NEC PA272W because I do photography and graphic design, have it set up with some no-name 1440p 27" to have my media, browser and misc. junk on while I work with the other full-screen.

>>52234201
A trio of HP Z30i's, and a pair of ZR2740W's.

Why? Because work bought them for me.

>>52234201
ASUS VG278HE.
After some minor color/contrast correction, displays decently well and 144hz is great for gaming.

>>52234468
Damn, your work gave you all of those monitors? What exactly do you use them for?

>>52234201
two HPZR22W's and one HPZR24w. Fucking crisp.

>>52234201
Call me lazy, but I just pick up a 22" HDTV. Samsung is my prefered brand. HDMI ports on the back, audio included if you don't have speakers. Watch TV, Netflix, or work with other HDMI devices (Raspberry Pi). Not the smart TVs. Never get those. Keep your Roku on the outside, not the inside. :3

LG 24MC57HQ-P

24" IPS 1080p 5ms. My first HD monitor and got it for $100 during black friday. It's been a great budget display so far, only has single hdmi (1.3) and vga ports. Lots of color calibration settings though (RGBCMY).

Forgot to mention its a weird one or something. I measured its stripe pitch at .22-.23 across the board. I run stuff at 2560x1600 with no problem or blurriness. A bit flickery because it only runs at 72 hz at that res.

>>52237754
you enjoy playing league of legends and CS:GO on that monitor?
that buyers remorse must feel terrible.

Currently using one of these http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PC9HFO8/ref=psdc_1292115011_t1_B00P0EQD1Q

Plus two of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JN9310/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_3?pf_rd_p=1944687702&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00GTV05XG&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1TFJS3V1AAW1N2FRQ8HY

>>52238114
How exactly did you measure the stripe pitch? From your ".22-.23 across the board" statement, I'm guessing you didn't just count the stripes and average it. I would be curious as to what the exact number of stripes is. Of course it can easily be estimated by dividing width by pitch.

LG E2341 landscape and Acer X193w portrait. LG was $40 at a pawn shop for 1080p and the Acer was $10 at a thrift shop. Gets the job done til I can afford matching monitors or an ultra widescreen.

>>52238179
Some quick calculations:

22.5" viewable diagonal gives it a width of 484.6mm.

If the stripe pitch were an even .22mm that would give you ~2,203 stripes.

If the stripe pitch were an even .23mm that would give you 2,107 stripes.

Even the .22mm calculation seems like it would be too low for a crisp 2560 horizontal. I would think it would look noticeably crisper at 1920.

>>52238179
I measured at the ends and the middle and the halfway point. It was consistent. The old FW900 I had that broke was .23-.24 in the middle and .28 at the sides.

I measured it as .23-.24 through the entire thing but usually the stripes are a hundredth of a millimeter bigger than they actually are in the aperture grille so I took one off. Clearly smaller than my old one. I've been trying to see if its a prototype or something. Manufactured in August 2000, which was a month before it was released.

>>52238254
Phosphor stripe isn't 100 percent the determinant of crispness, they can be semi-activated and the "ideal" resolution is usually something like (stripes/.8) iirc.

Dat monitor and keyboard. Das it, mane.

>>52238354
That's very interesting... Sounds like you have something special there.

I was thinking more along the lines of stripes*.8 for ideal resolution, not actually taking it higher... Maybe it's just because I've never had the opportunity to use a "high end" CRT, but my experience with mid-low range Trinitrons was that they were noticeably crisper when used well under the number of stripes. Also the manufacturer's recommended resolutions are usually lower than the amount of stripes, but that might have more to do with maintaining 85Hz refresh rate than the stripe count.

>>52238453
Hold on, I'll take a picture of it at 2560x1600.

Just ordered a new one today. I've been using a U2211H for about 5 years now so it's a pretty big increase in pixels.

It was between this or the PG279Q and between the mixed reviews and being out of stock literally everywhere I've looked, I just didn't want to wait and/or take a gamble on the panel lottery.

Are ultrawides still dropping in price? I wanna pick one up soon.

Are Dell S-series IPS any good? Is the Ultrasharp worth the ~60-100 dollar premium?

eizo is great, right? i might have the chance to test one of their products (and if i get picked i get to keep it)

This is zoomed pretty far in being 1600p and all. I'm sure the phosphors show that, but still.

>I traded an IBM T221 for one last month. Love it.
I remember having a T221 for about a 2 months or so before higher resolution monitors started becoming common. The number of pixels was pretty cool, but beyond that, it just wasn't worth the hassle.

