24" 120hz monitors

[tumtums]

I've seen some info about the Samsung 950 series and it looks gorgeous but there isn't much more information or reviews about it yet. Are there any more 24" 120hz monitors scheduled to be released this year?

Also, any idea what can of price range they'll be in around.

That's because they haven't been released yet. Furthermore the journalists and press have been given precious little information regarding availability and pricing. I have discussed these aspects previously (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=18723334&postcount=2). The latest speculation suggests a possible May - June release date. The monitors were originally planned for a 'spring' release but I think they could have run into some issues and are planning to release all of the new 'SA' series' together - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=18843375&postcount=2. As I have said though this is just speculation - that's all we have to go on at the moment.

The SA950 series doesn't actually include any 24" monitors - only 23" and 27" monitors. There is an upcoming monitor from Acer, the GN245HQ, which was supposed to be released in mid-march. It seems that most 120Hz monitors planned for release this time around are aimed at promoting 3D integration and/or are 27" models. This will mean that pricing could be rather high (at least initially) but it is possible that existing 3D models will reduce in price. The LG W2363D is a recent example of this possibility (see this thread - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18261508).

P.S. If you haven't discovered my lovely website then shame on you . There is a link to it in my signature - we do cover all of the models discussed here (and more) and frequently update as soon as anything is known about them. Saves you having to scour for bits and pieces from more general hardware websites. One of the admins of TFT Central (Baddass) also frequents these forums - his website is an excellent place for monitor news and he has a particular interest in upcoming Samsung monitors, too.
