Anyone else sad that you can't find 16:10 Monitors anymore?

U2412M is an excellent 16:10 monitor

Dell has them and so does Samsung, HP, Viewsonic, Asus etc and you can find them at newegg and other retailers. I'm currently planing on selling my 1080p, get a second GPU and a 27" from Dell or the soon to be released Asus 27".

Aw, I was looking forward to a monitor that had even thinner edges for mutli-monitor setups. Looking at the black bars while gaming is irritating for me.

who else read borderless display for multi monitor and then was sad that there was no dvi?

 

[linzerd]

Actually, the manufacturer page says that "the ultra-narrow bezel measures just 5.8mm", not 2mm as stated here.

 

[themissingpiece]

Agh, the only I don't like is that it's 27" but not 1440p... Ah well, it's to keep the prices down, I guess. I hope there'll be a 22"/23" version.

Umm, guys, the sub title?

It's not a big deal - DVI>HDMI cables cost $5, and they're electrically compatible so there's no active conversion or potential loss of quality involved.

Well, with my Asus 24" monitor, I noticed the colors were worse when using DVI as opposed to HDMI. But it really isn't a big deal like you said. I'm more sad about the lack of a Display port with this 27" monitor, which is better than the other two.

And I also wish it were at least 1200p, but for the price that Best Buy is offering - you really can't beat this sort of deal with any 27" monitor (Planaar is the only company that offers similar deals I think for 27" monitors).

Toms! You should do a review on the 27" Catleap 2B with 1440p resolution IPS that overclocks to 120hz! This is the monitor WE the people (your people) want to see (we know you do to)!

Yep I have two A panels from them the 2B rocks wasn't able to clock them up to 120hz though did get to like 115 close enough for me.

And if you want a review head over to http://hardforum.com and look for Vega's post. Or go on youtube and look for videos by CallsignVega he is such a beast!

Then either your cord is flawed or your monitor is flawed.

And 2bs are way overpriced, go get a 120 PCB...

 

[andle riddum]

Borderless my ass, I'll believe it when I see it. LG did a similar trick with it's IPS 7 model, it's just lies folks

 

[belardo]

HOw come I can see the 2mm bezel from the small photo?

 

[DSpider]

The bezel is still visible. Silly marketing...

 

[army_ant7]

Thin bezel monitors could be useful for single-large-surface (SLS) setups. Though this one may only be good for up to 3xlandscape setups, but for 3xportrait, 2x2landscape, 5xportrait, etc setups, the thick bottom bezel may get in the way.

 

[victorious 3930k]

They ruined this, badly.

 

[mrmez]

Looks suspiciously like an iMac...

 

[americanbrian]

OMG how could they fail to put displayport on this? It is MADE for multi monitor setups and yet the EPIC FAIL on connectivity...

 

[back_by_demand]

A triple monitor setup is the only one that would appeal to me personally, so a missing bezel on the sides is a must for me, but unfortunately they haven't quite sold enough of the old tech for the new tech to be rolled out yet - give it time - until then the only way to get a real bezelless setup is to correctly position multiple DLP projectors
