IPS Monitors.

[Retardobot]

Hey guys.

For a while I've been using a crummy AOC Razor 24" which produces horrific colours. Its gamut favours blues.

Can someone help me out with deciding over these that I have wittled it down to? I'm not looking for perfect colour reproduction as my budget will have to be much bigger.

This is what I have so far:

I'm liable to side with Dell because of their popularity with the Ultrasharp IPS panels they do:

I'd get the U2412M above, but I'd like to keep the price point around the $300 mark.

Thanks!

Your links dont work. But my dad has an ultrasharp, and it does look amazing to the untrained eye. Much better than my IPS screen (AOC).

[Retardobot]

Sigh, such a noob (me).

Try now.

[trololololo]

the panels will all be made by LG (they make almost all of the ips panels),

the LG IPS237L and dell U2412 are calibrated out of the box which should mean that they have reasonable colours,
the dell 2412 is 1920*1200 unlike the others which are 1920*1080
i would go for either the dell 2412 or the ips237L depending on budget and how important the resolution is

I hear the Dell IPS are good.
Anyone know when IPS will be available in 120hz with a low latency?

[Retardobot]

Thanks good friends

Never knowing our luck

have you looked at 120hz.net some guy has got hold of some of the lg ips panels and added some custom electronics to drive it at 120hz depending of video card

I did read a few bits like that. Seems I'll just hang on for OLED from info what I was getting.
I might just get the similar dell IPS and run two screens, don't really need IPS for gaming or 120hz for design work...

Haha!

I've tried, I've built custom profiles and spent hours trying to balance the colour but there's only so much you can do with a shit panel, and without a 'calibrator' I'm at the mercy of a cold gamut.

Just pm ck, he'll totes sort you out

Growly has the penis needed to calibrate your dick monitor

[Retardobot]

I'm not bothered with calibrating it because I'll never get a result that I'd be happy with.

I'm sold on picking up an IPS panel in the near future.

[mattnz]

You're just way too cultured by the Disney version of monitor performance. That's not real life.

I've been running Dell IPS panels for 5 years now and they are spectacular. I was recently looking for something new as my 2407WFP literally popped it's clogs the other day, and I just couldn't pull myself away from Dell. And now, a little boy waits.

EDIT: I wouldn't go below that 24inch model.

[Retardobot]

I think I'm going to pick up a U2412M after new years. Playtech did have it for $399 in their sales but it's usual price is only $425 where as Dell try to hock it off for $499.

Apparently the S2340L is not a true IPS, its what they call an eIPS, I suppose it's like a pseudo-IPS. But the reviews for it weren't that great (I had to make do with NewEgg user reviews, no one seemed to know much about it).

[flyingpuffin]

You would love a U2412M, we've done quite a few of those and they are seriously fantastic! I also have a AOC 24" IPS panel and I really highly rate it, even though it was a cheaper model.

[Retardobot]

The U2412M does seem like the clear choice.

However, I'm keen to wait for a price drop.
