I have the TN version of this display, and it's very good. I can imagine the IPS could only be better. Great price.

Mine is so good this doesn't even tempt me.

So i should jump on this for a gaming monitor?

 

[Knufire]

Depends on your budget. I'd jump on it for this price range. If you have considerably more to spend, the thread on the sub $400 Korea 27" IPS's is a great deal as well.

 

[Horrerblade]

i dont really wana spend more then 200 where is that thread?

whats the difference?

 

[EarthDog]

IPS vs TN panel. For information on that, there is a sticky here I believe that tells you the differences and what specifications are what.

(most IPS > TN panels)

what do you all think about this 25 inch monitor?

 

[Horrerblade]

Also guys whats the difference between buying a lcd or a tv for your computer?

 

[Knufire]

TVs have built in tuners, that's about it. If you want bigger than 30", you can get a TV. Note, AFAIK, most TVs don't have the same quality panels as computer monitors. You sit further away, you notice less.

Any comments on that 25 inch monitor? it looks pretty good does anyone have a better monitor?

 

[Horrerblade]

[EarthDog]

Really? Dont you thimk your being a little picky 60 hz is all you need more then that I would say is 120 hz for 3D

Damn you Pinky! You only bought one because you knew I had one as well.

This monitor replaced my Dell Ultrasharp that's now serving as my home security monitor in my stealth security room.

Only thing I utterly hate about the LG is the ridiculous pedestal it had, since my cat loves knocking stuff over, I modified this LG to accommodate this Monoprice after market pedestal.

(The LG base is truly aweful, the engineer that decided to mate a 23" monitor to a pedastal for a 15" LCD should be tarred, feathered, and then given a wedgie)

But be forewarned; anyone thinking about doing the same should know, the monoprice stand has a large footprint and it wasn't easy modifying this to fit the LG's non VESA specs (I used a super strong industrial adhesive & a couple other tricks)

 

[Horrerblade]

What happenes.to the base? Does it fall over I dont have a cat or anything of the such will I be okay or should I just clamp it to my desk?
