monitor that let's us have our cake and eat it too. Explains why so many people held on to their trinitrons for so long

Coredump posted:Ignore the OP and start looking at TV's. I ran a 32" Samsung as my primary monitor for several years and it was awesome. Only reason I moved away from it was I need more on screen real estate. Having a remote, built in speakers, and all those inputs was awesome. Text looked fine, just had to turn my sharpness all the way down to 0. No screen door effect and couldn't see any individual pixels. The Samsung also had a spva panel instead of IPS and the colors, image quality, etc. compare favorably to the Dell U2713HM I now use. Lot of tv's have a way to enable "PC" mode or something of the like as well, which pretty much turns them into monitors. My LG and sony both have this feature and it works pretty well

I've got the Asus 24" 144hz, and the refresh rate really is amazing. Every other computer I use now seems laggy. Even when not using lightboost there is a huge difference, and honestly the only games I bother enabling that in are twitch fps. That being said, the viewing angles are fine as far as tn panels go. Personally I don't find myself bothered by how my monitor may be perceived in ways I'm not currently viewing it. The stand, which is great, helps with this. The colors and contrast on the other hand were absolutely atrocious out of the box. It looks like they didn't even try. I used this guide when calibrating it, and it made a huge difference, but still pales in comparison to even your average tn panel. http://pcmonitors.info/reviews/asus-vg248qe

I use my PC pretty much for surfing the web and gaming. I literally just posted my trip report on that exact model not half a page ago.  Also the 144hz motion doesnt lower input lag by anything noticeable, it lowers perceived motion blur which is something you're actually likely to notice vs 1 frame of lag.

Copacabana posted:Hey, I just got a VG248QE to go with my new desktop. When I powered it on for the first time, there was this off-center spot that was lighter than the rest of the screen. It looks like someone pressed their thumb into it. It's been a few days, and it's still there. I haven't done any monitor shopping in ages, so I don't know if I should expect this kind of thing with TN monitors, but it's been driving me That's clearly a damaged monitor, not a tn thing. Personally I would send it back, especially if it bothers you. Here's a pic I took of mine for example, with the brightnes set on 100.

He's not looking for a 120hz monitor in the same range. Any suggestions? All I can find is stuff like the ASUS VE248H, which has no in depth reviews to be found. Why wouldnt you want 120hz tn if a u2312 wasnt fast enough?

Nondescript Van posted:I'm planning on getting a 27" monitor somewhat soon and I would like a suggestion or two. That Dell one I've seen recommened in the OP(s) is outside my price range. I'm looking for one close to the $400-$500 range. I was looking at this overlord computer one as well as these two Monoprice monitors. I'm not sure which is the best for me. The Dell U2713HM goes on sale for $550 at lot if you want to spring for one of those. Otherwise I'd say of the 3 you listed, the cheaper monoprice one is the way to go. Although I doubt they're any different than the many 27" Korean IPS and PLS panels. I'm personally using 2 Qnix QX2710s that I picked up for $270

The seller has agreed to pay for the return. Before I return it, I have ordered a ASUS PB278Q to see if it is any better of a screen and to see if it's worth the extra money. I actually took the glass off mine since all it does is add glare. There's still regular matte ag coating behind the glass, which is probably what that fingerprint is on

Don't expect monoprice quality control to be any better than the eBay vendors. Half the poo poo I order from there I end up sending back. Even until just recently they used the same bezel as half the ones on eBay. In my opinion either spring for a dell/Asus or get whatever eBay/micocenter wqhd monitor is trending cheapest because the in between models aren't worth it.
