    Should I upgrade to Ivy Bridge?

    Only in certain games, or in particular when heavy multitasking like streaming a video encoding while playing a game. Apart from a couple specific things like that, I haven't yet felt "OH GOD THIS IS TAKING FOREVER" but to be honest upgrading now would probably make me realize things were taking...

    Should I upgrade to Ivy Bridge?

    So I built my last PC with near-new parts towards the end of 2009, and had a couple minor upgrades over the years so far. My next plan for a total PC rebuild is going to be Skymont in 2014/2015, so looking for a boost in the meantime to last me the next 2-3 years. Current PC specs are: Intel...

    Dell U2312HM

    I exchanged mine, you can see my posts a page or two back. I ordered three and they were all Rev A01, Mfg Aug 2011, as were the two replacements I got. Of those five, two are perfect, two have a very low buzz that is lower than my old TN (still wish it was no buzz though) and one was so loud of...

    Dell U2312HM

    Following up on my above. Got my two replacements, also manufacturing date August 2011, Rev A01, looks like brand new, not refurbished. They sent it out overnight shipping when they finally got around to approving the exchange so that's nice at least. So here's the end results of the 5 monitors...

    Dell U2312HM

    I do have them all, it's been a pain in the ass going through the Dell tech support to get new ones on the way. Got redirected like 7 times between customer service and tech support. All of mine are Rev A01, manufacturing date Aug 2011. I requested two replacements, that way if only one of the...

    Dell U2312HM

    Just got my three in from Black Friday. The first of them seems perfect, no issues that I can tell at all. The second had a very loud obvious buzz at 98 brightness and below, will be exchanging this, didn't even bother to test for pixels or anything else. The third has a very low buzzing at...

    Dell u2312HM Questions

    No HDMI and no sound support. There's a Dell soundbar for speakers you can buy separately but you may as well buy real speakers if you want that. Hooking up a PS3 to this monitor generally would be considered a bad idea, especially if that is relegating your PC to be hooked up via VGA. If your...

    What's the current revision shipping out for the U2312HM? A02?

    Dell U2212HM

    Haha yeah that's what Bloodflowerz said as well... I think that will probably be the deciding factor that makes me go with the U2312HM instead. I was totally all for losing 1.5" diagonal and getting better contrast while saving a few bucks, but I just think that that's far too much of a...

    Dell U2212HM

    If you wanna go for it by all means take a shot :) I'm pretty sure most places would let you exchange it within 30 days, anyways, if something like the input lag is just too high. A really high contrast ratio is really tempting on an IPS monitor, but since I would be playing a bunch of games...

    Dell U2212HM

    Yes, then pretty please haha. I really appreciate that, thank you very much. I think I will pass on the U2212HM this time around then, I was wondering if they used the same panel as the ZR2240W since the input lag numbers on that were pretty disconcerting. I was hoping that Dell might have...

    Does a 1920x1200@120Hz monitor even exist?

    I understand the concept you are trying to get across, but then the argument that comes up is "what should the standard X and Y be that we go up and down from". Which kinda then just rolls back to the "what aspect ratio is perfect" argument. You have to start from something for that method...

    Dell U2212HM

    TFTcentral review is out apparently, but they've decided you have to pay for them starting now, or wait a month. Really really frustrated at that, they were the only site I know of who has actually measured the U2212HM (maybe prad.de too? but also a paysite) and I was looking to pick up a few...

    Does a 1920x1200@120Hz monitor even exist?

    You can blame us if you'd like, but it's not really our fault for continuing to use a system that works well for a huge majority of the end-users. Most people playing video games do so on either a 4:3 TV/monitor (less and less common, and less desire to support primarily) or a 16:9. 16:10 and...
