Hello, Any of you out there tried the Lenovo Thinkvision L220X it seems to be the best monitor for my situation; best color quality and still being responsive enough to game. Also it has 1920 x 1200 on a 22" display, talk about a screen reducing jaggies!

i think i remember 32ms input lag...which may be acceptable..

http://techgage.com/article/lenovo_l..._lcd_monitor/4
- although this one says 9 ms. different source.

The input lag test between the L220X and Dell 2007WFP revealed that the monitor had a lag of 9 milliseconds

vs 2007wfp, rather than the usual vs crt input lag test, i think.

i hope we see more high res lcds in 'smaller' size such as have been available in laptops for some time.
perhaps a 2560 x 1600 at 24"?

[S1mon-]

Anybody can share his experiences with Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP? I heard there is a lot of problem with it, but the screen looks simply gorgeous. I need some inputs!

Thanks

I recently purchased a MK241H Asus LCD. What is everyones opinion on the light leak? (The red dot on the screen isn't a dead pixel, it is my camera)

[Judaeus Apella]

Hmmmm... who makes the best gaming LCDs? Just curious... I'll probably never get one. I think I'm going to use a Television for both TV, movies, and my computer, for my next build.

do you really want a 2560x1600@24inches you would need your face 5 inches from the screen to see the extra detail,i think that is just a waist i know this is xs but i dont think the human eyes are that good


also are there really any problems with todays 30" monitors i have a dell 2407 and i have no problems with it what so ever

This is what I'm looking into getting, do to size limitations 22" is about all that will fit. Too bad there are not alot of reviews on it about gaming. Anyone have any experience with one?

[pcaddict]

I was looking this monitor: http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna...977&sku=142648 to replace my current 30" apple cinema display.. is that dell good choice?

[adamsleath]

ive heard he 3007 is better than 3008, but they may have revised the 3008.

What do you guys thinking of the acer G24? Fast respond time with great contrast ratio(50000:1!!). Seems to be aimed at gamers.

Its not that expensive on ncix.com (399$).

[Soulburner]

I don't think I'd want a 16:9 screen for PC use - too narrow.

[shabranigdo]

Hi, I'm looking for help selecting a 30" monitor 2560 x 1600. I have been leaning toward the dell 3008wfp. I would like a variety of inputs including HDMI. Any thoughts on the dell, or other 30" monitors?
Thanks

[Kingcarcas]

I'm looking for help with a 22'', i have a 20'' now so i just want to know if there are any 22'' monitors with 75hz refresh rates? Good PQ obviously, but it's not worth the jump if i can't get higher FPS with v-sync.

[Soulburner]

It is my understanding that 75hz only works at non-native resolutions and on some panels only. LCD's run at their native resolution run at 60Hz standard.

If you can pull that off on your current monitor, I wouldn't switch.

Took a gamble and bought this thing. I'll pick it up tomorrow and hope the res on a 22 won't make me cry.

Well going from a 20" with a pixel pitch which is smaller than most, I still notice how much smaller stuff is. Not that it really bothers me much because I like to sit close to my monitor.
