Looking for advice for multi display setup low to mid end

MunkyTOS · Nov 28, 2015

Hey OC'ers,

With black friday sales gone (and some still going) and cyber monday coming up, I am looking to replace my current monitor with something better. At the moment I require two monitors and down the road after the holiday season a third for gaming and multitasking. From what I can tell the things I require most are something in the 24" size or so, minimal bezel, sturdy stand (perhaps a decent monitor mounting bracket for down the line as well), hdmi input and preferably within the $100-$200 per monitor price range.

Side questions I have about monitors as I don't know all too much is how noticeable the difference between 60hz and 144hz are and 1-2ms versus 5-8ms response time are. Appreciate any help and happy shopping.

For that price range, if they're still on sale, the U2414H is amazing.

Those do look really nice and it seems like Dell has a pretty good rep for monitor quality. Out of curiosity what do the letters before and after mean? Also I noticed the S2415H, what kind of difference is there between LED and LED Backlit?

Dell makes the claim of #1 monitor for a reason, they're definitely the best in my eyes.

The U and S are the series.
U is best, it is the Ultrasharp lineup.
The H means it is 16:9 instead of 16:10.

Still need to unbox and set up the other monitor, then figure out ideal set up but loving this monitor so far ATM. Also showing off an angle of my new desk I picked up from Amazon for ~$80 with surprisingly nice build quality and features.

Glad you're enjoying the monitor!

If you want it to look even better, run it at 61Hz

MunkyTOS · Dec 10, 2015

How noticeable of a difference is 61 vs 60 hertz?

In terms of contrast, an incredible difference.
Other than that, there's barely a difference.

Ah very nice, well thanks to google and youtube videos I was able to set it to 61hz :thup:

thanks for the tip.

ATMINSIDE · Dec 10, 2015

Glad you got it!!

Still tweaking the height/pivot as there is a slight mismatch and OCD is going crazy but found a wallpaper I really like.

ATMINSIDE · Dec 10, 2015

That background is awesome!

Looks kinda like my setup... U2414H's, G710...

MunkyTOS · Dec 10, 2015

I have a confession, living vicariously through you is not enough, I must recreate the environment. :rofl:

ATMINSIDE · Dec 10, 2015

Hahahahaha nice one!!

Curious and lazy... I also apologize for the slight thread jack in advance...

How does changing the refresh rate 1Hz effect image quality?

Takes it off the same freq as power, makes the blacks darker.
If you can stick two calibrated monitors side by side it's actually pretty noticeable.

My thread is your thread ED

Plus I'm thankful because now I know the reason why as well.
