Yes I have searched, a lot. I am in the market for a new monitor as my current 19" Dell ( 1907FP) is really old and the 4:3 ratio is bugging me.
The issue I have is that I feel reviews make you want these impossible specs that you don't need. So a little guidance would be appreciated.
I watch a lot of movies at my PC and lean back (and thus down) in my seat. This TN monitor's contrast gets all crappy just a few degrees below horizontal. I know IPS has good off-axis viewing, but I have seen photos that make it look like its best side-to-side, not above/below head on. Am I out of luck in that regard? (I know I could just tilt it every time but I'm lazy :-P )
I play a lot of types of games and have never experienced input lag or ghosting etc.... So this is where I feel reviews might be blowing things out of proportion for me. This is the only LCD monitor I've ever had since I stuck with my CRT for so long. My lack of experience with LCDs makes me nervous.
I'm looking for a 24-27" monitor under $450 or so. Most signs point to the 2412 or something, but if a TN is all I'll need.... I'll save the cash and spend it on other components.
Only nit pick I may have is back light bleed. I have seen it in friends setups and that would be something that might bug me.
Thanks for any suggestions [H]-ers.
