Hey TH,
I was wondering if any one could explain a few things to me. I am building a new system specifically for photography but also has some gaming and multi tasking capabilities. I am planning on going with the need intel chip set from sandybridges (i5 2000k) and probably nvidia for graphics the gtx series (460 or 470).
So the questions. I dont have the cash currently to go out and buy a dell 27" ips panel (college tuition is a ah heck). So I have been looking at other options. Viewsonic has a new 23" ips panel for around 300 that seems pretty nice and if I get 2 down the road it will suffice until I can put out the cash to get a true Dell IPS pannel.
My question is that most IPS pannels dont have HDMI ports on the back. Is there a reason for this or is it just an extra cost they dont want to add? Also can I hook up other devices to my monitor through my graphics card. For instance a PS3 HDMI cable to the graphics card and then to the monitor through DVI? Also these are HD pannels with proper resolution for 1080p, can I expect to get the same quality on them as I would on an LCD or even LED monitor? Sorry if these are stupid questions i am just trying to make an informed decision.
Thanks for the helps guys
