that really doesnt seem like that bad of a deal... maybe i should start saving for that since im still using my 20.1" BenQ that does 1680x1050

Let me guess, it's using a TN based panel?

Did I ruin the party or do good things happen in monitor land?

[SubZero.it]

Why not 1920x1200?Good design though...can someone advice me a 1920x1200 23" or 24"?what do you think about this http://www.samsung.com/it/consumer/p...pec&fullspec=F has a 2048x1152 resolution...or is it better having 1200 pixels vertically(i mean for using less aa and overall quality)?thank you guys and sorry for the outpost

[Helmore]

Just found the Tech Specs and yes it's a TN panel .

If you go above 1920 pixels all full HD movies will be stretched and will not look as good.
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.

its ok to ruin the party before everyone gets drunk off of this, (people usually get too emotional and can be very angry if the party is hurt after they get drunk)

i guess they sacrificed color and viewing angle for the price to be more mainstream, which i think is a better approach. prove that people want full 1080p 120fps, and better versions should be coming quickly

Gaming monitors are not about the colors, it's about refresh rate and response time. Unless you want an ultimate gaming PC and vibrant colors are important to you, you won't need IPS based panels. And if you would go IPS, it needs to be either a very new one or a overdriven one and with polarizer or else a TN panel doesn't lack too much to take that instead. 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

[One_Hertz]

How is this news? The monitor has been out for many weeks. I have one...

[HiJon89]

So is this thing actually 120Hz capable? ie, can I feed it a 1080p 120Hz signal and have it display every frame?

Thank you zalbard,but i don't need monitor for movies but just for gaming...i noticed a really bad thing in that monitor,it has ONLY D-Sub!!! arghhhhh that resolution could have been perfect for me.
Anyother good 23"-24" with 1920x1200 around here?and if someone can post 1920x1080 screen of a recent game without aa to give me an idea would be really kind...thank you!!!

The Iiyama E2407HDS series seems like a good buy for you.

EDIT: If you're keen on 1920x1200, it would advise the Samsung Syncmaster 2443BW

Now I wished they would release that curved screen already, I think many who tested it found it to be very interesting to say the least

[Tech Dav]

I want 240hz, seriously why are computer monitors so backward compared to tv monitors?

I want with more than 1080 vertical...

Well here's one review of it http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=157365

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

I look more forward to

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

he got one before jan 29th.. and the most impressive feature of this lcd is the glowing buttons.

They're not. The difference between a 120Hz computer monitor and a 120 Hz (or higher) TV monitor is that the TV monitor fakes the extra refreshes while a PC monitor really does give you 120 Hz. In other words, PC monitors are not behind in any way. There are only a couple of TV that can truly handle more than 60 Hz, but I wouldn't know any model names though.

Still no 1200 vertical...is so rare for a 23" or 24"?If yes I'm going for the samsung 2343nw so, also if it has only d-sub

[Helmore]

1920x1200 seems to be disappearing a little too fast if you ask me. A 23-24" monitor with a 16:10 aspect ratio is hard to find for less than $400-500 these days. I haven't looked at every single monitor though and there may still be quite a few out there.

[SKYMTL]

I want 240hz, seriously why are computer monitors so backward compared to tv monitors?

You're talking apples versus oranges here. This 240Hz isn't a true 240Hz processed signal on TVs. The TVs use interpolation to turn the signal into a 120hz or 240hz image. This monitor on the other hand is a true 120Hz design.

It is actually the TV manufacturers who are fleecing the customers with claims of insanely high refresh rates and contrast ratios.

[Manicdan]

how is it possible this monitor does 120fps, with a d-sub?

[BrowncoatGR]

I'm pretty sure this monitor isnt D-SUB only.

how is it possible this monitor does 120fps, with a d-sub?

It's not

[Helmore]

It does not even have a D-sub connection. Those who mentioned a D-sub connection were talking about a different monitor.

I was too late apparently .