>>52239096
I loved it actually. I program and I love having a ton of windows open. Good colors and I didn't mind the lower contrast.

I think its become less of a hassle over time with hidpi displays becoming more common.

>>52239114
It was the connector interface that was a real problem. It already had the adapter board installed and my GPU had two DVI outputs, which was fine. The issue was that I was running Windows 7 at the time, and I didn't have an AMD card (or an nVidia Quadro) so running at full resolution with a "striped" display was only possible if I unplugged one of the DVI cables and ran it at like 30Hz or something really low like that.

>>52239149
ah. I got some adapters from japan and just used that. I got the full 48hz. Which was pretty fine for most things imo.

>>52239165
It was a software issue in that I couldn't use both DVI adapters at the same time because nVidia are a bunch of faggots with their consumer drivers. I could run the display as high as 55Hz at full resolution, but it was actually display two mirrored desktops. AMD's drivers and nVidia's Quadro drivers had a "merge" desktop ability, but nVidia's consumer GPUs only have the "surround" option which only works with exactly 3 monitors.

It was a software issue more-so than the actual adapters, but since the monitor was of course too old to use something like DP1.2a which has the bandwidth necessary for the full resolution and high refresh rate, it was just a hassle to use.

It was a neat monitor to use though while I had it. A hassle, but it was my first experience with DPI displays.

>CrossOver 2795QHD
>Plus a couple of crappy TN panels I've had for years

I am quite happy with my Korean 1440p memepanel..
It's very barebones and I wish I splurged on something with a few more inputs and features, but for media is it great.

I'll probably upgrade once 4k content is more readily available and gaymen hardware is more powerful and affordable.

>>52239070
Looks a little soft, but definitely usable.

It's been a long time since I've actually used a Trinitron computer monitor, unfortunately. I did a lot of thrift store hunting for a good one from 2008-2012 or so but I didn't have any luck and eventually found a decent IPS LCD and mostly gave up on reliving the CRT glory days.

Bought an Acer XB270HU back in October. Worked great the first week or two, then soon after started noticing vertical lines when watching shows with bright scenes.

took another one. Look at the "All trademarks..." at the bottom. Seems reasonable at 2560x1600 for small fonts. A bit soft, but still not making anything unreadable at all.

Photos make it look worse than it is too imo.

I turned the black levels to low and adjusted the gamma manually through windows/nvidia/display calibration. The stock gamma profiles it comes with are okay.

Just started looking for a new monitor, can someone help me out. I'd be using it for console/pc gaming, watching movies and general programming. Price range is anywhere up to about $400. Some of the choices I've been looking at:

Korean 4K panels, senpaitachi

Thinking about getting this one.

>>52246400
you couldn't find wallpaper that was big enough for this monster?

16 inch 1366x768 no name monitor from 2008. I use it for gaming too. I should just invest in a real monitor, just about anything would be an upgrade.

Is IPS all that important?

I'm trying to decide between a 24 inch for $155 (Acer K242HL), or an IPS 23 inch (23MP47HQ-P) for $175.

I'm an Ausfag so both are probably terrible options for the price.

>>52234201
Eizo Foris FS2735 reporting in.

>>52246711
Those are equal to or lesser than what the USD prices are. Some IPS panels have higher levels of glow at the edges (appears depending on angle of viewing, not consistent like light bleed) than others but my LG has a small amount visible on a 100% black image.

still using the rebranded korean thunderbolt displays i bought in 2012

i got a 4k display and it was just too fucking big to use comfortably. too much hassle to ship it back to korea so good waste of $800 i guess

going to hold out for whatever apple replaces the thunderbolt with i guess. if the korean rebrands for discarded panels come out around the same time ill probably risk buying one, but maybe not

>>52234468
senpai please teach me how to get a job as sysadmin!

I'm using a ASUS MG279Q, a Dell U2713HM, and a LG W2343T-PF. Don't think I'd want a 30" as at that point things are getting unwieldy but 27" 1440p is pretty sweet.

Would now be a good time to buy a monitor? I know that something better/cheaper is always coming but what I mean is if these things have cycles or habits of dropping prices at x time of the year and that's close or stuff like that.

I'm thinking of getting an Asus VX228H (or 23 but I don't really need the extra inch) and I was wondering if I should hold off for now. I don't follow the monitor market now so I have no idea.
