    HP 25-27" CW & XW: Almost-Glossy Overclock-able 1080p IPS

    Just swapped out the second one at Costco this afternoon. They were very helpful and actually unboxed one for me in the store and we set it up with one of the demo PCs so I could check for dead pixels without having to lug it home. :) Back in action now!

    HP 25-27" CW & XW: Almost-Glossy Overclock-able 1080p IPS

    Euskalzabe, I think they discontinued an older model and have a newer one now, perhaps? That's why Amazon seems to indicate. Build date on the two I bought is March 2016.

    HP 25-27" CW & XW: Almost-Glossy Overclock-able 1080p IPS

    Just using the dvi to HDMI for now. Afaik, the digital signal makes no difference. That said, yep.. I picked up two of them yesterday. Very happy with them. They look very nice on my new big desk. Tried a number of tasks and a few games. I'm just your average fellow, but to me, I see no...

    HP 25-27" CW & XW: Almost-Glossy Overclock-able 1080p IPS

    You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you! One more inquiry if you don't mind. :) My GTX960 has 1 dvi-i dual link output, 1 HDMI, and 3 displayport outputs. Obviously one will be a direct HDMI connection. For the second display, should I use dvi to HDMI, or, displayport to HDMI? (Or...

    HP 25-27" CW & XW: Almost-Glossy Overclock-able 1080p IPS

    Daniel, thanks for the thoughts! That BenQ is a nice looking set for sure. Alas, I don't have a good way to see one locally that aware of! With the $30 savings per monitor, maybe I'll take the plunge. Not sure how I'll like the white/silver frame in the room but we will see! Exciting! Any...

    Help me choose a monitor please!

    This is quite a bit over my budget of around $340 for both. I won't rule out a pair of 24s but am really leaning to 27.

    Help me choose a monitor please!

    The 27MP38VQ-B seems to be, best I can tell, a Micro Center exclusive. I can find almost no information on it. (No reviews, really) Not sure where they got these things. Red flag? Or maybe a re-branded version of something else?

    Help me choose a monitor please!

    Hmm.. I had someone specifically recommend to go with that BenQ over the HP. Here's what he said: He's looking out for my gaming experience, I guess. But, with IPS these days, is this still a problem? I saw the HP in store, but it was not hooked up. Looks nice. But I'd be lying if I said...

    Help me choose a monitor please!

    Hi all, I am really struggling with selecting a monitor. Reviews are all over the place, and I am really mixed on what I do on my PC. Looking for some guidance. I am looking to replace two older, aging monitors, with a new dual matching set. My current displays: Current monitor 1, CHIMEI...

    Trying to find a new laptop for my wife. Any suggestions?

    Back to report on this laptop. First, the ordering process: The ordering process was grueling. Lenovo has some serious work to do to get with the times for ordering. Despite their website allowing me to purchase the laptop, and, giving me an estimate of 5-7 business days, the first order...

    Trying to find a new laptop for my wife. Any suggestions?

    Can't go Chromebook--she wants Windows. And she needs MS Office. (I get MS Office through my employer, so no need for it to "come with it" or anything). The Chromebooks aren't the right size, either, nor do they have numpads. So, like none of the criteria I listed. :) Not sure what to say...
