Monitor opinons

Post by **Nightshade** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 8:27 pm

Planning on getting this one:

It's a 12ms response time, and from the other places I've checked, it looks to be a pretty good deal.
Thoughts?

it says it's 16ms. we have a few of these at work. they're an excellent lcd, with less backlighting annoyances than others (viewsonic). mine's 16ms and i don't have ghosting issues at all.

Hmm, my IT nerd was wrong. I didn't read the description in the link I posted. DOH.
I think I'm going to get it anyway, I don't have room in the budget to go faster or larger. I was originally going to get another CRT monitor, but hardly anyone fucking sells them.

i don't think you'll be dissapointed unless you'll be anal like me about black levels. go for it.

I don't like the 16ms. I had a viewsonic @16ms for a couple days and returned it. If it's not for gaming then it's probably perfect.

I ended up getting a CRT after trying a few LCD's out. Had to order it online because no one sells CRT's local anymore.

retail stores only exist to sell trendy crap to n00bs anyway these days. you have to buy online or mail order to get good shit

One of my IT nerds has a 16ms Dell LCD that he ran the BF2 demo on. He said he was quite happy with it.

The only issue with the E193s is you will notice when running resolutions in games other than 1024x768 it looks like complete ass there is also ghosting with this monitor in high action.

I fucking hate you GH. I already ordered it.

I would have gone with one with a DVI connection, but whatever...

Oh awesome! I paid for next day delivery, and the cocksuckers are telling me that it's not going to ship until next Thursday.

As soon as I can speak to a human being at Dell I will.

Post by **mjrpes** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 2:37 am

I definitely would get the GH deal if you can. Very well worth it

Post by **Psyche911** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 2:48 am

I'm right here, mjrpes.
I just don't have the cash for it.

I was planning on selling some stuff (extra PSU, XBox, PS2 and games) for my computer upgrade but I'm almost thinking I should buy that monitor now and get the computer upgrade later.

Although...my computer wont be enough to play any games at it's native resolution.

Sorry you know I am Dell's bitch sorry I didn't see it earlier, if you want it you can usually call dell and swap the order, with a little sweet talk you can also get them to apply the web only discounts

Sent you a PM with my dell support number, if you don't find the option you need pick any and play dumb they usually forward you to the right place with very little hold time

Post by **Nightshade** » Sat Oct 08, 2005 4:51 am

Sweet! I was just bitching about the usual "Find a better deal 10 seconds after you buy" thing.
I have nothing against Dell, my IT nerds love them and I think they make good stuff. That's why I had no qualms about buying the monitor.
