I have a Dell 2412M next to a 2407. The 2412M looks slightly blue because of the backlight differences. The 2412M has much better blacks. That's about it.

Is it bad to have a 6-bit eips display calibrated to 100cd? Too dim for color accurate work/dithering/FRC to work properly?

dissss posted:In my experience VA looks like arse in portrait mode That's what I was afraid of. Maybe I'll just go for broke and get two korean monitors. Though I guess one will have to be DP compatible, since intel HD4000 only does 2560x1440/1600 over DP (keep any rendering load off the gpu for secondary stuff. ).

Has anybody had any experience with a Displaylink adaptor? Are there any high performance usb graphics cards? Also, how do I go about connecting my old laptop to function as a display for my desktop? Just exploring ideas since my mobo hates two graphics cards...

Just bit the bullet and ordered a Shimian QH270-IPSB w/ tempered glass. Here's hoping my monitor isn't full of dust! I'll post a trip report once it shows up.

movax posted:Possible it's a BIOS-goof in enumerating your display adapters, but to figure out what exactly is broken, I'd: I just did a little troubleshooting and here's what I did:
   Is that a GPU or memory fault?

Daimo posted:Is that a GPU or memory fault? Both. The GPU's memory looks bad. It's a fairly common way for cards to go bad or come DOA. Definitely RMA it. Assuming everything works with just the 460, I'd say the rest of your system is fine. 1366x768 on USB 2.0 is quite doable with a DisplayLink or workalike adapter, it just means sacrificing framerate and real-time performance (as the devices that do that will use compression algorithms to make it work). Just fine for web pages, documents, etc., but choppy on video and completely unable to do games.

Any suggestions on a good portrait only monitor? Seems like 22" is more than good enough for portrait, but for reference it is going to be sitting next to a Korean 27". It also doesn't need to be the highest quality but it'd be nice if it didn't look terrible next to the IPS. How widespread are the issues with monitors looking weird in portrait mode mentioned in the OP?

I had a Dell TN panel for a short while as a secondary portrait monitor, and I gotta say I didn't really mind it since I mostly just used it for word processing and coding. The colour shift is definitely noticeable even if you just move your head a little, but whether it bothers you depends on your intended application. I only have experience with Dell stands, and they are rock solid in portrait, although the width of the screen doesn't leave a lot of room for height adjustment.

So, my 22 inch Samsung monitor has started flickering for a good minute after coming out of sleep mode. I'm guessing it might be on the way out. I don't have a way to test if it's the monitor, Vid Card, or drivers (which are up to date). Does this sound like the monitor is on the way out? It's 3-4 years old, and gets pretty heavy usage.

Is a Dell 3007WFP-HC vulnerable to burn-in? I was playing Borderlands and I saw a ghost image of my Firefox bookmarks toolbar. It went away after a while but drat, that freaked me out. It seems at some point, my power settings changed the "display goes to sleep" time from 15 minutes to never

If not I may just get a refund and wait for my next upgrade. Otherwise, yeah, return it and wait for a chance to upgrade. Since the motherboard only has one x16 slot, the SBIOS may take some shortcuts assuming there will only be one video card. quote:Thanks for the technical info there.

Burn-in, no. What you're seeing is Image Persistence. It's not permanent, but it will keep getting worse as your monitor ages. It's what finally convinced me to replace my 2001FPs, after 7 years of service.

What's the best 30-inch monitor on the market right now? How about the best bang-for-buck 30-inch? I have a 22-inch Samsung that's six or seven years old and I seriously need an upgrade. I just bought a GeForce 670 and upgraded to 16GB RAM, so I have the juice to maximize the screen real-estate. Newegg only has four models, the Dell UltraSharp U3011, DoubleSight DS-307W, HP ZR30W, and the NEC PA301W. Are there any better options than these? If so, what are good places to purchase?

With a single GTX670, you'll still be playing at 1920x1200 for anything really stressful  Still, I'm a huge believer in 2560*1xx0 27-30" displays.

Right, but since I can afford to drop 1700-2500 bones on a 30-inch monitor, I can also afford to buy an additional GTX670.  I guess what I really want to know is, is the NEC worth the two months of mortgage?

Otherwise, save yourself the money and get a Dell U3011 then SLI your GTX670. How cheap are the Korean 30's anyway? I might get two just to add on to my Dell 30". Although I'd need to get a second GTX580 just to run 3 2560x1600 displays wouldn't I?

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:Is there a reason to get the Dell over the HP or DoubleSight? Not really. I've just had a really good experience with Dell Ultrasharps for 8 years now (and I've used just about all of their 30" displays). I'm sure HP and DoubleSight both have awesome displays; I just haven't tried them out.

I'd wager the Dell has the most inputs/USB hub/Card Reader, then you're just talking about looks and warranty. I'd favour the Dell myself too, but the prices may be wildly different.

So maybe just get the Dell then? Looking at it and doing the math, I'd be an idiot to buy one NEC when I could get two Dells for a hundred dollars less.

Like commercial photography? Because if not then you're paying a very hefty premium just to know you have an awesome monitor. I'd say not worth it unless you both know how to use a colorimeter, and have access to one.

Trip report: I asked a while back about a decision between a 120Hz TN and a 27" IPS. I've had the 120Hz BenQ XL2420T for two months now, and all I can say is: wow. 3D films ain't much on it, but 3D gaming is spectacular. I was worried I'd be splurging on a gimmick, but Skyrim alone is worth it (esp. with >80 graphical mods piled on). Another thing I was concerned about was the viewing angles, but it seems modern TNs have come a long way from the last one I had circa 2005. I've only noticed the colour distortion when I've been specifically looking for it. In all, I'm pretty drat happy. e: One thing I should say about 3D gaming is that the doubled frame rate is brutal on your graphics card. Anyone who wants to do it is doubtless going to want to twist all the knobs set to ultra, so it's probably not worth the buy unless you're happy to pick up a GTX 670 or better as well. coffeetable fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Aug 7, 2012 |

It's worth paying a little bit (not too much!) more to get it from a good retailer, and retain Dell's awesome service. There's really no need to go to NEC unless you're using your display professionally, like above posters said. I've been really happy with my U3011, since Nov. 2010 or so. I might even get a 670 or 680 to replace the 460 that struggles to power games sometimes
