    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    Doesn't the BenQ offer a superior picture quality? And, less input lag as well? Or, there's the Crossover 404k - I'd wait for a real review on it but it is supposed to have the same panel as the Phillips and a flicker free backlight.

    BenQ BL3201PT 4K monitor

    I'm posting here to avoid cluttering the forum with a new thread. I'm in the market myself - like a lot of folks, I do engineering work from a home office, using an eclectic collection of old monitors. My primary is a 27" 1920x1200. I do occasionally watch a movie or game when I'm taking a...

    Philips BDM4065UC - 40" 4K 60Hz monitor thread

    Ok, from the TFT central review, this monitor blurs text at 1080p because even though it's an integer multiple of the resolution, the clear type messes it up. Also, it has a low frequency PWM backlight that flickers at 240hz. Absolutely unacceptable and worthless as a display, I'm not...

    Philips BDM4065UC - 40" 4K 60Hz monitor thread

    Speak for yourself, heh. The blurry text in games is really noticeable to me, especially at menu screens and in text boxes. Do games even use cleartype?

    Philips BDM4065UC - 40" 4K 60Hz monitor thread

    Ok, from doing the math, since this monitor's screen resolution is exactly twice 1920x1080 in both dimensions, then running at 1080p should be perfect with none of the non-native resolution blurriness that you get with LCDs otherwise. It'll be courser, of course, with bigger pixels, but 1080p...

    Eyefinity Configuration Suggestions

    Considering an Eyefinity or Nvidia surround setup. Am leaning towards Nvidia because nvidia also supports 3d much more than ATI cards do. (I know there's a way to do 3d with the iZ3d drivers but with Nvidia you get two ways of doing 3d, not just one, and 3d is very very finicky and game...

    Bitcoin Discussion Thread Part 2

    Lorien : as I said, it works fine for pool mining with the other miners. I did create a worker. Also, even if I had a setting wrong, the OpenCL miner at least gives an error message. Phoenix acts like it doesn't even exist. That link goes to exactly the one I downloaded. Drivers : I have...

    Bitcoin Discussion Thread Part 2

    I have the 2011-07-01 build of guiminer. When I click "new phoenix miner", enter in some info, and click the start mining button, absolutely nothing happens. No error message or anything. It says "stopped" in the lower right hand corner and stays that way. The standard Open CL option works...

    30 Monitors Are In

    How is that n00b? DVI is slightly better quality and I noticed that the cameras appear to be IP cameras. With DVI you'd have a pure digital path all the way to the displays. Also, there are amplifiers for DVI for the cable run distances you are using.

    What is the best quality panel I can buy for a maximum of $450 shipped?

    You can get the u2410 for your price range. You do ebay+bing cashback, or get it from Dell with the 20% off coupon. To do the former, you use the 8% off ebay cashback and get the u2410 from someone offering one with a Dell warranty. I bought mine this way, and got it for $444 total. Had I...

    How does pixel density affect everyday use?

    I also have a 2707WFP, and I have the opposite conclusion. While it is true that visual artifacts in all sorts of content are more noticable - games, movies, etc it also means that default text is much more readable. Even today, there are many software programs that ignore Windows DPI...

    U2711 vs 3008WFP - I need some opinions

    I had a u2711 (got it as a free replacement for an earlier model Dell display) and I sold it on ebay because the pixels were far, far too small for me. Gave me a headache squinting at it. The 3008 you are comparing it to has just a few more pixels but a lot more screen area. I'm considering...

    Looking for a decent monitor, would appreciate advice.

    Not sure, most posters here want high quality displays and won't buy the TN crap. Those LED backlit TVs are not made for the same purpose that a high quality computer display is made for, so the best computer monitors still use CCFLs.

    Looking for a decent monitor, would appreciate advice.

    They don't make LED IPS monitors. For your price range, a Dell 2311h or a u2410 are the IPS screens to consider. Read the threads on those screens here.

    I need a new Monitor for Dual Screens.

    What can you afford? I just found a way to snag a Dell u2410 for $391, and I'm really kicking myself for paying $444 for one just a couple days ago. Those are 24", 1920x1200 resolution+, use an IPS panel, and come calibrated from the factory.

    From 28" to two 22"

    With two smaller screens, you generally have more total pixels to work with, and the way the windows interface is written it's easier to deal with 2 maximized programs at once rather than splitting your screen. However, you do get what you pay for, and those $132 screens of yours have TN...

