If you can wait a couple more months... I think prices will continue to drop. This holiday season sale wasn't very good and retailers will react by probably aggressively discounting further on the next holiday..
Yeah I've used the older version of Apple 27" cinema displays for gaming via PC as well. It is mind blowing.... The colors are very vibrant.. but I hear that if get a U3011 it's so much more worth it..
Um.. if you're looking for good colors I would recommend you to do IPS or VA... TN would be the fastest for FPS gaming, but I wouldn't exactly consider BF3 and skyrim FPS games, but then that would depend on your own perspective.
If you want FPS monitors then it's pretty much TN based 120hz...
I agree to go with Dell, but not necessarily true about the service. Because whatever brand you get you will only have valid warranty within the United States, therefore Dell Canada will not provide warranty for your monitor. Unless policies have changed recently, I believe that should still be...
Have you thought about VA panel based monitors? They're not as good for heavy FPS gaming, but it sounds like that isn't your main focus anyway. Although most people complain about VA panel's ghosting and what not, I use one for gaming myself and don't see any ghosting or lag. Perhaps because I'm...
Seriously?! Have you actually seen one? That sounds a bit unlikely to be true... given it's Taobao.com I doubt it's legit. And that would cost a fortune to manufacture because that is really customized panel sizes which are not scaled for production...
Take a look at the BenQ XL2420T, it's brand new. And it has some cool features that most monitors don't have. They have a scaling system which lets you adjust through the OSD to change the screen size from widescreen to 4:3. Also they have a new black equalizer system which allows you to...
Have you checked out the new XL2420T? It's got some pretty cool new features. And they redesigned it so now you can do eyefinity setups!
I think one of the cool features is the onboard black equalizer which allows you to specifically target dark areas on the screen and brighten them...
Lol, so true.. learn to keep be happy with what you have, otherwise you'll always be miserable about what you don't have. My wife reminds me that I should keep that in mind with what I have with her so I don't go around with 'others' :D
The EW2430 is a great monitor and it'll produce the great picture quality that you'd want for high def movies. Since you don't game then this monitor will provide you with all the things you need. Gaming is the monitor's weak point because a lot of people feel that the response time isn't fast...
I believe that VA is the best for text reading. VA LED backlit. LED will help with longer duration of reading and cause less eyestrain. VA helps with extremely accurate and sharp detail, better than TN or IPS
Sorry, I should have further broke it down, but
3D gaming
or
120hz gaming?
Because although most all 120hz monitors are equipped with 3D gaming capabilities. Not all of them are great for 3D gaming... some models are better than others. Same with 120hz.
The XL2420TX will be perfect for your needs and it'll come in true 24" :)
Since you have multiple consoles this monitor will also be perfect since it has so many ports. It has dual HDMI so you can connect your Xbox360 and PS3 through those, and DVI to your PC and you'll still have display port...
That's nice... I wish money wasn't an issue for my setups as well haha. But yes,
20" x 30" x 20" is nice. My boss has that at the office... I envy him...
I would definitely recommend the XL2420T. I just realized that it is probably the most versatile and adaptable gaming out there. The sweet part about this new model is that it's truly 24" (most 120hz are 23.6") and is still LED backlit. It offers all sorts of display inputs. I know not many...
Yeah, it's not a TN panel monitor. Plus I don't think the MD230 would be great for gaming, if FPS gaming is what you play... response is a bit slow... that's the downside of VA panels.
Have you considered 120hz TN monitors?
Wow, seriously? The HP P1230 is like a tank man... it's over 60 pounds LOL. I remember the days when I had a CRT. I hated them... I'd personally give up the slightly faster response (even if it really is) and take a 120hz LED backlit LCD, but that's just me. I mean I guess the major plus is that...
I would look at the XL2410T if you're looking for a bargain 120hz monitor. The XL2420T is going to be released soon and I'm pretty sure they're going to almost certainly lower the price for the XL2410T. It's already at a bargain rate at the moment. I've always thought that the AW2310 is a bit...
I think there isn't any new VA panel monitor from BenQ recently? They have the new XL2420T which is pretty cool though!
Is there something you want to update with pitbull haha
Honestly on 2nd thoughts, go with Samsung. I would imagine they have much better position in America and offer better customer service and repair stations if something were to go wrong.
BenQ has has numerous series of VA paneled monitors... Are you interested in going back to them?
For example I have the EW2420 and it's a great monitor. I'm sure it'll produce similar or superior experience to what you had with your old FP241W. It's LED backlit so the colors should last a bit...
