I'm waiting to see who will try to compete with MD230 7680X1600P 120HZ FTW. :D

While 120Hz on TV isn't the same experience, let's be specific so as not to place blame in the wrong area. TV displays that claim 120Hz are indeed panels capable of 120Hz. The video fed into it just isn't 120Hz native. It's purely an issue with input and not the output device part of it (the screen itself).

I think it's slightly too expensive, the Acer 23.6" 120Hz 1080P is $399 at egg.

I look more forward to

and

A shame about the Q2 availability though but I already got VX2268wm 120Hz so can wait a lil longer.

Yep better of with Acer wich is 100$ less but you lose very good stand on alienware.

But same as you i am waiting for 24" 120Hz LED, so viewsonic will be first with this panel ?
And yeah gamers are fine with led tn's, so anoyed with argh not TN again..

And here I thought I was the only non-TN gamer left. :) I've gamed on MVA, PVA, and IPS panels. I'm currently using PVA + 2xIPS. I've never owned a TN!

24'' should be the standard by now.

Wonder if there is some way to hack the input? :D

So yeah, either go for 1920x1200 IPS or 1920x1080 TN 3D monitor I guess...

And regarding the OP, I think this is a very decent offer for the price: the image quality should be very good, and for once a monitor in this price range has a non-retarded stand, which is great.

or for $100 less than this pick up that 1920x1080 23" NEC IPS panel.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if they would do an 30" IPS version with polarizer. Sure insane price for that, but what you pay for is the best.

Anyone know what panel they're using?

EDIT: Panel is probably LG Display LM230WF4

I for one don't see the point of upgrading my video card to use on my crappy TN panel. A decent IPS or possibly PVA panel will be my next upgrade. I'm sick of the backlight bleed, uneven colors, and horrific viewing angles.

uh, 24" is big, dude. Depending on how far you sit away from your screen, when you have to move your head to see everything...not good for video games (IMO). I don't think I could play on anything bigger than 22 and 1680x1050. It also takes a honkin vid card to churn out good frame rates at 1920x1080. I'm personally waiting for a 1680x1050 22" 120hz led.

Try a 24" screen. You'll be amazed by the increase in immersion and I even wish my screen would be bigger. You don't really have to move your head to see everything, the human eyes gets vision of a range of about 160 degrees.

I'll admit, I have a big table. I'm freely able to move my monitor forward and backwards, if I wish, though I like them close. Too close though and it will hurt your eyes. That's where big screens come in.

one reason IMO that 1200 is being replaced by 1080 is the monitor is shorter.

My kids Dell 24" wide screen has the same overal panel as the BenQ 19" std format both same height just wider.

use cheap 19" die and cut the panels wider for more profit. 19" STD LCD = 100.00 add 50% more width = $150.00 charge $300 beacuse its now a 24" """WIDESCREEN""

I'm with you, they start at a €1000 and then I'm not even talking about the investment needed to make my system up to the task of handling such a massive resolution.

Err except for the viewing angles you can have the same problems on a IPS/VA* screen :yepp:
Also on VA* you get color shift so the image is still altered if you change your position relative to the screen.

469$ for a Crappy TN panel. No thanks.

Uhhh what? No it won't, it'll just have black bars on the top and bottom.

Doesn't really hurt the viewing experience at all since the movie is the same size on a 1920x1200 monitor as it is on a 1920x1080 one of the same size, just that it doesn't fill the frame.

Above 1920 pixels in width, and not above 1080 in height...

This is a step in the right direction. Took awhile. Now just need ips + 120hz and I'll pay the premium for one.

Alieneware is owned by Dell, and this is a Dell screen, so im sure well see a cheaper Dell version soon, i hope.
