    Which one should I buy?

    I'll respond for the Dell U2412M: -- Matte screen -- Sharp picture via DisplayPort or DVI input (haven't used VGA) -- 6-bit IPS panel--I have no complaints about the color gamut, but an 8-bit panel might be better for someone in the photography, graphics or design fields

    newbie looking for monitor advice!

    The ASUS VS24AH-P and Dell U2412 are both 1920x1200, where the rest are 1920x1080. For gaming I don't think that really tends to matter as much (still nice to have!), but for pretty much everything else, the 120 extra vertical pixels are well worth it. I have the U2412 (actually 3 of them)...

    New GAMING PC Build Advice

    ATI is, at this point, mostly habit for me. (Also, I run 3 monitors which had been ATI only until the last year or so). In all honesty, the GTX 760 for a similar price is as good or better than the 7950 in most respects. Monitors: I've had a Samsung like this...

    First full build in a decade

    Looks good, probably would spend the extra and go with the WD Black drive instead of the Blue. 5yr warranty instead of 2, and I believe it's a bit faster.

    Are there ever any deals on EA PC DLC?

    Unfortunately, DLC sales are somewhere between "super-rare" and "never" on Origin. (Although that trend may be changing since there is _some_ DLC on sale right now, although not for NFSMW.)

    Dell U2412M for coding/gaming

    XFX Radeon HD 6990 Drawing!

    XFX has the best warranty policy in the business by far. My XFX Radeon 4890 is still running great, but a 6990 would certainly be a huge upgrade.

    Samsung P2770 - Anyone seen them in stock?

    After roughly ten months (so far) of using this monitor, I thought I might give some observations, as they are still available at Costco. For a TN panel monitor, the color isn't too bad. However, the size combined with TN viewing angles (which suck) means that you have to get the monitor...

    Samsung P2770 - Anyone seen them in stock?

    I have no earthly idea why this monitor isn't on Samsung's website or at most online merchants. It's not a bad monitor, given the caveat about it being a TN panel rather than an IPS. And it's 27". Mine doesn't hum, if it makes you feel any better. My connection is via DVI, though, and it's...

    Samsung P2770 - Anyone seen them in stock?

    Bought one at Costco a couple of weeks ago for $350. It's a nice monitor for games, Blu-ray movies, etc. Photoshop or graphics type work requiring color precision would be much better served with an IPS monitor, though.
