I was going to post last time saying I could already feel your rage if after a month of waiting, your Eizo had dead pixels or backlight bleed, but I decided not to as I didn't want to jinx you :p I wish I could afford an Eizo, looking forward to seeing your impressions/photos.

They're ratio standards used in movies:

Does it looks like some sort of stain on the screen? Like someone spilt a drink on the monitor? If so, I had the same problem with my iMac G5 from 2004 (from what I can tell it uses some sort of S-IPS panel) where it'd show up, but only on certain colours. The strange thing is, it's gone now...

There's also going to be a Samsung 24" 1920x1200 PLS as well: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/lcdpanel/product/monitor.html

Probably a little bit, but monitors like the U2311H or 2209WA use overdrive and have low input lag (9-10ms), so it doesn't necessarily mean the Samsungs will have poor input lag.

There's also going to be a 24" 1920x1200 PLS as well: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/lcdpanel/product/monitor.html It looks like 12ms is the standard response rate with 5ms being the overdrive figure.

Apparently PLS panels are 15% cheaper to produce than IPS so hopefully the SA850 will be cheaper than the U2711.

If you can, you might want to wait for the Samsung SA850 which, from what I can tell, is a 27" 2560 x 1440 PLS screen (wider viewing angles than IPS apparently), 100% sRGB (10 bit), 5ms GTG, LED backlit (50W), four USB 3.0 ports and also has an eco light & motion sensor...

Yes. Dell's replacement system/policy is one of the best, but a lot of people dislike their outsourced technical support to India or where ever.

The service menu will show you how long the monitor has been on for. To activate it, turn off the monitor, hold down the 2nd and 4th button from top and press the power button. Once you see the all the LEDs light up, press the top button. You should see a blue factory menu and in it should be...

Ideally, you'd want an IPS panel so that the image will still look good even in portrait, which it won't be on TN. If you want Viewsonic there's the VP2365wb, however it's probably out of your budget. For an IPS screen that's closer to your budget, try the Dell U2211H or HP ZR22w...

I've had a CRT monitor that could do 2048x1536 over VGA. Even my current monitor, the Dell U2311H, can do 1920x1080 over VGA.

If you can wait, then wait as I doubt the U2311H is going anywhere fast, unless of course you there's currently a sale on somewhere that you don't want to miss. There's a host of new IPS monitors coming out from LG like the E2370V or the IPS2xxx range (notably the IPS231P) and a few from...

Are you sure that's not your graphics card overriding the scaling or the game itself? Check your settings in the Nvidia control panel. I think by default, any resolution game (4:3, 16:9 or otherwise) should fill the screen to the shortest edge, be it vertical or horizontal. The U2311H doesn't...

Hey, you're the only person I've seen on this forum who has paid for access to all the new Prad reviews, who will I turn to now? :)

Just a small thing NCX, not to be a pedantic ass or anything as I usually don't make a point of such things, but it's "since" not "sense". You've made that error on a lot of your posts, I thought it was a typo first, but you consistently do it :) Apologies if I've inadvertently offended you as...

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/content/benq_xl2410t.htm#display_comparisons You can see the dark overdrive trailing in the review linked above. Compare the photos of the XL2410T with the Samsung 2233RZ (also 120Hz).

It's been discussed before, but with most games these days, the 16:9 ratio lets you see more because of the Hor+ scaling, like the in above Starcraft 2 example. However, I still prefer a 16:10 monitor as it's better for all purpose use. You can of course set your game (if it uses Hor+) to be in...

Possibly the Dell 2209wa, if you can find one. It's only 1680x1050 though, but that's still 16:10.

As are monitors :p

I believe you can get the 2209wa to run at 75Hz, I wonder if it'll be less blurry. On my Dell U2311H (e-IPS), I can consistently get 7, at 8 I got right 4 out of 5 tries, at 9 I got right 2 out of 5 tries. Any higher and it's unreadable, although even at 9 it was already pushing it. I believe I...

Give the Readability test (F4) in PixPerAn a go and see how high you can go. It's not an exact science as it can depend on how lucky your guesses are and also people see blurring differently, but at least it's something that you can use to directly compare. Obviously someone with a 120Hz...

That's just... bizarre :confused: I can't even imagine why a monitor would be permanently tilted upwards. The U2311H has a backward tilt angle of 20 degrees (as seen in this picture), but also a forward tilt angle of 5 degrees too. You can see the kind of positions the monitor can do in this video.

I don't quite understand what you're asking here. At first I thought you were asking if the monitor could be rotated into a portrait orientation, but I'm guessing you've already seen photos (i.e. the above post by svalbard). Here's a good page with photos showing what kind of positions the...

It's a steal at £912?? You must have very deep pockets for that price tag to seem good value :)

TFTCentral have put up their review of the XL2410T for those who still care: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_xl2410t.htm

Thanks for the quick summary Labze, there seems to be very few owners of the FS2331 (somewhat understandable due to it's cost and the number of stores that sell them) so actual user feedback is very much welcomed.

How's the ghosting on the monitor? Particularly in fast paced games. Also how bad/noticeable is the black/gamma crush? I know it's a monitor aimed at gamers/multimedia, but from what I remember from the FlatpanelsHD review, they said it didn't perform all that great.

The 2209wa definitely does have IPS glow, from a quick Google as shown in this and this review, it exhibits the silvery/white glow. Also in this Youtube video. It may not be as noticeable/distracting as the orange/purple glow seen in the U2311H, but it's certainly there. I believe...

So if you put up a completely black image/screen and view your 2209wa at an acute angle in a dark room (ideally with no light - like in T07N's photo), you're saying it doesn't have IPS glow? I find that pretty hard to believe. Just a note, the glow may not be orange/purple, but silvery white.

That's perfectly normal, it's not tinting, it's IPS glow. You will get this on any current IPS monitor. Returning it for a replacement is pointless as you'll get another with the exact same "problem".

There's a label on the back of the monitor near the bottom, below the inputs.

LG have a few new ultra thin LED displays like the LG E2290V (7.2mm thick) or LG E2360V which they showcased at CES 2011. Side shot of the E2290V:

I don't think so. People on the U2410 thread did hope the A04 would fix the tinting/uniformity issues, but I think some still have it, so what the revision changed is anyone's guess. I know Rev A01 fixed the dithering grain on greys when in sRGB/Adobe modes.

If you don't see it, don't go looking for it. Once you spot it, you'll forever be noticing it. But if you really want to see the glow, the easiest way is to turn off all lights in the room and make sure it's dark, put up a completely black image covering the entire screen (you can use...

Just a note, unless you can live with a 3 monitor setup that will look like a giant H shape, you'll have to get a monitor in the region of 40" (in which case a TV) in order for them to be all roughly the same height - this is assuming you use your 22" monitors in portrait. Otherwise the...
