Best 1920x1080 around £150?

Mr Paul · 10 Sep 2009 at 12:23

What's the best to get guys? Would prefer around the £150 mark, but may go a few quid higher

Looking to pair it with the 5870 when it arrives

Cheers

24" or 22" ?

+1 for the Dell S2409 here.
Had mine about a week now, no problems related to it being a TN panel.
Decent enough blacks and backlight seems fine, checked this as I watch a lot of TV eps on my PC and not noticed any ghosting in games.

23"

What about this Dell? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-030-DE&groupid=17&catid=1425&subcat=

stretch to the S2409W

Is it worth the extra £20 for an extra inch? (muhahaha

)

I'll wait and see what OcUK have on offer this wednesday, if nothing good then it's the Dell S2409W 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor

dude go the whole hog and get 1920 x 1200 24'' .
16:10 gives you so much more screen real estate

Well I don't want the value one, and all the others are just to much ££

Mr Paul · 14 Sep 2009 at 09:51

Well I've narrowed it down to three Dell's (as they appear the best price/performance)

Dell 2209WA £195
Dell S2309W £170
Dell S2409W £190

Now I know the 2209WA is e-IPS, but it's only 22" and only 1680x1050 and I'd prefer 1920x1080 as I'm getting a HD5870 when they are released.

Is it really worth sacrificing size and resolution for the e-IPS screen? As my current 6 year old Hitachi TN screen seems fine to me (viewing angles are NOT important).

Cheers

Mr Paul · 14 Sep 2009 at 19:06

Well I may as well need to know too

Mr Paul · 15 Sep 2009 at 13:42

Now I'm thinking of higher res (and money lol)

What about the Dell SP2309W?

Mr Paul · 15 Sep 2009 at 14:45

This is on the S2409W right?

Mr Paul · 15 Sep 2009 at 15:19

Damn I just don't know what to buy!

On one hand there's the e-IPS 22" 1680x1050 Dell and on the other there is the 24" 1920 x 1080 TN panel.

Is the e-IPS worth it over a TN bigger screen and higher resolution?

AAGGHHHHH lol

Mr Paul · 15 Sep 2009 at 19:03

lol Just tell me

Dell 2209WA

Or

Dell S2409W

Mr Paul · 15 Sep 2009 at 22:31

Hopefully it will be on Special for the week

Mr Paul · 16 Sep 2009 at 09:35

Same lol

Mr Paul · 16 Sep 2009 at 13:11

Bugger they've reduced the wrong one lol

Mr Paul · 16 Sep 2009 at 19:45

Ah but is the IPS 22" the better choice even though it's smaller with a lower res, but has a better LCD screen?

AAGghhhhh

Mr Paul · 16 Sep 2009 at 20:35

I'm thinking 1920x1200 is the way to go now over full HD 1080p

But that opens a whole new can of worms!

Mr Paul · 18 Sep 2009 at 19:43

Well it's here.

The box was pre-opened like pretty much all stuff I buy from OcUK!

But the monitor seems great, bloody huge lol, it has a couple of stuck pixels but I can hardly notice them!

Good so far

Mr Paul · 18 Sep 2009 at 20:21

There is a little backlight bleed along the bottom of the screen. But it is a TN panel

Need to calibrate it now, any tips?

Mr Paul · 18 Sep 2009 at 22:04

It also has a slight scuff on the top bezel, this is where the wrapping wasn't in place during transit and it's rubbed on the polystyrere protection....

Good old OcUK with their pre opening and buggerng around with stock!
