Magic Underwear posted:Getting a korean monitor as a christmas present for a person who does photo editing is the worst idea I've heard today. Eh, it's not professional and I already bought him a colorimeter, so I can calibrate. Considering his two monitors right now are a 27" 1080p Samsung and a 24" 1st-gen Gateway LCD from 2006, it's going to be an improvement. And if it turns out not to be good, it's an excuse for me to get one so v0v

Slark posted:Are Korean monitors really that faulty? Although I'm not sure how they are in term of color calibration but almost all my geek mates own a Samsung monitor, and they told me Samsung ones are generally considered having much less dead pixels than other Asian brands. You can pay a little premium for a display guaranteed to be under a certain number of defective pixels. They're an excellent bang-for-the-buck display.

I SAID LISTEN posted:Cool, thanks for the info. It looks like the U2414M just isn't on the Dell website, so I'm leaning toward the U2412M. The U2414M could be from the future, time-traveler man  (the last two digits are usually the model year)

Aatrek posted:I'm looking to upgrade my dual-monitor setup after the first of the year, and I'm coming from a pair of 20.5" Dell 2007WFPs. My current video card is an ATI Radeon HD 5450. You want the U2312s, they'll last you another 5+ years easily. Accurate, beautiful IPS colors. For splitter, I assume you want something that takes one HDMI signal and turns it into two identical outputs?

The only possibility is that your video card may actually have the HDMI and DVI off the same display pipe, and you can't use them both together. That was more a Nvidia thing though. But if that's not the case, hit up Monoprice for a cheap adapter or cable. I use one with one of my 2209WAs, because the GT210 I have has 1x DVI and 1x HDMI.

spaceship posted:Google Chromebook PIxel is now the best IPS display on the market [!!] Man I totally missed this, I should update the title! And I guess there are a bunch of updates to make to the OP eh. Megiddo posted:Sorry for using the terms interchangeably - it was just persistence that went away after 30 minutes. Still very annoying. I was planning to make my old Acer H243H my TV monitor in this room anyway, so it's not something I'm too worried about. I'll just have to be sure to set a more aggressive screensaver time and set the wallpaper image to change frequently when using it as a computer monitor. I don't think you'll have an issue with the models in the OP like the Dells, though I can't personally say I've done something like leave the CNN ticker running for hours on end, but then again, I haven't seen any persistence from the taskbar when I switch to a game or something.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:As awesome as having a 5120x1600 desktop is, now I have to turn my head to look from one display to the other. Also, I should probably get a bigger desk. Pictures motherfucker! I've entertained getting a second 30" or a 27", but my 2x22" + 30" combo is working fairly well for now. Maybe when I move someplace I'll have a dedicated office...

upsciLLion posted:Newegg had this monitor for $550 shipped after coupon recently. If you care to wait for another deal like that, you can go to most any hot deals site and sign up for an email alert for any deals with "U2713HM" in the entry. Yeah, it was a pretty amazing price. I was very, very tempted to jump on it even though I really have no need for it.

Agh, sorry for neglecting this thread (maybe it's time for a reboot, dunno). I just got in my Monoprice Zero-G 27" display...bought it for myself to use at work because it was cheap. Glossier than I expected, but for the price...no dead pixels, pretty meh stand (no height adjustment  ), and otherwise decent. Really wish it had DisplayPort though...Lenovo sucks horribly and the DVI ports on the docking station don't do dual-link.I will say though, I took my existing 24" display from work (VG248) and turned it portrait mode side-by-side with the 27"...it definitely does have a slight shimmer/shift moving my head side-to-side, and 24" is almost a little too big for a vertical monitor IMO. I have a 2209WA at home in vertical mode; I think the perfect fit would be a 1920x1080/1200 23" monitor.

Saba posted:Does yours still have the broken brightness control? I imagine it isn't as obvious in an office setting due to brighter overhead lighting. I've been thinking of using mine at work and picking up a different monitor for home. Doesn't seem "broken" (I can adjust it OK); there definitely is more glare than I would like in an office with a single overhead fluorescent light. Thinking about switching lighting in that office to a floor lamp or something for some more diffuse lighting.

horchata posted:Has anyone used the monitor mounts sold at Monoprice or Amazon? The first one is a little "ehhh" IMHO; granted the desk I mounted it on is cheap, terrible IKEA, but it seems to barely support the mass of my Dell 2209WA, which is a fairly light 22" monitor.

sedaps posted:Anyone with experience buying mini-displayport to Dual-Link DVI adapters? Trying to setup monitor Korean 27" monitors but looks like all those monitros only have DL-DVI. I am seeing the price ranges form $10-$150. Some ove rthe converters states only supporting up to 1200, so gets me worried of buying wrong one that cannot support 1440. If anyone knows kind of the going price or recommend specific ones, would really appreciates it. Lenovo saw fit to make their docks only do single-link DVI apparently, so I'm using an Apple Mini-DP to DVI adapter to use my T430s w/ Monoprice 27" display. Kind of silly now that I have disconnect two wires from my laptop everytime I undock, but whatever, dumb decision on Lenovo's part w.r.t dock design. FFS the chips involved all support dual-link too

Nephilm posted:PWM dimming is being phased out I used my FW900s far longer than I probably should have...at some point, the amazing black-levels + refresh rates for gaming stopped outweighing the razor sharp text I get on my U3011 when I've got piles and piles of code and projects open. Not having 3 giant CRTs on my desk anymore was also a plus (yes, I used to run three of the fuckers). At this point, I'd just love the PPI train to keep marching on and delivering crisper and crisper resolutions to my display. I'd be OK with analog inputs getting phased out at this point as well; having component on my U3011 is nice and all, but now that I have my own place, I keep my old consoles hooked up out in the living room instead of all through my monitor. It'd probably result in some cost-savings for us as consumers.

, I can see the flicker on CCFLs so that's an improvement, and the latter also turn yellow over time. You may have a case for iterations of a particular product/line, but overall poo poo is getting better.

I'm going to be the first to admit I've fallen way, way behind on this thread -- think it's time for a refresh entirely? Or at least an update of the recommended displays?

Hmm, OK -- I'll do some reading to figure out what the current recommended ones are, and read the past few pages of the thread -- if anyone's had some recent buys they enjoyed, please (re)post about it here, that would be awesome. Thinking about it, there's probably 0 mention of the 21:9 models available these days in the OP...
