Which monitor should i go with

[kunal08soni]

Hi all,

I am planning to buy a new monitor (gaming and movies mainly) and after doing a lot of research following are the two options i end up with,

1) http://www.flipkart.com/dell-24-inch-led-s2415h-monitor/p/itme2fgbcbjvjqxf?pid=MONE2FGBWJBKEP7C&srno=b_11&ref=f6922b3b-0f87-467d-b95e-34c1ea5db340

2) http://www.flipkart.com/samsung-23-6-inch-ls24d390hl-xl-led-backlit-lcd-monitor/p/itmdxy82yr2umnx5?pid=MONDXY82W2YMVAGW&srno=b_3&ref=3e0e0115-0393-4cca-8f00-0bc60f87f4df

So, please suggest which one should i go with.

There is not much difference between the two when considering response times. One has 5ms and the other has 6ms. But Dell has IPS panel and Samsung has PLS panel. So, I would recommend IPS for better image quality.

thanks for quick reply, but isn't PLS the samsung version of IPS?

No, it's an invention to tackle with IPS. Not a version of IPS. I heard, IPS has the best image quality and most importantly color reproduction. PLS is not much to IPS's color reproduction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPS_panel#Super_PLS

one more question though, the Dell IPS one is glossy and i have no prior experience with glossy screens, so if I use the glossy screen monitor in a room with good lighting, will it affect the viewing experience and creates too much reflection off screen.

If the bulb on the wall is exactly opposite to the monitor, you'll see slight reflections in your monitor. But since, it's an IPS panel which has high contrast and better image quality, you can adjust it to any angle you want and it won't bother you.

PLS/IPS look almost the same, after testing it myself. Neither is 'better' then the other when it comes down to it, preference does.

However, the panels are similar but how they are calibrate is another. Samsung tend to do the best job at that, which would make the PLS display look arguably better then that of the IPS by Dell.

TN vs IPS is a major difference however, crispness, sharpness and overall image quality is noticeable better comparing the two.
