nice price. how would three of these be for eyefinity?
These are not so great for competitive FPS gaming, no? So how are these the best monitors for the money? Maybe for Eyeinfinity/surround (i don't know if you can do 120hz in multi monitor), but 60 hz monitors (i can't find anything saying these can do 120hz) aren't good for single monitor users right?

Imho it's all personal preference, but this thread is for a deal on the Dell U2412MOnce you go 120hz you never go back. IPS is nice but unless you need it for color matching-related work, it's got nothing on a 120hz monitor for gaming and overall smoothness of motion.
These dell IPS panels are so overrated. I would go with the Samsung S23A700D, which can be had at tiger direct for $299. It has no anti-glare coating, 120hz refresh, 2ms response time, whites look pure and colors pop. Oh and it does 3d too and once you get the 3d settings dialed in correctly games like Mafia II are outrageous! All of those things the Dell panel can not do and it costs the same money

I got one of these a few months ago. It's been nothing short of amazing.

TN panel=6 bit colours. IPS=8 bit colours.
Wouldn't use anything other than an IPS for my main screen.
Agreed. Been using IPS since 2004, can't stand TN's.
120hz is nice I'm sure, but the picture looks dull and has all kinds of washing-out from viewing angles anyway on a TN, plus lack of depth due to lower color gamut/vibrancy. You're also stuck on 1920x1080 120hz rather than 2560x1600 (double the res) or having good picture quality with eyefinity/nv surround (IPS 1920x1080 60hz with 3x of this thread's deal).
Looks like garbage comparatively for PQ, I guess it can do 3d if you're into that but it'll look terrible for anything else.

I respect you GT, I really do....been reading your posts for a while now and you seem to know your shit...but you are dead wrong here. Colors look awesome on the sammies, the viewing angle is very strong, and there is tons of depth..I was blown away when I replaced my three u2410s with three s27a750s.
My three sammies:

And yes it is possible to rotate the sammies in portrait even though they dont have vesa mounts:
Who needs a VESA mount when you can use a sexy water mount from Zephyrhills like I did?

The "custom" water mounts allow me to rotate my triple S27A750s right into portrait mode no problem!

You don't lose 3D, you just can't use Nvidia's "3D Vision" driver.The Samsungs are nice but IIRC the main problem is that there's no 3DVision support. So for Nvidia users, you lose 3D.

How long is the code good till?
Getting slightly off topic here, but I thought I'd answer this...
You don't lose 3D, you just can't use Nvidia's "3D Vision" driver.
Install the IZ3D driver, select the appropriate display and 3D glasses type, and you're ready to go.
I want this, but at the same time I want a 30"
Anyone @ same boat?
l88bastard, im loving those sammies. im waiting for my xhd3000 to die for good and im thinking i might pick up a set of those when it does. im pretty over the IPS thing. its nice, but not nearly as important to me for video and gaming (no photo editing etc) as size, resolution, and 120hz. those things look thin and light too! anything you dont like about them?
Different comparison photos FTL.I dont buy your argument one bit. I have owned three dell u2410s and I now own three samsung s27a750s.
News to me. NM, then. IPS does not inherently make the panel better - 8-bit does.Grrr.... totally missed that this was a 6 bit panel. Son wants a new monitor anyway, so will probably sell it to him to avoid the minor hassle of returning a monitor. :/
BB
Do you wan the phone number of my ex-girlfriend that put my XHD3000 into early retirement? Im sure her fists of fury could enhance yours too lmao.

I wish we could get higher pixel counts and of course I wish they handled motion as good as CRTs...other than that they are awesome.
