how can 12 people already look at this and have no response?

Dell Ultra sharp monitors monitors are pretty good.

[TyLeR115]

I was looking at those. I am trying to decide between a Dell Ultrasharp and an ASUS one. I really don't want speakers built into the monitor but I guess it really isn't a reason not to buy a great monitor

 

[Preecher]

Hop on newegg.com and look at reviews there. relatively trustworthy source.

 

[SSri]

You have plenty of choices to choose from, Dell Ultra Sharp, Apple and Sony to name a few.

 

[SSri]

This looks like a fantastic deal....

[TyLeR115]

I think I am going to end up going with an ASUS one. Has anybody seen any reviews as far as the built in speakers go. I know u can probably turn them off and plug in other speakers but I was just curious

 

[TyLeR115]

I am trying to spend no more than $200-250 but if it is worth it then i will spend a little more

 

[Preecher]

here is a list.

If I had to go with any monitor around $400. It's a 24" 1920X1200 that pivots. It's the same as the U2410 minus some ports, like HDMI and a card reader.

U2412M - http://www.provantage.com/dell-469-1137~7DELL1VY.htm
or U2410 - http://www.provantage.com/dell-464-7346~7DELL09P.htm
or PA246Q - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236119&Tpk=pa246 if you want wide gamut.
(provantage links just because they always seem to have better monitor prices than newegg)

or what SSri linked to. If you don't mind having a glossy screen, the Yamasaki is a super cool deal.

Is this mostly for gaming?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236049 seems to have worked well for 1493 newegg reviewers - at that price you should grab a couple.

 

[TyLeR115]

yeah I got my build mainly for playing Diablo III, starcraft and possibly star wars. I dont intend to watch movies on it but I guess it is a possibility

 

[TyLeR115]

Im thinking about this one. Getting a 27" would be great but I think the 24" will do just fine http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+VE248H+24%22+LED+LCD+Monitor+-+16%3A9+-+2+ms+-+Black/1616181.p?id=1218273045015&skuId=1616181

 

[TyLeR115]

the one u listed on newegg is the same price as at best buy so I wlll probably just buy it from there in case something does go wrong with it and I have to return it or get it fixed

 

[Preecher]

drool... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260038

.23 pixel pitch

 

[TyLeR115]

oh trust me if I had the money to drop on a monitor like that I would but after the money i just spent on my computer I cant be spending that amount on a monitor

^ $20 cheaper. + shipping - sales tax. Don't know why, but provantage is the place to be for monitors.

how can 12 people already look at this and have no response?

Little impatient there huh....

Best deal on a monitor right now is the Catleap 27in with an eye watering 2560x1440 resolution. These are LG monitors are from Korea and if you do ur research the people that have bought these from eBay have been giving great reviews. The Catleap iss @ $350 and it is comparable to the Dell Ultrasharp 2560x1440 that sells for $900. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-YAMAKASI-CATLEAP-Q270-SE-27-LED-2560X1440-WQHD-DVI-D-Dual-Computer-Monitor-/320865591510?pt=Computer_Monitors&hash=item4ab51460d6#ht_5883wt_689
Review on people that own these monitors are here. http://www.overclock.net/t/1225919/yamakasi-catleap-monitor-club And as u can see by how long the thread is this monitor is getting very popular with gamers due to the resolutions and some versions of the monitor being able to be overclocked to 100Hz or 120Hz! But the overclockable versions are getting hard to find.

Ur GPU won't handle 2560x1440 in most of the new AAA games, but u can just decrease res to 1920x1080 until u upgrade ur GPU in the future. Other less GPU intensive games u can play at the gorgeous 1440p res.

well I am going with the 27" ASUS monitor. After reading more reviews than I care to count between the ASUS and a Dell Ultrasharp some people seem to think the lower ms is more important to avoid ghosting and then some people think the colors are better with IPS monitors and thats more important. I am going to go with the ASUS one because it is a little cheaper and if I don't like it I guess I could always return it and get a better one.

 

[SSri]

Screens with IPS are always better. Good luck with your purchase...Enjoy gaming...
