U2414H vs VG248QE

[Beyerk]

Hi, I am shopping for a new monitor and I need some assistance deciding. I realize the U2414H and VG248QE are inherently different, but here are my reasons for wanting both:

 

Dell U2414H:

 

Color reproduction

Dat bezel

 

ASUS VG248QE:

 

Fast reponse time (1ms), 144hz

 

I REALLY like the Dell's slim bezel. I play CS:GO casually and that's why I thought the ASUS may be a better option, but I also watch a lot of TV and movies. Would I notice a great different between the color and look of these? I don't do any professional image work. And also, when playing an FPS like CS:GO, will the 8ms/60hz response time be lacking compared to 1ms and 144hz?

 

I really wish there was a thin-bezeled gaming one... I currently have an ASUS VS248H-P so I could always continue to game on that and watch things on the Dell.

I'd go with the Dell, especially if you already have a monitor.

Personally I prefer color over speed. It's not that noticeable.

Also, the Dell actually has closer to 4ms of lag for gaming. So. That should be a consideration too. You are limited by the 60hz panel though.

I'd choose the U2414H too. The one only edge thing you get from the VG248QE is the 144Hz refresh rate

Yeah I feel that I may go with the Dell. I've never had a 144Hz monitor and don't know of anyone who does so getting that would be taking a chance. Plus I'm in love with the thin-bezel look lol.

Basically this. The U2414H has around 4ms of total lag, signal processing like a boss. As I understand it, 144hz is going to give you the most benefit in FPS games.

 

With all that considered, it's an IPS game I could actually play SF4 on, and the monitor that's convinced me to, at the very least, consider the jump

 

Fast reponse time (1ms), 144hz

 

Response time and lag are two completely different thing. 1ms response time means the pixels change quicker, which, with the higher refresh rate, less motion blur.

 

So, your call. Most say colours > speed, however I'd put forth the argument that colour reproduction is only going to be vital in professional scenarios

Unless your a high refresh is really important I cannot recommend the Asus VG24Qe, Which i have been using since November. The Colour accuracy on thse 144Hz panels are just not that great. Aside from maybe the 400-$500 Benq model.  If your gaming only then it's great but for every thing else it is subpar.

I kinda disagree. Everyone can appreciate more accurate colors and the nicer IPS panel.

I find it pretty painful going from my PLS laptop panel to my TN desktop.

Some TNs don't look horrible. I'd put the argument forward that looking nice and being accurate are two different things. I really like Samsung TVs, doesn't mean they're the most colour accurate out there

True, but the good ones are far and few between.

IPS has nicer colors than TN. They just do. I agree on accuracy, but in terms of nicer colors, TN just doesn't quite compare. On any of the ones I've seen.

Hey sir, I was looking for a new monitor a while back ago. I considered IPS with 60 hz refresh rate and gaming monitors with 144hz refreshrate. To be honest, I've gamed on a tn and ips panel and I don't feel any difference between the fast response time and stuff. IPS is the way to go for good viewing angles and good colour reproductions. I actually got the Dell Ultrasharp U2414H and man, for the price of 200 euro's in my country, it is an amazing monitor! I game on the monitor and also watch some movie's on it. Just a beauty! I recommend it.

May I suggest you add a poll.
