toyo Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 How much money you want to spend? What do you need the monitor for? What video card do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 How much money you want to spend? What do you need the monitor for? What video card do you have?im looking to spend 4-5 hundred. I will use the monitor for gaming and multimedia. I dont need a computer for any professional reasons at all. I have a Nvidia GT320 graphics card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 There is an amazing monitor just within you reach, at 599 USD. This Dell baby is perfect for everything! I could describe it to you in detail, but there would be too many "amazings" in one post. My advice is to have patience until you get another 100$, or just go for it if you already have it, it's too small of a difference. Yes, the monitor has tons of features you might not need, including a IPS panel, but it's kinda future proof.I also opens the way for you to buy a better video card in the future, when you will be able to play new games at the monitor's 1920x1200 resolution. HD movies are also something else on 1080p, and the vivid colours from the IPS panel.Although you don't do graphics, if you ever decide to start playing with Photoshop (or any other related programs), this monitor is PERFECT. http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/14/dell-24-inch-u2410-ips-monitor-sneaks-out-for-599-us-retail/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 hmm looks good. i can keep saving, im a patient person. yeah cant do too much about the graphics card right now, its in a laptop so not upgradeable but in a few years i want to get a desktop computer so i can play with the hardware. i've always liked PC gaming over console.thanks toyo.

toyo Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yes, saving&patience are signs of wisdom. Too bad they come kinda late in our lives :PThe monitor could well get within your reach when it will superseded by the new generation, so watch the prices :)PC gaming/hardware is a wild ride. You will enjoy it, the more money you have, the more fun you get :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will enjoy it, the more money you have, the more fun you get :Pthats so true, for the price of a good GPU you can get a PS3/Xbox with a game lol. at least then you wouldn't have to worry about things like frame rate because there's shit all you can do about it.

RadioActive Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 What's wrong with something like this? It (Samsung PX2370 23") seems like a nice monitor and cheap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyo Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 It's a IPS panel. Trust me on this one, there is no ghosting on games, not even on the FPS sort, and watching a movie on this Dell compared to the best 2 ms TN panel out there, it will blow you away.

You are telling me that somebody can notice difference between 2 and 6 milliseconds? No way.It's said that a minimum of 5 ms is needed for "twitch" games like FPSs and others containing quick movement, to avoid ghosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