    HP ZR24w vs Two Dell U2311H

    Read the 2311H thread and find out for yourself. However, since color isn't critical to you and the 2311h is still an IPS screen, it's probably your best bet. Just be prepared to send yours back to Dell a few times until you get a good one (evidently the quality control on a 2311H is spotty)

    backlight bleed along edge common even on expensive monitors?

    If it's along part of one edge, then it's a manufacturing defect. If it's along the entire edge, then it's probably a function of the design of the display. If it's a manufacturing defect, call up the manufacturer and get it replaced. Part of the cost of a 1k display is to cover the cost of...

    Looking for a new display...

    That's a TN panel, isn't it? At that price point, it probably is. 18 months ago I bought my first decent display : I paid $460 for a 27" professional dell display with a PVA panel (a big step up from TN) from ebay. Crucially, it still had remaining warranty - don't buy a used or new monitor...

    Best 2560x1600 primarily for gaming?

    Well, a gamut that's a little bit too wide is ok. I'm actually using a display right now for general everything that has a gamut that is a little wider than sRGB, and it is not in emulation mode. The problem comes when the manufacturer goes overboard and gives the display a HUMONGOUS gamut...

    For a wide gamut display, is an sRGB emulation mode needed for PC gaming?

    Incorrect in every way. High budget games have all artwork created by professional artists who used displays calibrated to sRGB

    Best 2560x1600 primarily for gaming?

    I looked at the specs : this display sounds like it does everything right, but the cost is probably considerably more than it makes sense to spend. I just want a decent quality 30 inch screen that works with everything I throw at it, not just ultra specialized applications. These wide gamut...

    Picture of text on a 25"-28" 1920X1080 monitor, please?

    Because a photo won't tell you much. I was going to have taken one, but am missing my usb cable. Truth is, text looks great on any lcd monitor, even the cheap crappy ones. It's just about the easiest possible thing to display - black on white and stationary. Even a shitty TN panel can manage...

    Best 2560x1600 primarily for gaming?

    Not in a way that won't lose quality. Without a 10-bit interface to the display, any color correction not done in hardware will cause a loss of quality by reducing available color. Basically, no, an older and cheaper sRGB monitor will still look lots better than a wide gamut display that lacks...

    Best 2560x1600 primarily for gaming?

    Consider carefully. I received one of those u2711 as a replacement for one of the 2707wfps I already had. I found that the teensy pixel size was flat out unacceptable, and I sold it on ebay. Remember, a u2711 has almost as many pixels as a standard 30 inch display, crammed into a...

    Best 2560x1600 primarily for gaming?

    I'd recommend that you check and make sure this one is not also a wide gamut display. This model also lacks scaling chips and hardware controls.

    Monitor for photography

    Probably, but you bro has a pretty low budget. A display that gives consistent colors with an IPS panel costs about twice as much as a display with a cheap, shitty TN panel. So to fit within the budget, you'll end up with a smaller display with fewer pixels...but at least the colors will be...

    Best 2560x1600 primarily for gaming?

    I just purchased a u2410 to pair up with my existing 27" display. I had wanted to sell this 27" display and to upgrade to a 30" display, and this one was going to be the one I bought. I'm reading the u2410 thread and they have this onging sRGB versus wide gamut debate. Well, the solution...

    Best 2560x1600 primarily for gaming?

    That's the problem : You can't Recalibrate it because they left off hardware controls!!!! Games and most applications do not read or pay attention to software color profiles! If they had paid for the chips that are in more expensive billion color displays, such as the u2711, we wouldn't be...

    Next release of what? Windows? I can link you to a post by a Microsoft developer apologizing that high color support isn't in current Win7 but promising he will try to get it into the next version. The plan is to give the extra colors negative numbers so that normal, color profile blind sRGB...

    Is there symmetry? There should be reddish fringes where light and dark stuff meet elsewhere, in some cases, where you are seeing the other subpixels at work.

    For a wide gamut display, is an sRGB emulation mode needed for PC gaming?

    Some displays yes, a few do not. The u2410 has a very good (according to TFT central), factory calibrated sRB emulation mode, which is why I just ordered one. Notably, the zr30w, a display capable of extremely wide gamut from HP (it does a billion colors over a WIDER gamut than adobe RGB)...

    Best 2560x1600 primarily for gaming?

    I got it from Brian Klug at Anandtech. He admitted to me in a series of emails that this is a massive problem, but told me he thought the display panel itself was still fantastic. (a billion colors IS impressive) He is hopelessly optimistic that deep color support (10-bit) is just a few...
