    Any good gaming monitors exist? Everything is crap!

    No it doesn't [work]. You just took a phone pic that shows an object that emits light, that's all. He asked for a macro picture of the coating.

    Dell U2414h

    For fullscreen photoviewing, 16:10 matches better with the 3:2 photos than 16:9 Between the U2415 and U2515h; the 25" has 13mm less viewable area and a much higher pixelpitch. If you have any use for smaller pixels depends on your eyes, viewing distance and if you like to get into the mess...

    Any good gaming monitors exist? Everything is crap!

    I mainly see a crappy jpg from a noisy picture. But still I can see the backlightbleeding. But whatever; you can manipulate surroundings to make it look better or worse. Most people with bad screen settings probably will see one huge black area. Colors and brightness to the human eye are all...

    At first I had a CorePad EyePad or something like that (very similar, different name), but when I bought that Steelseries QcK mini for another place I noticed how much smoother the gliding was on the new pad compared to my 7(?) year old greased-up pad. I has been washed now, but I think it's...

    Less dust on the desk vs the floor. And the floor is occupied by file cabinets that support the desk and my subwoofer. Also standard-length display cables for a 20-30-20 PLP setup ends up tricky with tower on the floor. Monitor on top of the case doesn't work anymore with the current 0.6mm...

    I like the lower thermal conductivity of my mouse pad vs my desk. Just for that I would use a pad. Another reason being that the surface of my desktop is not 100% flat, there are some very local imperfections that the mouse pad helps smooth over. I am using the Steelseries QcK mini.

    Dell U3415W Dual Monitor Options!?

    Euh no, that's 10% off. 1440x900 on 17" is 100 DPI, the 34" 3440x1440 screens are 110 DPI. Or pixelpitch of 0,255 mm for these 17" and 0,232 mm for the 34". Plus they can't be bought new. Facebook is a waste regardless of screen :)

    Any good gaming monitors exist? Everything is crap!

    More like you value the $500 in pocket more than you miss the 160 pixels. All in all it does matter. No such thing as a nice looking PLP setup with the middle being a 27" 16:9 I know someone that went from 30" to 27", but very soon after that he bought a 2nd 27", and that one now is used...

    Any good gaming monitors exist? Everything is crap!

    Yes. Too bad all 16:10 there is is either only 1920x1200 or $1K and stupid on other things. Take my Dell U3014 for example; some intern that wrote the overdrive spec thought "more is better". Overshoot is ridiculous on that thing. But I enjoy the 2560x1600. Would have preferred 2560x1920...

    160 Hz is only a much lower resolutions 4K it can't even do ;) And too bad they aren't made new anymore.

    How to identify input lag?

    You guys are making it way too complicated. Input lag = the time between the monitor receiving a signal and sending that out to be displayed. For serious gaming you don't want any fancy over-overdrive, dynamic contrast or other bull, so it simply should be 0. Compare it to customs checking...

    You don't need to set it from RAID to AHCI? You can run a single disk just fine on a controller set to RAID.

    inevitable 950 pro vs. intel 750 thread...

    Everything Samsung I bought failed. Everything Samsung I see with people around me fails way too soon. To me, the entire company seems to be building stuff that is build to minimize failures before the warranty runs out, everything else be damned. That's why this question is an easy one; Intel!

    Dell U3415W Dual Monitor Options!?

    The sadness of 16:9 dominance; need to flip a screen to get decent vertical space, but then stuck with very little horizontal space. At least x1440 tends to be enough for some things. I myself have 2560x1600 with two 2007FP's on the side; perfect match for pixelsize. But they (or an update)...

    Any good gaming monitors exist? Everything is crap!

    You're right, it's all crap. It's all 16:9; a ridiculous aspect ratio for desktop use Well, all except the few like Dell U2415, some LG's of the same size and the 30" monitors, the latter being crap for several other reasons (even besides price). Better aspect ratio's like 3:2 are more...

    How to identify input lag?

    20ms input lag is a total joke for serious gaming in shooters. Rubbish, trash, unusable, not worthy of a single dollar!! You might just as well down a few beers before the competition if you think 20 ms is ok... What don't you understand about CRT? Whatever is being output by the VGA output...

    When will USB 3.1 become "common" on motherboards?

    Who needs it at present? Hardware.info used two mSata Samsung 850 EVO's to proof a point about sequential read and write of two of those drives RAID 0'd in a USB 3.1 enclosure (it was faster than over USB 3.0) See; https://youtu.be/IFgs_6TteYk?t=8m44s Too bad 4K QD32 is only about 8% compared...

    Games creating weird color profile

    Are you doing the custom color on the monitor itself or on the PC? Do you have anything under "Color Management" in Windows? What version of Windows are you running? If W10, I'm out of here; waste of time.

    Games creating weird color profile

    Allows more functions of the monitor to be changed by the computer. For example; brightness. You could use this to adjust brightness of the backlight based on time of day etc. Or to swap from one "profile" to the other when launching certain applications. Example; Dell U3014; when...

    Dell U2515H

    That's a software issue; has nothing to do with the U2515h. I've seen others report the same btw. Do you use any calibration software by any chance? Or did you allow Win update to install some junk of that category? Maybe if you want to use DDC/CI to the max you need that. Otherwise; don't...

    Official Dell u2413 Thread

    Ideally you use the CAL mode with your preferred color space and a i1 display pro. Different color spaces can be a b*tch. If you don't need the fancyness with the larger color space you're better off with a U2415
