People have complained a lot about text showing up blurry on TVs connected to computers, is it still a problem with native 1080p60 panels and modern graphics chips outputting the same via HDMI? I know about toggling cleartype for the best visual apparent quality, but is there anything technically problematic with using a TV as a monitor?

All of this combines to make HDTVs sub-standard displays for PC content. It does work, and it works better than it did in the past, but unless there's some particular reason for opting for it, the general recommendation is still to avoid it. If you are intent on going that route, do your homework on whatever particular HDTVs you're looking at, since their ability to display text clearly can vary noticeably from one to another, and there's no simple way to determine how good it'll look just from stats or features on the box.

So it seems like everyone recommends the Dell monitors. I'm about to order a Dell U2311H for 196€. Several reviews are stating that the colors and brightness at the edges and corners are off. Is this really the case and if yes, is it recognizable?

Aww shucks, I just bought a U2311H for $300 a few weeks ago! I have a plan to unload the 23" for what I paid and get the new 16:10 U2412 but I wonder if it's even worth the trouble. Other than the change from 16:9 to 16:10 is there any huge difference? For reference I am a computer user that looks games and spreadsheets.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but... I have been using two monitors both with DVI. Today I switched the second monitor to HDMI and it is only showing 1600x900, while the main monitor using DVI is fine at 1920x1080. It's showing 1920x1080 in the Windows' Screen Resolution menu, but there is a black bar bordering the second monitor. Any idea on what the problem is? Thanks.

DrDork posted:Make sure your monitor isn't set to some weird mode. If Windows thinks it's pumping out a 1920x1080 signal, the issue is on the monitor side. Hmm... In the monitor menu of the first one it says: Resolution: 1920x1080@60z and the second monitor just says: Resolution: 1080p Maybe install the monitor drivers will work.

Unless the monitor is quite old, it is very unlikely that it wouldn't be able to handle 1920x1080@60. What model number is the monitor in question? Monitor drivers don't really do anything.

Could you knowledgeable lot help me decide between these three monitors? (For reference, I am running an ATI Radeon 4670, and while I game plenty, I don't play the flashiest or newest titles.) Here is the 18.5" Asus LED monitor that I am considering: http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_700_702&item_id=037830 And now, two 20" monitors: Asus http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_700_703&item_id=039208 LG http://canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_700_703&item_id=033076 I don't know an awful lot about monitors, but I read a little about LED technology and they seem pretty solid. Is there something I should be aware of? Should I stick with an LCD display for now? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, guys!

It could be trying to do overscan or some poo poo because it assumes the source will require it.

HP comes to your house the next day to replace their 30"er due to it being classified as a business product. (which I just ordered on Sunday (  ), after reading several in-depth reviews and comparisons, and way too many derpy newegg comments. I later realized I could have saved hours of reading and thinking for myself if I had just stuck with the OP's recommendations here which are spot on)

LED is just the backlight - you'll find a lot of monitors have one now anyway even if they don't make a big deal of it. As for your three choices I'd rule the first one out immediately - the resolution is just too low for that sized screen.

To be fair, 16:10 gives you a lot of extra real estate for games and spreadsheets. Also if you use 16:9 you are literally subhuman.

So I had an Acer monitor die on me after 3 years of adequate service, but it still had 6 days of warranty left. I sent it in and just got a response that said it couldn't be repaired, but they could send me one of these as a replacement: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009249 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009278 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009167 I need help! This is a gaming computer and I can't spring for an IPS right now. The Acer H243Hbmid seems the obvious choice because of the connectors, but I'm not sure that I'm not missing something dumb.

I'm looking to put together a new computer for my brother and he needs a monitor. He wants to use the system for gaming (mostly MMO type deals and RPGs). I guess I'm looking for more of a budget type deal since 120hz monitors seem to be kind of pricey from what I've found. Right now I'm looking at this Acer G235HAbd 23'' 5ms 1920x1080 WideScreen LCD monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1 - does this thing seem decent? The cheap price worries me, I don't wanna buy a piece of poo poo for him but I really find it to be the most difficult piece to put together. Any suggestions would be sweet, I checked out the OP and liked the first few suggestions, but they all seem very pricey. I guess you get what you pay for though, so is there some kind of middle ground there?

My experience with Acer has been less than stellar. I've had two 24in monitors go out within 5 years with moderate to high daily use. The monitor is competent enough for gaming for the price, but the next monitor I buy definitely won't be an Acer.

What would you go for instead of an Acer? I've had less than stellar experience with Acer at work as well, specifically with their laptops/netbooks and their support in general, it's just been pretty abysmal.

Got my u2410, finally got my system working, holy hell is it huge. And bright. I seem to have gotten a bad DVI cable; I tried both ports on my monitor and both on the video card, but get green snow in the dark places of images and full screen video or games run for about 15 seconds before the screen goes black. I'll be contacting Dell's awesome customer service for a replacement either way. On the plus side, I discovered my card and monitor have DisplayPort, which terrified me when I first plugged it in because the screen went all weird, went in and out of sleep mode, my computer told me the DisplayPort adapter malfunctioned, and then suddenly everything was jake. I did power both monitor and tower down first. It's worked fine since, but after getting a bum motherboard the first go round I nearly went apoplectic.

I've been thinking of upgrading from my old old old CRT monitor finally when I move into a new place soon. I've been looking at reviews for a day or so and can't seem to figure out something I want. I'm trying to get something 22-24 inches that I can use for gaming (I'm not a HARDCOREZ COD FPS gamer though, so I don't need it to be the lowest input lag possible), movies, general use, and occasional art stuff. I also want one that I can mount (or has a really awesome stand, rather than the near unadjustable crap most seem to always have). Is there any way it'd be possible to find a good IPS monitor under, say $225, other than getting lucky on finding a used one somewhere? I mean... I've seen a few that I sort of liked, but wasn't sure if they really were that good, being TN models. I've looked through this thread and have a few tabs open of some monitors that were mentioned so I could look at them later, but I don't believe any in my price range were IPS from the quick glance I gave them. I'd like one of the Dells, but those are all $300. Aside from the Dell U2211H, which the 2nd post in this thread says is a great monitor, but terrible value. Though Amazon has it around $250 at the moment. Anyways, thanks. I just tend to be picky and slow, expecting too much when I look into making a purchase like this.

people on acer posted:
We have about 400 Acer monitors in my office. To be honest, I love them. They are pretty drat reliable, we will get one that will act up every 4 months. Three year warranty, mail it out to them, returns within a week or two normally. I cannot attest for gaming on them, or any kind of photo work where color matters, but for a solid office monitor, I can't say anything bad (and their price is great too, we are deploying 23" monitors for like $150).

Their products aren't flashy or anything, but they work well.

I haven't tried it out myself but if you get a rig that can pump out 120fps at an acceptable quality level it's "really loving good" according to some of my friends who play a lot of twitch games (FPS, some DOTA type games). Otherwise it's not useful for you.

Hey, I just got a U2410 used off of Ebay, and when I hooked it up, it almost looks as if the color settings are set to 16 bit with a lot of vertical lines going on it kind of like when you don't have a video driver installed. My other monitor is working just fine, but I installed the Dell's U2410 driver just to try it out. Any advice or should I just try and return it? Thanks! Edit: I've tried both DVI ports and the RGB port and they are all the same. I've ever tried reverting it back to factory settings.
