Is this because of the IPS technology? I'm more inclined to believe it's due to the LED backlighting. I have a U2311 and a U2312HM (both eIPS) that I use side by side and I seem to be getting what I believe was to be backlight bleeding on the U2312HM but this glow that you mention could be it. Is this just generally accepted as normal?

Well in the revelation that this tech is possible with 60 Hz IPS displays, I am now very excited about G Sync. What are the chances that these monitor manufacturers see enough of a demand for the IPS panels that they'll release them concurrently with the 144 Hz TN panels?

Zorilla posted:So, is Dell trying to pass off their B-stock as factory refurbished units now or what? My replacement U2713HM came in today, and while the LCD panel itself seems to be free of issues so far ( I suspect something of the sort. I picked up a second U2312HM last week due to the 35% off sale. The display is fine although for some reason to match my other one's brightness of 40 this one has to be set to 25. Do LED displays dim over time or something? Anyways, what stuck out to me was that the plastic bezel didn't really fit together perfectly like my other one. I would be more upset if I didn't pay only $130 for it, but nonetheless the issue is there.

It's pretty much a given that people that could use this tech the most, low to mid-range gamers, won't shell out $400 for a monitor to make up for their lack of performance for their $250 GPUs. Hopefully in the future the tech would become cheaper, but as it is, the people who are springing for it need it the least.

Calidar posted:I finally got my hands on a third monitor today, another Asus VS247H-P. Now my experience with the first 2 was perfect, no problems with them at all. However this new one is giving me a bit of bother. The colour of it is off, and I mean way off the picture doesn't really do it justice. The first and second are a nice bluey white, whereas the new one is a much brighter vivid yellow when displaying a white background. You can buy a calibrator, although I don't know if that's worth it for a TN panel. Anyways, you're never guaranteed exactly the same color profile even on the same model, The best chance would be having the monitors come off the production line right next to eachother (which is likely if you buy two from the same retailer at the same time), otherwise you'll still have to calibrate them to match. Age of the monitor also affects color.

I've heard that there were issues with the Dell 32 inch "4k" display. What are they exactly and are they deal breakers?

GokieKS posted:The problem with the 32" is that it uses DP MST, which is a hack that brings with it a bunch of issues, like what AnandTech found: Is this some sort of limitation with DP or does only the 32 inch Dell have this issue? It sounds like a workaround for enabling 4k displays, but in that case, shouldn't all 4k monitors be affected?

dhamster posted:Any tips when it comes to adding a second monitor? It's not too hard to do, just hook it up and try. Any monitor can work as a second monitor, depending on your preferences. You can mount it vertically, horizontally, to the left, to the right; it doesn't matter because Windows will allow you to configure it correctly. Two different sizes works if you're not OCD about having things matching or what not. If you care about color consistency, note that two monitors, even of the same model, will very likely not match perfectly without calibration. Do you have any specific concerns?

El Scotch posted:Oh, I know thunderbolt can do it, but I don't know of any 4k thunderbolt displays. Thunderbolt is compatible with DP, as in, it uses the same cable. Therefore, you can plug in any 4k display that has DP, which is all of them.

Syle187 posted:I current have 2 Dell u2312hm for my desktop, and I love them, no complaints at all. However, I need something I can plug a PS4 into as well. I don't have the space or use for an actual TV at the moment. So, I'm looking for a nice larger-ish monitor that I can use in addition to these two. I was thinking 1440p at least, but I'm not sure how well that would scale and look for a PS4's input. Multiple input types and a decent set of speakers would be a high priority as well. Also, something I can adjust the height on would be nice. I only have a 2 GB GTX 770 in the computer currently, so no real need for anything over 60 Hz. Just get a tiny TV to hook your PS4 into. All speakers in TVs or monitors suck, use a headset. 2560x1440 will look like poo poo for PS4, use 1080p or 4K. As an alternative, hook the ps4 into one of your 2312HMs. That's what I do. Use an HDMI to DVI cable.

Syle187 posted:That's what I'm doing currently. I guess I can just buy a headset. Right now I have speakers plugged into the controller and I have to change cables every time I want to use the console. I was just hoping for a more elegant solution. That would definitely be a more affordable option though, maybe I'll do that. Thanks! Why would you have to change cables to use the PS4? Does your computer not output displayport?

