Need help deciding which monitor I want.

Xiembeest · Mar 30, 2014

Hey guys,

I'm ready to say goobye to my trusty Samsung 4:3 monitor that served me perfectly for many, many years. Time to step up my game and start gaming in 1080p.

Anyway, due to some discounts and coupons I can get two Iiyama 24' monitors for roughly 160 euro's. Both are 75 Hz and height adjustable as these are must have features for me. The monitor will be powered by a GTX 770 graphics card.

Iiyama ProLite B2481HS-B1, really like the response time of just 2ms but has TN panel.

Iiyama ProLite XB2483HSU, AMVA+ panel that has great colours but has a slower 4ms rsponse time.

Which do you thinks will offer a better gaming experience? Games I play include the Battlefield franchise, AC, Far Cry, Counter Strike GO (casual) and lots of older racing games that I modded the hell out of.

Thanks!

Get the first one. The color won't make much of a difference.

Thanks for your reply. I heard and read that tn panel also lack the viewing angles and diffirences in colour can even be seen when you move your head. Wouldnt this be a problem?

I have thoroughly read the specifications of both the monitors and there aren't that much of a difference that i could see. Both have the pivot and rotation option. The one you are talking about that you say is lacking viewing angles have a option of slight rotation, and you won't probably need that need that viewing angles. As far as the colours are concerned here is an image of a game on a monitor you said lack colors: http://www.google.com.pk/imgres?imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fimg1.digitalversus.com%2Fproduits%2F50%2F15146%2Fiiyama-prolite-b2481hs-b1_1357210201.jpg&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.digitalversus.com%2Flcd-monitor%2Fiiyama-prolite-b2481hs-b1-p15146%2Ftest.html&h=400&w=400&tbnid=5rBvY60hDtorKM%3A&zoom=1&docid=KSpvZVR-iPabxM&ei=yck5U-7BKsTUtQaGxoHYBw&tbm=isch&ved=0CJ0BEIQcMBc&iact=rc&dur=304&page=2&start=20&ndsp=20
