Hi
As a U2713HM owner I'd like to comment. Seems like you have a good panel generally. Glad to hear you're not experiencing any issues with it in general use.
What you're seeing on the top pictures is likely IPS glow, since the pictures are taken at a (small) angle. If you really want to...
For your information, I do not see the vertical lines on the image with a pattern (REV A00, July 2012). Looking at the grey parts, I cannot tell any difference between those images full screen.
The buzz can be demonstrated with your test image (and the frequency indeed changes with zooming)...
Prad.de states that these test were run at native resolution for both monitors. I coudn't find that statement on TFTcentral, but their input lag test program (SMTT 2) is quite advanced, so you may assume they test under the right conditions.
Seems like a reasonable choice to me. You could also...
The U2412 is known to have a very low input lag. I had this monitor for a short time and I did not notice any input lag when playing Battlefield at all.
The difference in input lag can be compared in these reviews:
U2412M...
I have edited my review post and included that I did notice some minor input lag in FPS shooters. I can't give a definite conclusion, because I don't have the monitor for that long.
Does your current monitor have any input lag (based on reviews etc.)? If you come from a monitor with near...
I'd like to share my thoughts on the U2713HM I bought last week.
Generally I'm pleased with this monitor. Its strength is definitely the large size, as well as the detailed image (high pixel density). I also like the coating, which is indeed semi-matte. Coming from a regularly coated IPS...
Hi ck777
Personally I would advise against the Asus VH242H, since it will have rather poor viewing angles (being a TN based monitor). IPS panels (like the Dells) are much more suited.
Although a 23" is ok for flight sims, you may like the extra height of a 24" 16:10 panel (such as the U2412)...
What I find striking is the difference between the brightness measurements of Prad and TFT Central. Prad's display was significantly brighter at maximum brightness (100%) (Prad: 431 cd/m² vs. TFT Central: 319.2 cd/m²), as well as at minimum brightness (0%) (Prad: 52 cd/m² vs. TFT Central: 19.5...
I had a mixed experience with the U2412M I bought. The image and build quality were very good. The backlight was very uniform and I was pleased with the AG coating (having used a NEC ea231WMi for the past two years).
Unfortunately the PWM flickering bothered me too much. Especially on large...
Have you considered that the Dell U2711 is a wide gamut monitor? The screen can display a wider range of colors, but this means your games will look more saturated than originally intended.
Perhaps you have already found these interesting reviews: U2711 and U2312HM. Have you also considered...
"32 bit" is indeed just 24 bit (8 bits per channel) plus an extra channel (which isn't used to display colors). You may want to look it up for more information.
Bottom line is that what Windows calls "32 bit", is actually just 24 bits. So this monitor can display all the colors you need.
Hi all.
Since these forums have been useful for me trying to decide on my monitor, I will post my impressions on the NEC.
Just so you know my situation: I was most interested in this NEC and the Dell U2410 to replace my 4,5 year old Benq FP937s+ (TN panel). Since the Benq started failing...
It costs 664 here, that's about $987.
If it were half the price, I would have bought it. But since my old TFT is failing now, I'm inclined to prefer the NEC EA231wmi.
I would also like to know more about this graininess. I wonder whether it would bother me. My old TFT has a "soft" coating I guess (although I don't really know).
Is the graininess always visible or does it show up when light is reflected on the screen? I've read that the effect more or less...
Just a remark. I understand that the dithering has to be performed because the wide gamut panel doesn't have 8 bit per channel in sRGB mode (some bits are in the wider gamut).
If the panel is indeed 8 bit per channel, there is no way it can display sRGB correctly. Meaning that, even in a...
