What New Monitors To Get

[Poohy14]

so since it is my birthday next monday on the 21st, i decided to buy a new monitor(s). Currently i have two HANNspree HF225 21.5" LCD monitors and a Vizio LED 21.5" TV as my main. So my question is what should i get, i was looking at a Dell, Acer, and X-star. I only have $350 USD to spend on them and i want to replace them all but money is the only problem. i will get either two Dell S2340M 23" IPS 1080P, two Acer H236H bid IPS 1080P, or one X-Star DP2710LED 27". I just want to know what everyone would do and which one to get and if you have another choice for a monitor let me know but i want something with a super small bezel like what is on the Dell and Acer monitors but don't want to go over the budget of $350 USD. I really want to keep a three monitor setup since i use all three for school and watch tv at the same time because i hat switching back and forth between pages just to look at something real quick.

my build is down with my signature so you can look to see if that 1440p monitor can play games with 2 monitors attached also

[target39]

1440p

[tristan1035]

Please right normally; get the X-Star

[JoshM]

If your wanting to run the latest games and high/ultra setting your gpu won't be able to do it at 1440p

so which monitors do i get the Dell or Acer?? 

[Crackhead1]

+1 for dell monitors

[Hirad123]

go x star. At a higher resolution you won't even need to max your game to make it look good. You can basically turn AA off and gain a few frames since you won't need it at that resolution anyways.

how about the brand new Dell P2314H or the P2414H. IPS 1080p (both), fully adjustable stand, non glossy, looks nice, has DVI, VGA and DisplayPort. No PWM back light (that is good), good actual response time, very low input lag (1ms, which is lower than even "gaming" monitors)

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/dell_p2414h.htm

Has good reviews, and 3 year warranty.

I tend to have a lot of dell products break on me, I swear dell hates me or something

is this the same model as those monitors you posted.

But is there anything else that you would recommend that doesn't have all of the fancy things like i don't care if there is a glossy screen because my room is dark so you never see it reflect which i should of put in the description so everyone knew. I dont need it to pivot on its side, but i did like the display port on it but I do like that monitor but if i'm getting a 1080P monitor i want to try and get two of them but i might have to increase my budget a little for these if there is not anything else but i'm happy to see other options from you and provided feedback on them. Thank you

ok i will take it with caution then because i never had a dell product because my gf got the Dell XPS 12 laptop a couple months ago and i love the screens on them so thats why i was looking at them, but i always hear good things about acer and will be the first time using them as well. Thank you for your input on this and helping me out on this tough decision i have to make.

Dell is better quality build, and better customer service with quick turn around on faulty products... 

I have acer laptop it is horrible

I have an old Dell monitor and its a strong build quality.

Also they lead the market in monitors (with Asus), its what they specialize in, there computers are average but monitors are outstanding

Yes.

No. When you ask for decent monitor, you get a decent monitor, with a good warranty.

If you want glossy, you need to look at (ultra) budget market.

i wouldnt buy a dell pc or laptop (seen too many die), but i'll most likeley never buy anything but a dell monitor again.

 

on my 5th dell monitor (3x u2312hm, 1x p2312h, 1x u2713hm) and really happy with everyone of them.

 

great stands, build quality, warranty and picture. worth the few extra dollars imo.

 

my personal experiecnce, hope it was of some help

With Dell laptops, it's business Latitude or Precision laptops, or nothing. Like the monitors, they comes with 3 year warranty + 3 year next business day on site service, meaning if something breaks, they come at your place, next business day, at the time you want, to fix it in front of you, and you get to make sure that the problem is really fixed, and you always have the system with you. They offer this, because they know it won't break. The business systems cost a premium price, but the build quality is higher compared to home, after sale service, and tech support is better, in addition, they come fairly junk free (like just Office trial, I think, and if you call to order, you can do special requests like: no junk, give me the OS disk, and driver disk (no recovery crap) etc). Also the systems have far better cooling with better fans (quieter, higher pressure, and pushes air better), and better heat-sinks, and well better engineering. Also, the system is OS independent. Meaning your keyboard special keys, including turning on/off the back light keyboard, screen brightness, ambient light sensor with control of the screen brightness, will all work on any OS.. no  driver needed, it's all done on the hardware, which is awesome. The proper way of doing it. Even HP doesn't do this for it's business class systems.

had no idea they did that with their business laptops. all the ones ive seen die are consumer grade i spose and an alienware lol.

 

if their business stuff is warranted the same way the monitors are, then i will retract my statement with regard to their business line.

 

still stand firm on consumer grade stuff tho

[Poohy14]

thank you everyone for the great responses and it seems like i should go with the dell monitors and i will do a little more research on them to choose which one fits my needs better but again, thank you everyone for the great responses and feedback for this decision i have to make.
