What monitor to choose ?

[danvilnoiu]

Hi all,

I am looking to buy a new monitor for:

- day by day use, internet .... but I am not a photographer
- play 1 hour per week something like startcraft 2

Looks like DELL ST2320L sounds good but what about DELL U2311H - this is IPS and I love that but is 8ms working for games ?

Thanks,
Dan

Anything in starcraft won't move fast enough for response time to matter. You are better off with the excelent colors of an IPS screen.

Response time spec is over exaggerated anyway. Realistically, LCD panels have been stuck at 25ms - 12ms since forever. Only their advertising methods have improved.

I would go for the Dell U2311h if the price does not deter you. 8ms response time maybe considered slow for hardcore gamers but you are a casual gamer and Starcraft isn't exactly a fast motion game.

I agree - the U2311 is the way to go.
