i am a heavy computer user games and spend a lot of time at my pc; so what would you get!?!?
 
yeah this has turned into a nightmare for me the options are driving me batty
 
Same :p

I think I'm going to get the HP IPS panel though.

Hopefully I can get my receiver mounted up high soon, cause I'm going to need all 52" of desktop for monitors.
 
I'm in the same boat as you guys. I have a feeling I'm going to end up with the TOC series.
 
yeah im leaning towards the acer i can not place order till tomorrow though heh
 
I was going to get the Samsung TOC T240 until I saw this beauty. What downsides are there to this monitor? 10,000 DC, 2ms response, HDMI, what is there not to like?
 
I feel better knowing that there are this many people having trouble deciding on which 24" screen to get. I am a big fan of samsung displays and will most likely end up getting one of them, most likely the Samsung T240HD. I think :p.
 
I ended up getting the HP IPS panel. Hopefully it will be here this week. I'll make sure to post up when it arrives :D
 
Eh, that HP is a glossy screen. Doesn't that make every single little bit of light reflect off of the monitor?

but I like looking at myself :)

but in all seriousness, it's not that bad unless you have a spotlight behind you.

Hmmm, I just got the Samsung TOC T240 yesterday at BB and may have to take it back. So far I've only played two games on it; COD WAW and Far Cry 2.

With COD WAW I'm having terrible "afterglow ghosting" anywhere there's suppose to be reflection, i.e. while riding in the landing craft heading toward the beach head I get the waters surface reflection coming right through the landing craft about chest high. Then while in a jungle mission while following the shallow river trail I get the same surface reflection from the water that hangs around for several seconds (no joke!) when I move the mouse around for looking or aiming, etc. Then theres a faint glitter effect in the outline of far away buildings ect.

In Far Cry 2 with no AA, I get very slight motion blur anytime my character is riding in a vehicle or if you look around too fast. It is only slight, but its over the entire 24" screen area and that is a bit annoying. I've yet to try BIA HH or Crysis Warhead but I've not played those for a while.

This is really a shame because it's an awesome monitor for the working desktop. Anyone know of any tweaks that would ease these issues; so I won't have to return it? I have no knowlege of tweaking the monitor itself, so I've not done anything there.

Running Intel E8400
4GB DDR2
8800GT x 2 SLI
Resolution of 1920 x 1200, no AA, auto on AF

Boy do I feel dumb! I finally got around to installing the monitor drivers for Vista and all I can say is "WOW", what a difference it made. Completely corrected the above issues. Didn't do anything for the viewing angle, but hey, I think I can live with that!!!
