Decent 1080p temporary montior?

dlf · September 30, 2013

Of these which seems like it'd be a good choice as a (temporary?) 1080p monitor

What I'd like:

22 inches or more (up to about 25)
HDMI (& Display Port (if possible))
South of $230 (see: goo.gl/e8sjWQ)
Temporary because I eventually want a Asus PB278Q) but the monitor I may get (that's only 1080) will be moved to the side and the Asus will then go in front of me.
Widescreen as well
IPS? I am color blind (some of the time) . . . . Merci

If its temporary means you may need it fast as a temp replacement maybe? Why not just go your local brick and mortar and pick up the cheapest you can find for the specs you want?

Just get something awful if it's temporary. Hell best bet you can find something for 20 ish bucks,

He said he's still going to use it after he gets the PB278Q, as a second monitor.

That would be the best choice; fits all your criteria and will match nicely with the PB278Q.

I'd check out the ASUS VS239H-P as a temporary monitor. I'm assuming you're looking for best monitor for the money at a lower cost. If so, this is the one.

I will probably go with this monitor, although it'd be nice (I guess?) for it to have 5 MS GTG instead of 6 . . . . How does eyefinity do with monitors with different resolutions?

Response time really doesn't matter, it's just a placebo. There's no standard way of measuring it, and if you look at frame by frame shots of pixels switching color, you will see 6ms monitors beating 1ms monitors. It's all kind of a crap shoot. At the end of the day most monitors are fast enough so that it's not a noticeable issue anyway.

I don't think you can do eyefinity across different monitors, as far as spanning games across multiple monitors. If you mean just a regular dual monitor setup then you'll have no problem.
