Just popping in to say I love this thread. Been working with a lovely LG 22" TN panel for a ~5 years now. Did some basic reading in here and came away ordering a 2412M off Dell.ca for $100 off! I don't know if this deal applies to the US, but if any Canadian goons are considering ordering one, I'm pretty sure this $100 discount only applies today (Tuesday the 1st)

From the op:U2412M posted:- will stretch 1080p vertically The Xbox 360 has settings to compensate for this, but a PS3 will have its image stretched vertically to fit the screen.

Just look at the country in the upper left corner. It's Canada, I got the same deal on the Canada store first week of the month.

I don't think he was talking about the physical space at all. Rather, he was saying that most activities on the computer benefit from having more vertical screen space, so go for 16:10 if you can (and if you don't mind black bars on 16:9 content)

If you take a gamble with a Korean monitor (especially without the 'pixel perfect' warranty), why would you go out of your way to test for dead pixels?

Absent the obvious (like making sure they're both set to output at the native res of the monitor) are you sure you're just not noticing the difference between Windows and Mac font rendering?

Is that like a weekly deal or something? I swear every time I check this thread that monitor is $100 off somewhere. (I also bought one for $100 off this past summer)

Pvt Dancer posted:Exactly the same setup, but my vertical monitor suffers from slightly blurry text. It goes away when I put it in landscape mode. Is this is a driver / windows thing I can fix? If you're interested in the 'why does cleartype need to be reconfigured for portrait mode' question, it's because cleartype typically uses subpixel rendering for text. How this works is that some of the red/blue/green subpixels surrounding the character are lit to allow for sharper text. This gets all messed up if you put your monitor in portrait mode, because the subpixels are all laid out horizontally.

I've never noticed an issue with light bleed on my 2412M. Games look great on it.

It's really stupid to blame Apple for that one, there simply is no great support for it at the OS level. Sure they could have put in some extra effort but then they would have the one lone app that worked in a sea of apps that still had a bunch of glitches because Microsoft has put no effort into high-DPI scaling.

Its just one specific example I've dealt with as I've switched between different size and resolution of monitors in the last 6 months. No, sorry, I should have quoted what I was replying to. Specifically this: quote:You'd think the people that really pushed high-DPI displays and interfaces that can respond well to that environment would be able to make that work outside of their own little garden.

Apples and oranges. IGZO is a material that can be used in the manufacturing of LCD displays.

How about actually reading the OP instead of just skimming it and saying you did? It's filled with lots of useful info about specs and which ones matter and which ones don't, like the meaningless refresh rate stat you're putting on a pedestal. It also has a bunch of recommended models of 24 inch monitors you can use as a starting point.

I don't really see what's passive aggressive about my post. I don't mind providing help but the OP answers your questions much better than I could. Look at the very first paragraph under "Understanding LCD Specs" for information about response time. All of the monitors you linked are TN panels made by reputable manufacturers. Here's a relevant quote from the OP: quote:Gamers / Budget Users Read Here So if that's what you're going for then you'll probably be satisfied with any of those that you like the look of.

They're really good quality displays if you can afford it. The cheaper Korean 27" panels are display panels that Apple/Dell/etc. rejected for use in their 27" displays.

Jiggle or swap the wire completely, that's the only solution when it comes to VGA.

If you don't need the 1:1 mapping, get the U2412M. You won't be disappointed.

I got my U2412M on sale for $250 so I guess that skewed my perception of the value vs. the ASUS. Does the ASUS have a comparable stand to the U2412M? I always love the Dell stands.

Could be more useful for Macs which have good support for high DPI displays already.

As long as the monitor supports HDCP (which I'm pretty sure they all do these days) it will work fine. Don't use a U2412M with consoles as it doesn't have a 1:1 mode and will stretch your console's 16:9 image to fill 16:10.

teagone posted:Seriously. But how/why did people give that Sharp 4k display 5 stars? Do they not notice the fuzzy/blurry font rendering somehow? I got a headache just reading a few paragraphs on the P2314H. The top review noticed it, mentioned the fix (turning it upside down etc.) but rated it 5 stars cause I guess the problem is Apple's to solve in OS X, not Sharps.
