Hi there!

I need help to choose a monitor. I'm a casual gamer that would like a great all-round monitor to play games/work/picture handling. I like having many windows opened, an example; working with a text, watching a movie and playing FM2013 on the same screen.

I've been looking at Lenovo ThinkVision LT3053p (http://benchmarkreviews.com/1449/lenovo-thinkvision-lt3053p-ips-led-backlit-lcd-monitor-review/5/) and It looks solid. The price is a bit steep but I will have the monitor for many years. Has anyone experienced the Lenovo? How does It perform? Is It worth the price?

I've read about the Dell u3014 but It looks like there are many problems with the screen, overshot and ghosting.

There is also a screen from HP (http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/10718375) I haven't found any reviews about the HP monitor..

I need some advice, should i go for the Lenovo/Dell or HP Z30i?

Tnx in advance
Predaking

I'm currently trying to get my hands on a 2560 x 1600 display for similar use to yourself. I started looking around a year ago and still haven't found anything worth buying. It seems that despite a robust market in high-end graphics cards, very little attention is given to the monitor market. Mobile phone displays are coming along in leaps and bounds,but for some reason the technology isn't being transferred.

Unfortunately, the LT3053p uses the same panel as the Dell, and is subject to the same aggressive overshoot problems, but at a higher price. Despite the price of the lenovo screen, most reviews of it have been pretty much of the order of 'ooh it looks nice and it's big', with virtually no in-depth analysis. The only one I found with any detail was the Prad test, which confirmed that the overshoot problem is present.

If you settle for a 2560 x 1440 display there is a lot more choice out there, but personally I can't stand 16:9 screens.

I'm still waiting.
