Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
LG is a little better for motion and consoles, Dell slightly better for HDR. Buy from a store with a good return policy because both have quality control issues.
Wide gamut = oversaturated and inaccurate colours when displaying sRGB content if lacking colour-gamut conversion function. Eizo should have an good sRGB mode.
1. VA monitors have good blacks, for an LCD, but VA is bad at motion (some transitions) so your options are very limited to IPS with Advanced True Wide polarizer. Eizo makes such monitors like the ColorEdge series including the older, yours, CX241. Unfortunately this monitors are wide gamut so...
DisplayPort 1.4 = DisplayPort 1.3 plus data compression (doesn’t increase the overall transmission bandwidth). All GPUs with support for DP 1.3 will support DP 1.4. The market will jump from DP 1.2 to 1.4, skipping DP 1.3 entirely.
The contrast ratio of an IPS panel can be as low as 500:1 and as high as 1200+
For some high-end series, brands like HP pay more to ensure that no panel has a CR lower than 900:1 for exemple.
Of course this is not the case with ASUS, an ultra low monitor brand like Acer etc.
If you want high...
All this 1080p monitors LG 24MPxxHQ 24MPxxVQ 24MBxxPH 24MBxxPY, Samsung S24Dxxx S24Exxx, Dell P and U series use 6-Bit with FRC panels which perform similar and suffer from some backlight bleed. It's just luck if you buy one without bleed.
There are 23.8" AHVA and 25" IPS QHD panels in production.
ASUS VX24AH, ASUS PB258Q, DELL P2416D, DELL U2515H utilises this panels.
For 120+Hz ASUS MG279Q (600 USD) in the next weeks.
Yes wide gamut with A-TW polariser was a strange experience for me too.
Dell U2713H utilises an LM270WQ3 panel without polariser and glow much more than sRGB monitors.
Let's hope for 144Hz IPS sRGB with polariser.
