so i bought one of those soyo refurbs, and i got a stuck pixel. It doesn't show up in browsing much (except on black backgrounds) and in games it's maddening. Aside from that it was actually really nice. That being said it's getting passed to my father who doesn't game much and has bad eyesight anyway.
I need a 24 inch monitor, or would prefer one, i have already let go of my 2232bw samsung so I need to buy soon. I need a 2ms response time, because I am one of those small sets of people who are actually bothered by 5.
I primarily game so input lag is a huge issue, however I also do web design, 3d model texturing, and some video work at professional/semi professional level. I already have a graphic designer level crt for when i really need to be anal about colour, so I take take a minor hit, though i really at least want a decent enough reproduction for what will probably be a TN panel (for example, my gf's lg doesn't reproduce as deep and vivid colour as my sammy or the soyo). I know TN cannot reproduce same as an ips or mva, but i'll eat it for the better response time.
Anyway I hear a lot of differing opinions on things so I'd like to hear some other graphics snobs opinions. I know the first opinion is don't get a TN for what I want, but i'll compromise because i realize that no LCD will do everything perfect, Gaming is #1 but colour production should at least be at the better end of what a TN can do.
I got about 300 to spend.
Cliffs:
~300 bucks
24 inch 2ms
low input lag critical
best colour reproduction i can get in an TN or at least similar to a 226bw 2232bw (passable when i dont feel like hooking up my graphic design crt)
gaming top priority, deep vivid colour 2nd
I am anal as hell about stuck/dead pixels.