HalloKitty posted:I don't know, really, my Dell 2005FPW that I still use every day as my secondary monitor was purchased in 2007, and still works perfectly. Still looks good enough to be a main monitor, honestly (although for me, that's a U2410). I would say how long it's been on for, but checking the service menu yields 65535 hours.. so, I don't think it's going to be counting that any longer. I think the idea is that sure, it would work, but by then, tech is so far advanced that you wouldn't want to use it anymore. Just like a processor. Processors last for 20 years easy but they become obsolete much faster than that. Monitors too become obsolete. For example, your 2005 and 2410 are both CFL backlit. Not only do these bulbs get dimmer as they age, but the color profile changes as well. You would have to calibrate these every year (or few months if you're a graphic designer) in order to maintain color accuracy. LEDs, which backlight modern LCD screens combat this a little. However, most consumer monitors are backlit by white LEDs. These are LEDs that are blue with a yellow phosphor. Over time, the yellow phosphor will wear out, meaning the color temperature of the display will generally cool over time. Lastly, the latest LCD backlighting technology is RGB LEDs, which mean that there are red, green, and blue LEDs behind the panel. These are generally reserved for professional panels and aren't often sold in the consumer space. These provide the highest color accuracy, but they face the same problem as OLEDs these days. Blue LEDs dim faster than red and green LEDs, meaning the color temperature will warm over time. Nothing lasts forever.

Berious posted:I have multi monitors, I can never quite get them to match color wise and it drives me somewhat insane. Are your monitors of a similar era and quality? If one monitor is just flat out better than the other one then it's going to be hard to get a match. Hardware color calibrators are extremely cheap, everybody should own one. Get a used ColorMunki or Spyder 2,3,4, or 5 and use Argyll CMS and DisplayCAL software. The manufacturer's software is crap. These will match them if it's physically possible.

Berious posted:Thanks for the info! Oh, very interesting. If it's the same model, it should be possible. Typically, even with the same model monitor, unless they came off the production line right next to eachother, at default settings, a match is unlikely unless they come factory calibrated. Does the monitor come with a preset color mode like sRGB or AdobeRGB? Setting them both to that might work. Although it could be mismatched because the old one might just be dimmer than the other, as a result of age. If it appears that way, try using more brightness on the old one.

Would it be stupid to buy a 144Hz FreeSync monitor when you have an Nvidia graphics card? I play games where I can probably peg the FPS at 144fps pretty much all of the time.

Deviant posted:Ok, yeah, those are the settings that started this whole conversation. But I will try it, and the above mentioned brighter ceiling fan lights. 4x40w LED equivalent @ 2700k, for a total of 1400 lumens. Just think about this a little. You don't have to follow the settings exactly, since those settings are more for people who need 100% color accuracy, which means having the brightness as a set standard. If you don't need 100% color accuracy and just want the monitor to be dimmer, just lower the brightness, man. A professional would be using the monitor in a room that is well lit with 6500k light. As an aside, my bedroom is 6400 lumens of 6500k lighting. I can't look "up" without hurting my eyes, but by the gods, the colors are accurate.

Deuce posted:What the hell is quantum dot and why should I care Think of it as cheaper baclighting alternative to RGB LED backlit LCD screens. It's still just a backlight tech. Mainstream monitors are backlit by white LEDs. Professional grade LCD monitors are RGB backlit. Quantum dot is supposed to bring this into the mainstream eventually.

Omnicarus posted:It does, but it is a TN panel. I think a good argument could be made at 1080P that IPS and a really good card is better than Gsync TN. There aren't any high refresh 1080p panels that are IPS. They're all TN.

Electric Phantasm posted:Are there any good budget monitors right now? Mostly going to be for gaming and the GPU in the computer I just got is pretty old(GTX 770 and then to a GTX 1070 in the near future). Set up a nowinstock alert on Amazon for the AOC 24G2 or the Asus VP249QGR. They are $180 and $160 respectively. The AOC has a better stand and warranty for the extra $20.
