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

    Hey, been awhile! Wanted to make a quick inquiry. I've noticed some non-uniformity in my monitor, it looks like gray splotches a bit below the left center of the screen. A little on the upper left as well. It's definitely become a case of "once you see it" and while I can deal with it for now, I...

    Gray Smudge Under Screen?

    Hello! I appear to have some sort of gray smudge underneath the screen of my monitor. It shows up primarily on grays and blue colors, and skin colors as well, but is still visible when looking close on other colors. I'm not entirely sure what could be the cause, or if there's any possibility of...

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

    I might give the XI a shot as well, but VX might come first as I can obtain one locally in person rather than having to play monitor tag via UPS. I'm definitely on the right track right now, though, as the XW's color quality has already spoiled me, especially compared to my Asus MX239. I'll...

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

    Amen to that! I also would want to praise them for the AG on the XW. The fact that I'm still considering keeping it despite being a die-hard for glossy screens and picture clarity should speak volumes. This new semi-gloss they're using needs to become the industry standard for semi-gloss...

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

    Yeah, I figured at least some of what I was seeing was SDE because I could see similar stuff even on my iPad/iPhone if I looked for it hard enough. I think I might be seeing something more than that on the XW though, especially after confirmation from NCX and Daniel that bright colors do show...

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

    That's definitely an abnormal amount of bleed. For comparison, here's the 25XW I'm currently using. You say there's no AG whatsoever on your VX? I'm wondering if it would be worth it to return my 25XW while I still can and grab a 25VX from my Best Buy...

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

    Yeah, I've always been finicky with stuff. I returned a first generation PSP like, three times due to dust getting under the screen and driving me nuts, and sometimes I can even see the grain from the projector backing when I go to the movies. Surprisingly, I've become less stingy with dirt on...

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

    Thank you so much for all of the info! I was afraid I might have to bite the proverbial bullet and jump to a 27". I was trying to avoid that and stick with 1080p so I wouldn't have to upgrade my rig so often, but I'm running a first gen GTX 980 STRIX in this thing so I'm not too concerned. If I...

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

    Ah, yes, my bad. The AIO is an HP, and is fully glossy. I don't have the opportunity to double-check right now, but I'll grab some screenshots of brighter games later and try jerking them around on both displays later again to confirm. I'm not sure how accurate of a read I'll get from the AIO...

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

    Hey, quick question about this monitor. I've been using it for a few days and love the overall clairty and color of the display, I've noticed that brighter colors still look a little "foggy" when in motion. Upon closer comparison to my old monitor, an MX239, I can pretty safely rule out the...

    The new GLOSSY AH-IPS Dell S2415H

    Hey, if I might ask, would you happen to know if there are any significant differences between the 25XW and the 25XI? I'm trying to determine if I should try ordering an XW online or purchase an XI locally.

    The new GLOSSY AH-IPS Dell S2415H

    So, I've been looking at the 25xw strongly, and am very close to giving it a shot. Before I make any jump, though, I have a couple of questions. 1) How are the reflections on it? I used to use an iMac in the same environment and am currently using a matte screen. Would the 25xw be sort of...

    Advice for Choosing a Semi-Glossy Gaming Monitor, Possibly?

    Thanks! It's a shame the VG23AH appears to be out of stock everywhere, it looks the most promising for my needs. Trying to find a 1080p monitor that has decent gaming chops and semi-gloss is way harder than I thought it would be. One would think monitor companies would allow you to custom order...

    Advice for Choosing a Semi-Glossy Gaming Monitor, Possibly?

    I'm trying to avoid straight up glossy if at all possible because the room I'm in is full of windows and brightly lit at night. I also don't have the space (or the compy specs, for that matter) to go up past 1080p. If the 2336 isn't the lightest I can go before hitting glossy, then I'm certainly...

    Advice for Choosing a Semi-Glossy Gaming Monitor, Possibly?

    I just tried my Eizo 2336 today and suffice to say, I will most likely be returning it. The grain is just as bad as on the MX239, and mine also came with a very obnoxious blotch right in the center of the screen that I cannot get rid of. My main issue being unresolved is reason enough to be...
