MixMasterMalaria posted:Thank you. Kind of off topic but since it doesn't have a scaler, is there a good solution for routing console A/V through the pc to game on it? I got one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009S750LA/ I basically just went to amazon and looked for the cheapest dual arm mount with good reviews, they're mostly nearly identical unless you want to spend a money on a fully articulating/counterweighted/otherwise fancy robot arm. It looks like they do make DP to dual DVI adapters but they're a little spendy... just having another dual DVI input would probably be the most convenient  What would be ideal is if one of these Korean fly by night companies made a single-input monitor that used DP instead of DVI but I don't know if such a thing exists.CraigSlice posted:I'm looking between these three monitors AOC Q2770PQU, BenQ BL2710PT, or the Qnix. The AOC and Benq are 450 each and the best Qnix price I can find is 350. Is the Qnix still the way to go or is it worth the extra 100 to get a name brand one that I wouldnt have to worry about debezeling it {undecided if id do debezeling}

Thinking of upgrading my dell 2209wa to a 1080p monitor and I am wondering if I get one with just HDMI would I still have to use the Nvidia RGB Full/limited range toggler fix (have a 660 ti) to get the colors decent or should I get one with DVI-D still. Of course does the toggler still work or is it even necessary. My current monitor is IPS which works fine for me gaming so would like another IPS monitor.

You just have to figure out whether you can go without a fancy adjustable, wobble-free stand and VESA mounting.

The Dell U2312HM in the OP is out of my price range, and the Asus VG236H seems to be outdated, so are there other recommended 23" monitors?

Straker posted:You can get Korean 1440ps for like $290 if you poke around ebay, if you're getting one you may as well spend as little as possible unless there's a good reason for it. And you'd be just as likely to want to debezel any monitor regardless of the manufacturer... the more pressing issue with the Korean monitors is stands that wobble if you type too hard. Okay, I'll go with the Qnix. Id be looking for ONLY dvi input PLS panel versions since the multi input versions are junk and since it already comes with the vesa holes id just need a wall mount, or stand if I went that route, correct?

They just updated the product page for the U3477PQU. And they took off the part that said "AVAILABLE IN OCTOBER". Hopefully this means it's about to be available and not that it has been pushed back.

Gwaihir posted:Unless you double up and SLI the 970/980s, you're going to be very hard pressed to push games high enough over 60 FPS to get a lot of benefit from the 144hz panel. That said, it's totally possible with the games you listed- D3/EVE/Skyrim aren't exactly Crysis 3/ Metro 2033 in terms of graphics card abuse, and a single 970 should be able to push them over 60 FPS. Then again, they're also not nearly twitchy enough to want or need 144hz. I'd stick with IPS. Well, I figured for the games where I wouldn't be pushing high fps, like Skyrim, the g-sync of the ASUS ROG could be really nice to have. It supposedly makes things look much smoother in low fps situations? Since I may have the monitor for many years, eventually I figure my GPU would advance to the point where more games would be run @ >100 fps. Zorilla posted:Unless you make money playing games (in which case, you'd already have a strong preference for fast TN panels), stick with IPS or VA. And avoid the U2713H unless you're doing color critical print work. That has a wide gamut 10-bit panel with a fairly slow pixel response, lots of ghosting, and probably quite a bit of signal delay as well. The U2713HM is the one to get instead. Great comments on the U2713HM and PB278Q, thanks. I don't make money playing games but I do really enjoy the best gaming experience. I'm just not sure how much of an upgrade IPS is since I've been on TN at home forever. So it's really, what will upgrade me the most @ home for gaming/movies: g-sync and >60 Hz, or IPS. I imagine many people are in the same boat. At least it's a good problem to have!

So I have a ridiculously specific set of requirements for a monitor: -1920x1200 -hdmi input -good viewing angles for watching DVDs and blu rays -very little backlight bleed -scaling aspect ratios so it can display old games in 4:3 resolutions or weird movie letterbox formats without stretching -VESA mount -available in Denmark How screwed am I? Edit: I can compromise on the hdmi hookup but it would be nice to just hook up my bd player instead of going through the hassle of getting digital versions of my blu ray collection Fruits of the sea fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Oct 18, 2014 |

Alereon posted:It's likely the same LCD panel, but Apple is using a customized display controller chip. I think you'll need to wait for samples to be sent to competent reviewers to know for sure how they stack up, right now they've only had brief periods with the machines at Apple facilities, which doesn't really give an opportunity to test how it performs. I'm wondering what kind of stuff will happen with the controllers when someone Bootcamps their new iMac.

I currently have a korean xstarDP2710LED. It seems to be great for my gaming and multimedia needs. I am considering picking up a second cheap 1440p korean monitor, but I just noticed that they require a DVI-D port. so if I had two of these monitors I would need two of these ports, but my nvidia 970 only has one of these ports. Am I boned out of getting two of these monitors?

NEC recently announced a 4K 10 bit IPS monitor that can also do 120Hz, making it the first IPS monitor that can do >60Hz commercially available. Unfortunately it can only do 120Hz at 1080p due to bandwidth limitations, but what a crazy screen. 4k, IPS, and 1080p120Hz in one.

I'm sure this isn't the case, but the nerd in me hopes they did something totally batshit insane to get that framerate. Like have each set of 4 pixels fire one after another in an x pattern, or something.

The screen can do 120Hz and DP has the bandwidth for it at 1440p so why not do it? E: I suppose going back to the original post the interesting bit is that there is a 120Hz factory IPS.

How cut-rate can I go with the cheapo Korean monitors without having a really bad time? This one appears to have Displayport and be IPS, how bad could a WASABI MANGO brand monitor be: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NZT9R2K/ I bought a GTX 970 and now want a 2560x1440 display to go with it. My standards for a monitor are pretty low because I'm coming from a cheapo TN 1920x1200 monitor from 2006, but I don't want something that has no warranty.

Yeah, lots LED backlit TVs do this, some even with colored LEDs. It's called local dimming. Not sure if any computer monitors do it though. Obviously this requires true backlighting rather than the side-lit design used in laptops, so the thinnest of displays are automatically out of the picture.
