Cant Find This Monitor Anywhere!?

[tomoxilin]

As I plan my new pc build, I stumble across the perfect monitor.

Everywhere I look there are incredible reviews of it but I can not for the life of me find it in any Australian stores.

The monitor is the ACER H236HLbid

I hope the people of Tom's hardware can help.

I... quite literally just googled the monitor, clicked on the first link, and was taken to the newegg page for it.

That being said, I don't know what you're using it for, but it's an IPS panel with a slow response time and a relatively high price.

Whoops, just saw that you're an Aussie, alright then. You might be screwed - products aren't often sold globally. The PCpartpicker for Australia doesn't show it anywhere, but 'Ao3' appears to have it... for sale for $425 AUS. I think you're WAY better off finding a different monitor, sorry to tell you.

Yeah I suppose, it really does suck being Aussie for this kind of stuff, apart from Metabox and Venom laptops (clever plug)

For my uses, I haven't had too much experience with crazily good graphics: this said 5ms response time is perfectly adequate for me, I'm mostly after good colour reproduction.

Thanks for the speedy reply BTW.
Could you suggest any other monitors of such good praise?

Most IPS monitors will serve you well, then - I don't know what brands / models are easily available in your area, but using au.pcpartpicker.com and searching for 1080p, IPS monitors gives you this link: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/parts/monitor/#p=1&r=256001080&sort=d8

Now, that can't possibly be all of them, as that's a ridiculously small list and doesn't even have a single 24" monitor, so I don't know what's going on there... But it at least gives you a place to look.

Here we go - I know that Mwave is a pretty big supplier for Australia.

Here's a sorted list of the IPS panels you can easily get your hands on that they know about: http://goo.gl/c3tnDO

The Dell UltraSharp are always very good, and that's a quite reasonable price for them. The Asus further down should also be good, as should the BenQ. The only brand that I don't know is Nixeus; they're new to me. Find a few monitors and do some research on them, and you should find a good fit.

1080p is not usually defined as 2560x1080.

A more accurate link: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/parts/monitor/#p=1&r=256001080,192001200,192001080&sort=a10

Whoops, my bad. Tired brains make dumb mistakes; thanks for catching that.

 

[tomoxilin]

Thanks for the all the answers. Couldn't reply sooner since it was early morning in Aus.

I think I have found a few good ones from the suggested lists.

Could I get some opinions on these ?

 

[DarkSable]

Well that first product isn't a monitors so much as a PCIe ethernet card. 😛

That second one is a great monitor that should serve you well.

I have heard good things about the Asus but I would still like to have something with a DVI input.

 

[DarkSable]

I feel you, but HDMI would work the same. Anyways, both of those monitors are going to be very good for what you're looking for.

Ok then I had just considered it because I have a Samsung S23C350 and that has HDMI and VGA only, while the graphics card I want to get has 2 DVI and only 1 HDMI.

 

[DarkSable]

Well... Either use an HDMI cable, or get a DVI to HDMI cable - or a different monitor and a DVI cable. That decision is really up to you.
