I was planning on googling around for impressions once it'd been out for a few weeks, as I wouldn't dream of bothering with 28" 4K unless W10 has dramatically improved its scaling. The amount of font nastiness and outright broken UI elements I've seen on Windows 8 4K pairings shows the work ahead.

lol okay sorry to make you repeat yourself. I read that as there being a non-glossy IPS line (like the P-series) as well as a glass IPS line (like the S-series), and not a glossy-and-glass line being one and the same. Apologies, but at least we're all set on AG filters now, I feel! I'll be...

Wait, so you're saying the Dell S-series (glass-coated 1080p AH-IPS) have an anti-glare filter underneath the glass? Or am I misunderstanding and you're saying the rest of the non-glossy and non-glass IPS use a grainy matte coating? I hope I'm misunderstanding, as that configuration sounds...

Hardness has kind of become a misnomer for describing anti-glare filters, and I guess I've reluctantly adopted it too, as whenever I hear someone complain about a "hard" AG filter it's also described as heavy, grainy, or even sparkly. I've never seen anything other than 3H on panel info, so I...

Yeah, I don't think Dell has made (edit: introduced/launched, I should say) a hard AG display since 2011 (I'm still running a U2711 from 2010), and the 2012-launched U2713HM is absolutely semi-gloss. I'm glad to see they've finally launched a replacement, as I think Dell's 2012 and 2013...

I wouldn't be so quick to scoff at the adjoining "high quality" to TN. I felt there was considerable difference in color and viewing angles between the Asus VG248QE and my BenQ XL2720T. The former was unbearable, to my eyes, even after trying different color profiles and adjusting the...

The DisplayPort 1.3 spec was just announced, and is expected to be ratified Q2 2014 with end-products by 2015. This will bring both 8K and 4K @120Hz, so perhaps now that even VA can manage 120Hz (e.g. Eizo Foris FG2421) we'll see either/both VA/IPS in 4K @120Hz by 2015 or 2016. It's exciting...

Sounds like you've made your decision, but one thing I wanted to mention to Brahmzy is that I found the viewing angles perfectly palatable once I lowered my XL2720T on its sliding vertical stand. I was used to viewing a 2560x1440 IPS at the top of the stand--eyes middle of the screen--and I...

The biggest difference is that the VG278H includes the IR emitter and 3D glasses, and is therefore predictably more expensive. If you're wondering about the VG278HE, it almost assuredly uses the same panel as the newer XL2720T. Prad measured slightly higher input lag (5.1ms versus 3.4ms) in...

They're just about all LED now instead of older CCFL (my U2711 can get quite warm because of these), but unfortunately I don't think this has any bearing on IPS/PLS glow. They all have it in some form, and it's just a reminder that every LCD panel type has its own problems, and it's just what...

That's what I should've said were I not cursed with both long-windedness and an inability to be truly blunt. But exactly, there's much better competition out now, and manufacturers have finally decoupled the whole "professional" (as related to wide-gamut backlighting for very specific...

I've had my U2711 for nearly three years now (got it on sale for a whopping $850 back when they were $1100 MSRP), and have been generally very happy with it. The step up from 1050/1080p to 1440p is just massive, and it's very liberating to have such an expansive play/workspace. The colors are...

It's not so much some snooty colorimetry thing where I turn up my nose at something slightly off spec, but rather I didn't know if VA had similar color shifts (in addition to their established gamma shifts) to TN--something for which I have no tolerance. I was also concerned about VA struggling...

That's good to hear about the no PWM dimming (or at least of a high enough frequency so as not to distract), but I have to ask: which bothered you more, the S2740L's overshoot or the C750P's "obvious color smearing" with darker colors? I appreciated your 27" 1080p comparisons in the Default...

Only the HM looks to be offered in the US, but I see the HS of which you speak when I hop over to BenQ's EU section. The only difference I can immediately observe is the HS' narrower bezel and lower 3000:1 static contrast (versus the HM's 5000:1). Since this is static--not useless dynamic--and...

Resident display guru NCX recently reviewed Samsung's S27C750P, a 27" 1080p VA monitor that just launched. He said the input lag is very low, it can overclock to 72Hz, and though the motion performance isn't quite that of TN or even IPS, it has the monumentally better black levels you'd expect...

The two 3.5" hot-swap bays are in the primary compartment. The other side only has 2.5" drive bays, so unless you're running RAID 7200RPM laptop HDDs with your ODDs ripping blu-rays non-stop, then the PSU won't be intaking anything warm. I mean, the thing looks like a window air conditioner...

Oh, well in my region (US), it's $175 difference ($290/465), representing a 60% price premium for around +27% total area, all features being equal. I guess that's not too terribly steep a diminished return, but either way, I still might consider the 27" or BenQ's XL2720T to run in portrait next...

It's just this one arrow in TN's quiver that has piqued my interest enough to try a 120/144Hz display in addition to my existing IPS. I remember why I binned my TN and got an IPS in the first place, and I'd never return to the former in an either/or situation. But perhaps in a supplementary...

I'm curious, xoleras, what have you heard/experienced about BenQ's 24/27" 120Hz quality that differentiates it from Asus? I remember reading that the XL2420 was capable of surprisingly good colors for a TN once calibrated, but since the new 27" version is likely sharing the same panel as the...

I've had my U2711 for nearly three years now, and though I've been mostly happy with it, I was completely ignorant of input lag when I purchased it in 2010, and had simply never heard of RTC or the dance between pixel response and overshoot that manufacturers play (hence the adjustable overdrive...

I hear you BETA., as my sole issue (though it's personally a big one when gaming) with my current U2711 is the input lag, and if the U2713H--which happens to be on a $850 sale--would just use the U2413 or U3014's fantastic Game Mode then I'd get it in a heartbeat. I don't need the extra...

The GB-LED will enable the wide color gamut that the common WLED cannot muster while reducing the power consumption from the CCFLs of yesteryear. I'd love to hear what more people know about these units and/or if they have better color than the older WCG-CCFLs. As for TFT Central's review...

That's good to hear about the game mode, and thanks for the response, Drags. It's indeed a little disappointing to see the contrast stagnate, and I do wonder why the U2913WM has roughly 1/3rd higher contrast, but I'm just happy to see a nice 1920x1200 IPS live on with both light AG and low...

It's so encouraging to see the U2413's effective use of Game Mode in tftcentral's review, as it slashes the input lag (or simply lag, as they now call it) by nearly 2/3rds. With my three-year old Dell U2711 (and its accompanying ~30ms input lag) as a baseline, I took my friend's Dell S2740L...
