dell s2240l

pequin · February 3, 2014

I have been looking around at monitors for a new build. I recently got a asus tn 24ohz panel cause I have never experienced a tn panel in person and I was wondering why people did not like them. I am starting to understand why. Like I said I am starting a new build and my pops has this dell s2240l and I absolutely love the colors on it and its pretty cheap. What do you guys think for that price range? Or maybe go a little more expensive? Also I was wondering, are there any good ips pannels that are more then 60hz? Every ips panel I see are always 60 hz, I would really like a monitor like the dell s2240l but with a higher refresh rate... Thanx in advance for anyone's input on this matter : )

s2240l is fantastic. I own the s2240m (same thing except it has dvi instead of hdmi and costs less) and it's fantastic for the price. Looks as good as much more expensive ips panels (im talking about the 250$ U2412M and others in the price range).

You should be able to overclock your display to about 70hz, or 75hz if you're lucky. And no there aren't any IPS panels I know of that are more than 60hz.

You know I have actually never overclocked a monitor before, do you use a particular software to do that? have you tried it on your dell? You know I might just get yours (s2240m) I perfer dual link dvi over hdmi anyway, it has a higher bandwidth capability so Im not entirely sure why so many are hot on hdmi
