Hey everyone !
My Dell U2312hm which I got back in 2012 thanks to (as always) great advices here is getting long in the tooth. I really like the display but it lacks hdmi and have rather bad blacks and bad uniformity/ips glow. Not ideal for movies and gaming in dark room.
I am a bit on a tight budget to get another screen. Still looking for buyer of u2312hm (Poland btw) but I am already scouting the area. So without overdue:
I want 16:9 screen. Not sure if I it should be curved but dont think I want this feature(or have a budget for one). Probably 1080p because of performance. I need vga, dvi and hdmi inputs.
Aspect ratio 4:3 option is super important. It helps a lot in older games.
What is most important for me is black levels. I want as close to life black levels. No ips glow and uniformity. Some of my fav games like Dark Souls or The Darkness are very Dark. Watching movies or shows like Knick or Game of Thrones also would benefeit from good black levels.
As for the size, not sure how my limited budget will allow but 23 to 27 inches I guess is ok. Don't need or want pivot. Can be glossy - don't matter.
So far I've found that I probably need some type of VA monitor. Maybe AMVA or AMVA+. And only Benq and iiyama are making those on rather cheap side.
Any opinions or help ?
thanks
