16:10?

 

I think 16:9 looks much better. I would even prefer 21:9 over 16:10 .....

[eLucid]

For what exactly? Gaming? Enjoy that overshoot ghosting, bro.

What about the Asus PA248Q

Still has overshoot ghosting, older matte coating is terrible, and it has pwm dimming.

[dizmo]

I'd rather have a U2414H. So. That.

It's difficult to explain but once you've used it you start to prefer it.

Everything.

Unless you're playing first person shooters competitively IPS > TN

Ooooohhhhhhh!

A challenger has appeared!

 

Looking through the specs right now.

No shit sherlock. You realize dell has a new thin bezel 1920x1200 monitor coming out right? The asus is almost five years old. If you see the old grainy matte coatings they used, you'll quickly change your mind.

Never actually noticed that it was 5 years old.

No DVI

Doesn't list refresh rate, although I'd assume 60hz

Not 1920 x 1200

 

Other than that, they seem to be almost exactly the same.

I do like the thin bezel on the edge though.

I wasn't aware, thanks for the heads up though.

 

I worry though, if I were to get a second monitor that has the thin bezel, how much would it drive me insane?

 

Also, that price. $300 < $500

The panel used in that particular model is very old indeed.

In the dark, probably not a lot. I'm ocd when it comes to thick ugly bezels though. You're better off seeing it in person.

To that I'd counter:

 

No DVI - Don't care. DisplayPort.

Doesn't list refresh rate, although I'd assume 60hz - As all are...

Not 1920 x 1200 - I personally couldn't give less of a fuck.

 

Yes, 60hz like most all IPS panels, however it handles gaming a lot better than the one you listed.

I could get that one, which seems to be exactly the same minus the bezel, but like I posted above, how much would that drive me insane not having two monitors that aren't bezel together, you know?

 

Unless I could sell my current monitor for a decent price.

It has HDMI and mini display port instead of DVI which makes it far more versatile.

It is 60Hz

Not everyone prefers 1920 x 1200

It supports MST

It has a 4 port USB 3.0 hub vs a 4 port USB 2 hub

True dat.

 

Fuck... I guess you win @dizmo. I thought I was full proof!

 

Now, how do I get two of them? I only has enough for one.

I was looking for the same one that dizmo posted but he got to it first.

[eLucid]

If you really have your mind set on 1200p.

I'm not dead set on it, but I do enjoy it.

But that price doe! I could get two U2414H for one of those U2415.

Haha, no no I'm the same way I totally get it. I couldn't have two monitors that weren't identical to each other. It'd drive me insane.

eBay. You can get them really cheap on there from time to time. New, of course. It'd only be about $100 more than your $300 budget, should easily be able to get more than that for your current monitor.

Also, you might want to check out Dell from time to time. I bet they'll go on sale around Black Friday.

I mean, what do I do, buy the same exact monitor that I'm already using, which is working fantastically by the way.

Or do I get the newever improved version, which is quite improved in a bunch of small area's.

 

I mean, I could try and sell my current monitor for like $200 and then I'd only lose about $100 tops, but that's only if I sell it.

 

Ugh.

Cant flash monitor BIOS without DVI This isn't a common thing though, so I guess the minority who want this feature will have to look elsewhere

The same I could say to you about 21:9

Fair enough, haha.

 

Got any reccomendations for a nice wide screen monitor? I haven't even bothered to look into them.
