Was wondering if the HP 2511x would be a good monitor. I was looking at several ASUS monitors both LED and LCD and they seem to be very hit and miss and with my luck I would get a miss for sure. I am looking for a good quality monitor that is going to last awhile. I seem to only get about 3 years out of them before all of a sudden they dont turn on anymore.

While the ASUS monitors came to be 2ms I am reading on here that really nothing none are below 5ms without some sort of acceleration that causes other problems.

I checked out the dell u2311h while it seems good it shows a 3-5week back order and i cant wait that long.

The 2511x seems to have good reviews in all sizes and I am leaning towards the 25" version.

Please let me know any reviews good or positive if you have one
 
Here's a short video review... a bit shallow though.

Note that the screen is glossy so you will see reflections. You should be able to visit your local BestBuy to check out a demo model of it. Between the HP and the Dell, I would prefer the Dell, but even that is not ideal for me.

Generally speaking, I believe the response time for a TN panel monitor without using acceleration is around 8ms - 10ms.
