Where's the relatively cheap eIPS ones like the Dell U2311H,LG IPS236V?
I don't have a clear idea of their price in the US but in my country these two are about 200 USD only,hell they're even cheaper than other TN 23" LCDs that use LED backlights.
 
How about some reviews of some LCD TV's that would make good part time computer monitors. I want to put an LCD TV in a room upstairs but also want it to double as a computer monitor for some web browsing and some gaming.
 
It's been awhle since I've seen monitor reviews on toms. I've been having to go to tftcentral.com to check out color gamut, input latency, and all the other goodies the manufacturer won't tell you.
 
i am waiting for 120 hz 24" monitors...can we get reviews on these?
to be honest we need to know the best gaming monitors for the money.
 
I like the monitor review, judging by the criticisms a lot of people would like to see a lot more.

I do think the sweet spot for enthusiasts is 120Hz 19x12 IPS or better panels - then we can debate sizes, input ports and miscellaneous stuff.

Jeez, the one burr under my saddle is this talk about power consumption, I really could care less. If you cant afford the power bill buy an iPad and play games on that thing. I cant wait for watts per pixel, watts per Hz or some other a55inine measurement....

So thanks for beginning monitor testing. Cant wait to see more....
 


Request for watt per pixel granted! just kidding :kaola:

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'm making a few notes as people write in. A lot of good ideas and requests. We'll try and accommodate as many as we can.

Cheers,

230-300 bucks for these!? I recently purchased a 23.6 inch LED backlit LCD monitor from ASUS for $180 plus I got a 20 dollar rebate. And, for this significantly lower price, my monitor even came with built in speakers. Why did you guys choose to compare crappy big box store monitors?
 
I'd like to see a review of LED-LCD TVs that have PC inputs. One that looks interesting is the Vizio 26" E260MV that retails for around $250.
 


I know everyone loves to knock on Best Buy, especially since Circuit City and CompUSA are no longer around to spoil us on crazy rebate programs, but if we had gotten review units you would have accused us of getting cherry picked monitors.

For everyone tossing request and ideas, keep them coming!
 
By no means would I have accused you guys of receiving cherry picked products, Tom's is one of my favorite review sites and I honor what you guys say is your reviews. But as a site that caters to DIY'ers, I am just surprised you went with best buy models, a store that I don't typically associate with your audience.

It would be interesting however to see a comparison between these monitors and off-brand products and products that you could get at a place like newegg, just to see how they stack up to each other in both price and performance.
 
I have a 28" Hanns-Junk for $250 ... works great and the space is fantastic for multitasking saves tons of time, esp now i have two .... I'd rather have more space than slightly better visuals when I game I am more concerned with the action than the looks after a certain point. of course once i try 120 hz i'll change my mind ...
 
Lets see the Dell U2711 vs. the Apple 27inch Display.

Also, a comparison of smaller IPS would be great (u2311) from a gamers perspective...I think some of us are worried about the response times. Thanks Toms!
 
Ok, if you're scanning reader comments for more recommendations, I'd love it if you could review Dell 2211H or 2311H and 2410H in the next roundup. 2211H and 2311H are IPS, and surprisingly affordable.

Any chance of a roundup of monitors that are potentially well-suited for multi-display setups? I.e., a comparison of the quality of thin-bezel displays? Might be too much of a niche, but you never know!

Also, a review of mid-range (in terms of both size and panel type - IPS for instance, since a few manufacturers are starting to try and push out less expensive IPS displays in the 23-24" range) displays would be nice, too.
 
As many previous posters commented, some IPS panels for the next review would be sweet. Similar sized IPS panels are becoming more affordable and people are FINALLY starting to realize the benefits. I am personally on the market for an ASUS PA246Q since I can find it for ~515$ shipped, sweet deal for a 1980x1200 ips with 1.07 billion color reproduction.

We would also need input lag comparisons please :)
 
where are the review of the LED backlit monitors... I would like to see the power consumption also..
 
I'd like to see the Dell UltraSharps =) 24", 27" and 30" compared with some other high end monitors like Mac's 30".
 
Thanks Toms Hardware. The idiots you have working there have screwed up again. If I post a comment and then enter my user name and password afterwards to log in my comment never shows up. Please act like you know what you're doing and fix this.

Back on topic, which monitors can be calibrated with a colorimeter? Monitors that have their RGB gains settings maxed out in the factory default settings cannot be calibrated with a colorimeter.
 
UltraSharp U2311H 23 inch Monitor vs other monitors in this class (upper end 21"-23" monitors)
 
I'm not a fan of the 1920x1080 HD ratio screens for computers. A bit too narrow, especially for notebooks. But I understand why... it costs less to make and fits with HD-TV videos and very compatible with HD-TV themselves when you plug a notebook into such TVs... rather than going through a resolution conversion.

My 24" Samsung 1920x1200 is not replaceable... even a 26" monitor is a bit smaller 1920x1080. Oddly, the original $2500 24" Samsungs at 1920x1200 were not quite as wide mine.

I would love to buy a 26~27" screen that supports 2560x1600. Looks like only HP is left on newegg and its a 30" $1200 monitor! WHY can't we have MORE 2560x1600 monitors?! 30" is too big for some people - but it would be great to have 26 / 28 and 30" monitors with such resolutions.

The only Hi DPI monitors on the market are 21" displays at 2048 x 1536 (wow), but these are aimed at the medical field and costs about $4000.
 
I'd like to see monitors in the $200 dollar range, as well as tests for input lag (ie, the time it takes the button you press to be represented on screen). This kind of thing matters for those of us who play games with very specific timing requirements (like fighting games.
