24" Monitor Not Dell?
 
Looking for a good 24" Monitor for games and movies.

From other threads the best is dell but I can not find any locally.
What is the best LCD non ips then?

Presto 04-27-2012 09:21 AM

NCIX has 24"s every week. However, today is Dell's last day, on their Days of Deals specials, and they have a 24" for a good discount. It's not the Ultra (IPS), but it's still good:

Shipping is free. Unless you want something tomorrow, then I'd go for this deal.

I don't understand this thread ...

You don't want Dell ... Okay, some people don't like certain brands I guess ...

You don't want IPS, but want the best monitor for movies and games? WTF man?

TN+Film = Okay for games, sucks shit for movies (6-bit/pixel colour, terrible viewing angles, terrible colour accuracy)
MVA/PVA = Great for movies, sucks shit for games (highest input lag of any LCD panel type)
IPS = Great for both

OP doesn't want to go dell route because I presume he wants to see one in person before pulling the trigger..or needs in within 2 weeks that it normally takes to ship from Dell's US warehouse.

NCIX. They have IPS monitors in stock. They Also have Samsing PLS screens as well.

STAPLES | BUREAU EN GROS
check staples
they often have okay sale prices on 20-27" LCD, and pretty good deal if you can stack a few coupons on it..

PornMaster 04-27-2012 02:10 PM

might have to just suck it up and buy from dell.
I just don't like playing the waiting game...

And those monitors recommended are 1920x1080 resolution.
Current monitor is 1920x1200... not gonna downgrade and want to dual it up

some people aren't that sensitive to picture quality, as long as the monitor doesn't have ghosting and dead pixels, then they are happy. Philips has some best LED TN panels I have seen. Last time I was in a monitor store, their Philips 247E3LHSU quality is as good as some IPS monitors if you stand straight front of it. Of course, all monitors need calibration, you will need explorer on it and read more reviews.

ddr 04-27-2012 06:31 PM

from my experience, low quality panels (all of which i've tried are non-IPS) need to be at a certain brightness to hide their non-uniformity. unfortunately, i like my screens a little darker than normal because i stare at them for long periods of time. after calibration, my previous non-IPS panels had different color temperatures at different areas of the screens. at high brightness, which is what they show at a store, the problem would go away (or be masked imo). my old IPS panel still calibrates to match nicely with my newer IPS panel.

that's not to say all TN panels are shit. you just need to do your research. read the reviews on TFT Central - LCD Monitor Information, Reviews, Guides and News

SkinnyPupp 04-27-2012 06:32 PM

I'm very happy with my Samsung TN. But if I could afford it I'd get a Dell IPS

He means this one, but it's a TN, and not IPS.

Not gonna happen

PornMaster 04-27-2012 08:00 PM

I would go with that dell but the resolution is the only problem.

Regretting not buying the 2412m when it was on sale for 269 now. Hopefully it will go on sale again

That doesn't do 1920x1200, though.

PornMaster 04-30-2012 04:57 PM

Just posted for others looking

that 120pixels really matters?

twitchyzero 04-30-2012 08:10 PM

16:10 is more comfortable for word processing
if you primarily use it for entertainment i'd prefer 16:9

3klipze 04-30-2012 09:01 PM

OP said he already has a 1920x1200 and wants another one to dual it up.


I agree with SkinnyPupp, samsung TN panels are pretty good. I have the 2443BW myself as main overall usage.

I have the 2443BW as well and deciding to dual it up with an IPS
the IPS screen I will be developing stuff so need accuracy

Just waiting for it to go on sale $269 again, supposedly it goes on sale about the 18th of every month the past 3 months or so
