Contract Killer 24 Posted May 22, 2011 I am in the market for a new monitor, obviously for gaming, surfing the web, and the occasional photoshop. Currently I have a 22" Gateway Widescreen, looking for 23" and up, at least 1920x1080 or 1200. Price range is around $300, though $400 is tops. I've looked around, but am lost when it comes to monitors, so all suggestions are welcome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paperwastage 0 Posted May 22, 2011 i just love my 2xDell 2209WA eIPS screens.... they don't lag too much for gaming, but its only 1680x1050are you planning to dual screen? if so and you want to dualscreen gaming, its best to get the same resolution monitor, preferably the same size as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Contract Killer 24 Posted May 22, 2011 No, I plan on one screen, and I have a smaller screen off to the side for itunes and such.I was thinking of an IPS, specifically the Dell U2311H, but was worried of the lack of HDMI port, and have read reviews of a pinkish tint on half the screen.

TURKISH RAMBO 9 Posted May 22, 2011 the only concern with IPS panels is a bit of a blue glow when viewed from angles. gorgeous monitor otherwise for the money. Its 1080p(16:9), but personally im not too affected by that.otherwise colour is near perfect. Ideal for photoshop and editing. mac book pros use IPS, thats why many people use them for photoshop. (unless you get ridiculous expensive monitors)No built in speakers, has display port,VGA and DVI. Pretty sure it comes with DVI - HDMI. I never needed itand overall, very solid monitor. All monitors part of the ultra-sharp series are great Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(unless you get ridiculous expensive monitors)actually macbook pros don't have ips screens. they just have a pretty good TN screen... the iPad and iMacs do use IPS thoughmy next laptop would be the lenovo x220. 3 pounds IPS Sandy Bridge.... too bad no need for it for now. possible to get one for $650(i3), $800 for a better i5+RAM... 9 cell + slice battery = 20 hour battery life. omghttp://www.anandtech.com/show/4211/lenovo-announces-thinkpad-x220-series-12-ips-with-sandy-bridge Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelso 4 Posted May 22, 2011 Just rock a CRT monitor bro. Less delay than LCD, bulky (which means they stronk) and totally vintage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balthazar 15 Posted May 22, 2011 If you can find is elsewhere It got this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254048For a steal. Was around 160$ for a 25 inch lcd 1080p monitor. Hanns-g may be a lesser known brand but its colors are vibrant to me and I've had no dead pixels in the almost year I've had it. Great monitor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clay 24 Posted May 22, 2011 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052The onboard speakers work well enough for playing PS3 (but I use my headphones for music and CSS) and the image quality is pretty good.

TURKISH RAMBO 9 Posted May 23, 2011 An HP? I'm guessing that thing has like 5ms response time.I'm saying you got ripped off homie. The dell has an advertised 8ms response time and the input lag is alot better than most cheap monitors.I would never go by what it says on the box. there are cheap POS monitors with a advertised rating of 2ms.

Clay 24 Posted May 23, 2011 I got a hp with 1920x1080, 23" for 300 bucks at wally mart so just look around there pretty niceI'm pretty sure you're out of the US, so I dunno what that is in my money, but it's too expensive. Walmart monitors are all garbage (none of them at any Walmart near me have HDMI, and only one had DVI (it was $400)).I've never noticed any major input lag. I can't play RB on any TVs anymore, unless they work out of the box. Calibration doesn't work for me. I literally just spent 20 minutes fine tuning calibration on my roommate's 120 hz LCD and I wasn't able to get it right. Shit fucks my game up, yo.
