The Dell 2007WFP...probably the only one that's remotely reasonably priced.

As for the response time ratings, its really just a marketing ploy.



If you see a Dell in person, none of the TN's can compare. As I said before, TN's are extremely popular, and I myself have two. It's hard to be disappointed in them, but anyone saying they're as good as it gets hasn't seen the best. :p


ugg thats not what i wanted to hear... the 2007WFP has less contrast but you say its better... UGG whats the max horizontal refreshrate on the thing?
 
Dells, got refurbed 2007's for 289. Looks like a good deal. Has anyone purchased dell refurbs before?

Honestly, I don't pay attention to any of those ratings. 95% of them are lies in one way or another IMHO.

Better to trust your eyes. ;)
As for refresh rate...technically LCD's don't even have one IIRC.

About the refurbs, they have a year 3 warranty just like all the rest, so I think you should be safe.

2007WFP 20.1' by far...if you never seen an S-IPS panel in action go see it now!!! the difference is night and day vs the other panel types. Don't fall for those gimmicks ooOoOoOoo high contrast + low MS = best screen...no don't be fooled... it all comes down to the panel type if you want the best IQ

S-IPS > TN, MVA, P-MVA, PVA, S-PVA

heres a list of other S-IPS panels

(CTRL+F to find em)

heres an example (both is the same screen/model/settings/comp, but the manufacture started churning out cheap *** P-MVA panels to lower cost instead of using the superior S-IPS panel)

mista ting is right but may overstate his case a little bit :p IPS is 'the best', S-PVA and MVA are very good but have some inherent shortcomings which bother some people and don't bother others. TN is in another. larger step down though. But then it does come down to price:size:uses and since eyesight and pickiness varies so much some people may be perfectly happy with non-IPS screens.
 
i love it so far, so much better than my 19" some pics, cant wait to play css on it sorry for bad pics my camera has so many features i still dont know how to use it

gotta love steam icon
 
yes... but if you analyze the picture you can come to the conclusion that its the tiny icon in the system tray, in which my camera was able to focus on the individual dots of color (RGB) that make up each pixel on my CRTmonitor :eek: pretty crazy that it was able to do that.
