IPS

[azeem40]

$340 Budget for IPS. Currently into the U2412M. Play games and read documents in portrait mode. Any thoughts?
No convincing me to get TN instead cuz I won't.

Is that ips or tn? Any reason you chose it?

TN is better, it has faster response time. IPS is better if you are like me and want to do colour accurate design work, but I have gamed on my Dell U2311H e-IPS display and you cannot notice any visual tearing or the such, but keep in mind my U2311H costs more than a comparable TN monitor. When gaming, the graphics look better, but for the price you could have bought a 27" monitor rather than a 23" e-IPS monitor.

Just as a monitor, my U2311H can do portrait or landscape.

At the time when I bought it, I paid $250 (AUD)

You can find the same monitor in the US for about $230 when on sale.

As long as it has <10ms response time with no ghosting, I am good. I care more for input lag. Thanks for the advice.

Well then in that case you can choose between e-IPS and traditional TN monitors for gaming. The more colour accurate s-IPS and etc. are much slower (ms) rated.

Really up to you. I can only comment on things I own, apart from that, my google is as good as yours.

I have never been so indecisive about anything but monitors, so idk what to look for really.

 

[azeem40]

I also don't care if IPS is more expensive.

tn is plenty good in my opinion. with your price range i would go with AOCs 27 inch.
it has good reviews and good specs

For gaming is good TN , if you are working in 3D , graphic design then IPS is recommended.
The size depends from distance between you and the monitor. If you are closer to the monitor then an 22"- 23" is more than enough.

 

[azeem40]

I sit in front of the screen probably a feet away.

 

[sosofm]

Me too and for that i have an 22" monitor.

This monitor should be good for you and have great customers reviews http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824262012 150$

I like the thin bezels and the contrast ratio.
I will see if my local bestbuy has this so I can go and see if I like it. I would like more opinions so I can "test" a lot of monitors at bestbuy.

EDIT: Oops, I forgot one thing. I will be setting up tri-monitor eyefinity in the future.
EDIT2: I was also considering the U2312HM. What appealed to me the most about this monitor is the max input lag it experiences is 10ms and the average is .6ms.

Buy three of these 21,5" ASUS VS Series VS228H-P Black 21.5" 5ms HDMI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236176 it have HDMI, DVI, VGA and Audio Out and it cames with VGA and DVI cords.

I'm vote for TN since if i use ips it will reduce my gaming experience because of ghosting that i see if i use that..

Only use IPS if u need to do a design not game..

Only can suggest to you to choose 2ms response LED if you use high-end graphic card..
Because 2 ms response is only on the grey to grey picture, but on white to black picture it will cost your monictor respond time..

I have yet to see anyone say that for IPS. I prefer e-IPS if I do get IPS.

@ Sosofm: I prefer good viewing angles and height and swivel-adjustable. Also, that monitor doesn't support Portrait mode.

Here some articles about monitors http://www.squidoo.com/best-led-monitors

I edited my post a minute before you replied.

 

[azeem40]

Those articles you mentioned don't include any monitor that can be rotated to portrait mode.

 

[amdfangirl]

Pretty much the only monitor I know that does that is the U2311H.

Do you game with friends sitting near you? Good viewing angles don't usually matter for PC gaming unless you game with a TV.

I can also get a monitor arm for vesa mounting & up my budget by only getting skyrim as a game for now. That would mean a $350 budget for the monitor and arm. Would that change anything?

 

[azeem40]

Would it? I will get a monitor arm so orientation of the monitor is no longer a concern, but the budget is now $ 250 for both.

Stupid phone lol.
