If I want a 24" monitor with: lots of connections awesome color fidelity and depth good price a refurbished u2410 for around $350 is a no-brainer, right?

movax posted:Yep, it meets all that criteria. Who are you buying it from? Make sure you still get the Premium Panel guarantee so you can keep RMAing until you get a display with zero dead pixels, etc. If I bought it now, which is doubtful, it would be off eBay. It's manufacturer refurbished, not sure about what qualifies for Premium Panel guarantee...

I previously posted: If I want a 24" monitor with: lots of connections awesome color fidelity and depth good price a refurbished u2410 for around $350 is a no-brainer, right? What if I remove the "lots of connections" part? What's my best option for a sRBG-gamut IPS panel in the 24" range?

movax posted:You get what Dell did if they removed the "lots of connections" part, the U2412M. 6-bit panel, drops to only digital connections. ZR24W from HP isn't a bad choice either. 6-bit isn't the same gamut though, correct? Also what about something like the NEC P221W? ShaneB fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Sep 23, 2011 |

NOTinuyasha posted:Does Dell sell any 1440p displays with the same sort of glossy screen as the S2340M? I bought two S2340Ms at Best Buy a while ago and they're absolutely perfect, on par with the quality of the cinema display I have them sitting next to. Initial research says no but I might be missing something. Any other brands that might have something similar? The 2340M is pretty criminally overlooked, as far as I can tell.

I can't find the Auria EQ276W at Microcenter anywhere and haven't seen it in stock in a long while. Are there any clones/competitors I should look at in the $400 27" 1440p range?

Paul MaudDib posted:4K seems to be on the horizon at this point. The ASUS PB287Q is going to do 4K @ 60hz for $800 sometime in Q2. What kind of GPU are you going to need to drive something like that at reasonable (non-Ultra) settings? A very very powerful one. It's literally 4x the pixels of 1080p so.... Stuff like a 290x doesn't even really make high-end games at 4k very playable: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-290x-hawaii-review,3650-17.html

Zorilla posted:I've had both LG IPS and Samsung PLS panels, and I think I prefer PLS because they seem to have more vibrant color and better backlight/color uniformity based on my personal experience. I have a glossy Dell 23" IPS right now (a cheaper one from Microcenter) and I love the color fidelity for photography work and general niceness, but I have 3 windows 12 feet behind me and the glare during the day gets kind of old. I guess I should go for the matte PLS?

Is there any reason to look at the HP ZR2740w vs. one of the Korean panels?

GokieKS posted:Warranty/service, and you can get it from a retailer (like Micro Center) where you can return it a lot easier if you have problems. In terms of features of the monitor itself, not really. Eh, Micro Center has 30 day return on monitors (maybe even only 15), so that's not a HUGE draw. With all the potential for issues, the 2 or 3 year replacement warranty seems appealing, though. Cost:benefit analysis is hard on this, though. I've heard only bad things about the HP warranty process but maybe that's just isolated issues.

Ynglaur posted:That AOC one looks fantastic spec-wise. How do they compare in terms of quality to, say, Dell or Asus? Just by how it looks I'd be REALLY unsurprised to learn it was the exact same thing as the Dell S2340M with a different coating. Eh, I guess it has speakers and more inputs, though.

Clark Nova posted:The ultrasharp U2412M is $230 on amazon right now. No idea how long the deal will last. Someone tell me how much better this is than the S2340M in real-world situations? I'd like the biggest color gamut I can get for the money. The glossiness of the S2340M, combined with the windows in my office, make it kind of annoying, too. Edit: oh man, 16:10, dope.

Splinter posted:I'm looking for a 27" 1440p IPS for programming, photography and general use. I do care about color accuracy (sRGB). I don't game much anymore so I'm not too concerned with input lag. Man, the U2713HM is $600 at Newegg? I think I know what I am saving up for now, if the pre-calibration means it's going to be better than the more basic HP offering at $400 or so.

Nephilm posted:Pre-calibration just means it's going to be slightly better at color reproduction than the off-the-assembly-lines average; if you're serious about color accuracy you'll still need to buy/borrow a colorimeter. The anand reviews have it as their best (as of review date) off-the-line specs...

Essentially new 27" Qnix worth $300, right? Is the "matte type screen" like OVERLY matte? Or is that the semi gloss one?

Is daily driving a Ultra HD monitor challenging? I don't have room for 2 displays side-by-side, so I am looking at something like a Dell P2715Q. I don't care about gaming, so I assume my 270X can push those pixels for windows or whatever. However, I'm concerned about random programs looking like trash, or resolution/scaling rearing their ugly heads. I also run Windows 7 now, so maybe upgrading to Windows 10 would be better for handling that?

Okay, Xmas money in hand and looking at finally upgrading my 23" cheapo Dell. I'd like to get a 27" 1440p panel, I think, as that seems like a nice balance between usable resolution and screen size without dealing with scaling issues. My primary concerns are color accuracy and picture quality. I'd like to at least be able to play stuff like Overwatch without issues, as well, but ultra awesome gaming capability isn't that important to me. I'd kinda like to get some kind of Freesync capability for future-proofing, I think? I'm currently looking at the Asus MG279Q, which Tom's loved in basically every way. However, it seems like it's a bit old now so I'm not sure if a better total package exists. Any thoughts on this?

If I decide to skip any kind of *sync and just want an awesome, great color, etc etc 27" 1440p monitor, the Dell U2715H is still pretty much king in the price range of $400, right?

27" of 1440p real estate makes 23" 1080p seem like I was using some kind of postage stamp. Running apps full screen feels really stupid, though. Web browsers look dumb. Running stuff snapped to the side is unusual for me... behavioral changes due to a monitor is bizarre to have to experience.
