So my old Samsung 205BW finally crapped out and I'm looking to upgrade but I can't decide between the u2312 and the u2412. Is the extra inch really worth the $100 bucks? Main uses are gaming and watching movies (I don't mind black bars on my movies.) I'll sometimes do some quick photo and video editing but I'm used to it on a 20.1 inch screen so there's nothing to really miss if I go with the u2312 I feel like. Also this is probably a dumb question but the upgrade won't put any more strain on my cpu for gaming right, just my video card? edit: $70 dollar difference because of shipping on the 2312. punch drunk fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Oct 16, 2012 |

I need a lovely second monitor that has built in speakers so I can use my Xbox on it or gently caress around on it while I'm watching something on my main monitor. I'd ask in the TV thread but all they seem to talk about is huge rear end tvs. Any recommendations for cheap bottom of the barrel stuff? I don't need great picture or sound quality just something that won't set on fire when I plug it in and is cheap.

I asked a bit back about a lovely secondary monitor for my xbox since my current u2412mb doesn't have an HDMI input but I think I'll just upgrade and use dual monitors instead. I'll continue to game occasionally on this monitor but would like my new main monitor to be for movies and some light editing/color correction on personal projects. I'm never going to be more than 2-3 feet from this screen so I guess its time to take the plunge into 4k. Honestly 24" seems plenty big enough to me but wouldn't mind stepping it up a little bit. If theres something good in the $400 or below range that is preferable but wouldn't mind stepping up to around $600 if I could get something much better.

Coredump posted:Wait, what's the model number on that monitor again? Is it a Dell Ultrasharp? Yeah its the 2412M Ultrasharp. BIG HEADLINE posted:HDMI and DVI are the same thing, HDMI just carries audio. Buy an adapter or a DVI>HDMI cable and you'll be fine. I am currently doing this but I really do want dual monitors and switching back and forth is slightly cumbersome so I am going to end up buying something. I guess I don't need to take the plunge into 4k yet though and can just pick up a nicer non4k monitor. punch drunk fucked around with this message at 13:47 on May 21, 2017 |

Been using a u2412 for the longest time and I'm mostly happy with it except for black levels while watching movies. Would something like https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-GC2870H-1920x1080-Technology-Flicker-free/dp/B06XDSK4NN/ be good a secondary monitor for video watching? I also do a decent amount of video editing/amateur color correction but I'm guessing the u2412 would still be better for that?
