Hows this monitor rate then?

I'm looking to use it mainly for gaming, (PC, X360 and PS3) as well as more general applications.

Tempted to buy it, (or maybe a pair!) tonight. So reviews and opinions would be most welcome.

My current PC isn't up to much right now, but I need a new monitor.

I'll hopefully be looking to replace my PC Jan/feb next year, with something beefy.

Worth getting? yay or nay?

No one at all!?

When i saw this topic i googled to see if there had been any decent reviews since i last checked when i was wondering about purchasing it.

Still none

, didn't think there'd be any point in posting that i'd had a look but couldn't find anything.

For what its worth, i believe the 245B is regarded as a pretty good screen?

Cheers anyway.

I've seen a few reviews arround and they all seem pretty favourable. I was just hoping for an OcUK thumbs up really.

orderoftheflame · 14 Nov 2008 at 10:05

Well, I've ordered a pair last night.

I'll let you know how they get on.

Talk about biting the bullet

Not sure how clued up you are about calibration and what not but i found this http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ REALLY helpful the other day setting up my nec. Although it didn't need much settings changed

Yep. I found a friend with the 22" version that seemed pretty happy. I just hope I am come next Tuesday!

I'm not clued up at all, but I'll definately have a look at that link. Thanks very much.

I got my T220 a couple of days ago. There is some back light bleeding, which is annoying me a little, but I shall get over it. I don't have enough experience with non work (ie you are lucky to get 5ms) TFTs to say whether its worse than industry average.

The monitors have arrived.

Just got to wait til the end of work to play with them now.

orderoftheflame · 18 Nov 2008 at 13:25

Well, they arrived and they're nice and big.

Very pleased so far.

Going to need a bigger desk though!

I'll add this to my list of potential to-buy monitors. Thanks!

How's the input-lag/response time, do you know? Any ghosting?

I'd also be very interested to see how you get on with these. What GFX are you using, what games (if any) do you play and how do you find the 1920 x 1200 resolution affects desktop / gaming...

Thanks!

Current GFX is a pre 2000 ATI card that will only display at 800x600 on Ubuntu.

I needed something to play the Xbox and PS3 on for now, but I'm planning to build a new desktop after Xmas hopefully. This is sort of the halfway stop.

On the Xbox and PS3 it's been superb so far though!
