Nixeus NX-VUE27 27" IPS Monitor Unboxing

[ArtemisX24]

First I never buy a monitor that has a glossy bezel or screen only gorgeous matte...

next I love acers thin bezel monitor for the brushed plastic back and very very thin bezel of course the spec and quality is very important but I won't buy an awesome monitor that's ugly as hell... Love simple designs :)

[kyleslazyboy]

when you do lcd review pleas put it on an give us your impressions of the qulity

[BoomLiam]

I also have quite a personal taste for stands. I love the Dell stands on their Ultrasharp monitors, but am not really a fan of Samsung stands... just a personal preference :P

[Primo]

I set myself a budget and then start looking at resolution and brand. I'll usually find a few that hit my cap and just decide between those using reviews.

[privacy1]

The monitor mount also rotates, the video doesn't mention that. 

[jinroh10]

Not big on companies that I'm not familiar with due to tech support. I know ASUS had warranty of cross shipment with my ASUS 27" 3D monitor and once I had an issue with it that warranty went straight out the window and I was told that I needed $600 in my account for collateral and if I didn't have it I had to due the regular RMA which sucks. So with that being said no more asus monitors for me.

[IronSoldier]

The gloss and bezel kill it for me :(

[Rekhyt]

I personally have a "trusted" Asus PB278Q as my primary, and I experiment with the lesser-known stuff for my secondaries.

 

Best of both worlds  :)

[That Norwegian Guy]

A combination of 'cheap and big' and 'user reviews'.... Hence why this didn't dissuade me in the least from looking at Yamakasi when I upgrade, as all they are are Samsung panels that didn't pass A+ inspection. I THINK I can live with 1-4 dead pixels for a $1300 discount! And as a former factory worker, I know there are ten times as many products refused for a singular blemish than there are those that have several and still aren't considered sub-B-grade.

I can not properly game on a 60hz monitor anymore, so unless it isn't 120hz or more, I am not looking at it in the first place.

After that, I go for whichever one has the best user reviews and is made by a reputable manufaturer.

[EldarNi]

First I decide what I need: 120hz or IPS/PLS

Second: specs such as types of inputs, responsiveness etc

checking brands Samsung, Asus, Dell what they have

checking reviews on tech sites and forums (user reviews)

[Bob]

I buy based on what I need and my budget, I usually try to get a high quality item. 

[Pingypoker]

I look for monitors with slim bezels (planning on a surround setup), good picture quality, good reviews, and a cheap price. My H236HLbid (got it for $160 + free shipping on newegg) should be getting here today, and it should perfectly fit those requirements.

[Missioncode]

It a little bit of everything I want the best bang for my money. I take everything in to account what I need, price, reviews warranty etc. The only thing I dont really care about is brand as long as it has good reviews, and a good warranty then I'm okay with it.

[IdeaStormer]

A combination of feature set (panel type, size, resolution(s), input connectors, options like usb hub, adjustable stand), quality, brand, price, and reviews. Who would just use one of those to make their choice? Left out test drive (view/look).

[DvD92]

I think I would probably read a lot about the brand, specifications is also a big factor.

 

I use Eizo monitors at the moment because of reviews and the warranty, when I bought the Eizo monitors I did not even know the brand, so the warranty was a big factor that made me buy them.

 

Eizo Foris 2331 if anyone is wondering what I use. The respond time is a little bad, especially if they are a bit cold. 

[Vitalius]

I look to what's cheap and big. Things tend to work out for me from there.

Honestly, that monitor review you guys did with the bezel that was like 1 cm big was awesome. I'm hoping they release a 2560x1600 or at least a 2560x1440 version of the ASUS MX279H. That thing was awesome.

[DarkEcho]

I value the opinions of other people going through the same process of picking through monitors, although often though you get loads of reviews for the 'best cheapest' one and that may mask the fact the despite its cheapness its nothing special.

 

Even so, reading through many reviews you start to get a feel for the quality of a product through other peoples experiences and it certainly makes me feel more informed about what I might really be paying for. I've never been one to just take the plunge on something, especially if its coming from the other side of the world..

[mgsstar]

I buy monitors by looking at reviews about it, the company's reputations, and the customer feedback that people provide on websites. 

[Deadly Duck]

I dunno, I've got better customer support from the seller I bought my Crossover 27Q from then any local store. I would give em a shout out but I dunno if this forum allows that kind of thing. Also Crossover uses A panels only. Mine came with zero dead/stuck pixels and no back light bleed. The stock stand is very stable (I use a single monitor arm for cleat up desk space).  I also prefer the versions with only one input as it cuts down on input lag.

Hey Linus, a small tip/request..

 

I know you're limited by time/resources to do reviews of these unboxings but perhaps fro monitors, if its possible you should show a quick comparison with it next to a high grade IPS/PLS panel you have lying around like a ProArt and a TN or VA panel you might have. Have the three of em showing the same colour wheel or image next to each other.. just to have a quick assessment of the colour depth.

 

Another thing.. again if time permits and assuming you do the above idea. You can have the monitor you're unboxing hooked up in a 3 monitor system with a fast TN panel and an avg IPS panel and drag a windows across all 3 monitors and hopefully capture with your high fps camera to give us an idea of response time. Even your regular camera would do if you can just insert a still from one frame..

I'm just saying this because for a monitor.. unboxings really give you no idea about the product except maybe build quality.. which is not the most important thing in a monitor. 

[cYRoN]

Nah, ain't happening.

I wont buy crappy built Displays with "a bit better than" Korean Panels.. Just can't see it.

Rather starve for a month and buy a Monitor thats worth it..

 

If I were to shop for a new Monitor right now, I would choose one of the following - depending on what I would use it for.

For FPS games I would buy the BenQ XL2420T, for RTS/MMO gaming Eizo FS2333-BK and for casually watching dat Linus: BenQ BL2400pu

 

As a matter of fact, I can vouch for the Eizo. While its not everyones taste in looks, it actually performs outstanding.

Almost as good as the 120/144Hz Displays out there, in FPS games that is. Other than that, its an IPS Panel Monitor with TN-like pixelresponsetime and input-lag.

[beebskadoo]

Linus, What is you're opinion on dell Ultrasharp monitors? Have you had any experience with them? If so, How do they compare to Samsung panels and LG/Apple displays? :)

I Bought a 23 inch Ultrasharp and i absolutely love it!

[dylandylandylan]

I always read up about the product but the user reviews are the things that convert me to using a product. If someone with my interests loves the product, can find no flaws, etc then no doubt I will too.
