I have a 7950 and intend to just use a Korean monitor without AA for most games. Though I also don't play bf3 or any GPS where frame rate matters.

Why would you not want to play any video game at the max settings with 16x Anti-Aliasing?

Would this monitor,ASUS VS247H-P, be good enough for my SA, news and blog reading? I also play Diablo 3 but have no plans to watch any movies on it. I assume it's OK since my 5 year old Dell monitors seem to be OK.

I'm leaning really hard towards taking the plunge on a 27" Korean panel to replace the glossy-finish HP that's currently driving me mad. Currently what I'm after is: -Matte-finish -Able to be VESA mounted (suggestions for an arm that can take a panel this size?) -Hdmi or displayport would be nice, but not a hundred dollar premium nice -Minimal frills besides the aforementioned port preference With those things in mind would I be best suited looking for any particular one? The Auria on Microcenter is a tad expensive and I'm not clear if it's glossy finished or not but otherwise it looks like about what the doctor ordered. Is there anything I'm missing from the eBay offerings that might be better?

Because until this year I didn't have a computer that could do that anyway at any (playable) resolution, and on a screen with pixels that small, how the poo poo would you notice? e: the yeti posted:I'm leaning really hard towards taking the plunge on a 27" Korean panel to replace the glossy-finish HP that's currently driving me mad. Pretty sure all Korean models are glossy (with tempered glass being more glossy than others). They are all vesa mountable, or the ebay ads will say if they are/aren't. QNIX, Matrix Neo, look like the easiest to swap stands (theirs go into the VESA holes already). HDMI/DP, you'll need the Nexius, Auria, or one of the multi input ones on fleabay. And they're still the hundred dollar premium. Tedronai66 fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Aug 7, 2012 |

Just pulled the the trigger on one of those Corean 30 inchers for ~$680. My 4 year old Samsung 1900x1200 just decided to begin dying a slow death a few days ago. Then again it has survived a move across the country, and 2 more subsequent moves. Rest in peace, old friend; may you find that eternal backlight in the sky. I'm not too optimistic about dead pixels considering the price but from what I've gathered from other forums people can and do get flawless panels. Yes, it is a sizable premium over those 27 inchers but hey, when you're hellbent for 16:10, nothing else will do.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:A 30" monitor at 2560x1600 is about 100 DPI so the pixels are the same size as ones on a 22" at 1920x1080. I'm sure it would be easy enough to find them. Oh, I stand corrected. Still, it took me about 3 years to find a dead pixel on my 30"  In other news, one of the Korean 27's just came in. No dead pixels for $318 and free expedited shipping? Amazing. Here's the page if anyone's interested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140808076771

Finding capacitors for my flickering monitor is a bit more difficult that I originally thought. Up in my area of Canada, it seems the prevalent monitors being sold are Samsung, Asus, Benq, and LG. I've been told that Samsung uses lesser quality parts/screens, so I'm on the fence with them. Does anyone here have good/bad experience with Samsung? I currently have a 22 inch 1680X1050 monitor with a 6780 Vid card. I'm thinking up jumping up to 27 inch, but think I'd need to upgrade the vid card as well. I mostly use the PC for gaming. With a 27 inch monitor at 1080p, is it pretty safe to say I'll need a better vid card if I still want to play games at high to ultra? Here's the monitor I'm looking at: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX38429 Kragger99 fucked around with this message at 22:09 on Aug 7, 2012 |

I am looking at some warrantied monitors on ebay. They come with 60 days from dell, with ~$30 for 2 years from squaretrade. Has anyone used this squaretrade before, and are they good about owning up to issues? Is it a bad idea to buy 2 refub monitors that only have a 60 day warranty? qwertyasdf fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Aug 8, 2012 |

You might find the 27 not much bigger than the U2412M's, since the dells are 16:10 and the koreans are 16:9 - the 3 inches are almost exclusively horizontal space, which may not be useful screen estate depending on your application, especially vs a dual monitor setup. Here's a visual comparison: http://www.displaywars.com/24-inch-16x10-vs-27-inch-16x9

He's still yet to ship mine that I ordered on the 28th but keeps sending me ebay messages saying "korean vacation extended so sorry we'll refund $5 if you accept", so far he's done it twice and given me $10 back. I chose dream-seller because he had the reputation of wrapping the boxes in bubble wrap built for a tank, but this is getting ridiculous.

Has anyone used this squaretrade before, and are they good about owning up to issues? I've used squaretrade before for my old DLP television and it was the worst warranty experience imaginable. Google them and you'll see a ton of horror stories. Mostly what they do is try to reduce the warranty claims by any means necessary, hanging up on you even if you're speaking civil, deny they received faxed documentation, etc. If you keep on them long enough eventually they'll just cancel the warranty and refund you the cost of it, which doesn't really help you at all as now you're stuck with a broken electronic that you might not have even bought had you of known it wasn't going to have a warranty.

I ordered a monitor from dream-seller on the 27th and after one "literally the entire nation of Korea goes on vacation" email, I've heard nothing since. Other reviews on the internet say they never get tracking info and the monitor just arrives one day, so I'm trying to stay optimistic. No recent negative feedback on eBay though so that's good.

I'm in the market and wanting something that I can at least do some basic calibration to for photo editing and gaming. Are there any good write-ups on the AH-IPS technology in general and how it improves on IPS? Can't wait to read a review and see these on sale... have to decide between this and a pair of 24" displays I'm thinking.
