Prunes Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Hi guys. I should be getting a gtx 670 soon, so it's time to get a new monitor that can push that gpu a little. I currently have a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW with a resolution of only 1680x1050. I've been looking to at this Dell UltraSharp U2412M. It has a nice big resolution, pretty good colors after calibration from what I've read, little ghosting and favorable price tag considering what you get. My question is whether you can recommend something better around the same pricepoint? My budget can be extended to around $400-450, but that would also be max. The dream of course would be a 2560x1440 or at least 1920x1200, but if you can recommend some insanely amazing 1920x1080 monitor, then I'm open to suggestions.

IVIYTH0S Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 I'd look into the korean 27" 2560x1440 panels. You can definitely find a good one, well equipped, with the pixel perfect guarantee for your extended budget. I'd not settle for anything less than 1920x1200 though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd not settle for anything less than 1920x1200 though Those monitors are totally worth it's price. As I can see you have listed the monitor which costs $410, I would assume that your budget is around 300, which would be enough for those monitors.

Prunes Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Arh yeah. That's right. I remember Waco being pleased with his, and some others as well. I guess I'll check ebay. It has to be the uk or german though, so I can avoid varios tariffs and taxes. Thanks guys. EDIT: The thing is, though, that the ebay pages looks a little shady to me, but that might be because I never buy stuff on ebay. Would you buy this one based on the ebay page?

ivangela Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 It looks the same as the one I linked you Remember, the seller is Korean so that might spook you but they sell a lot and have good feedback. I don't know any other way to judge risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 If you have a Microcenter close, these are a great buy.... http://microcenter.com/product/384780/EQ276W_27-Inch_IPS_LED_Monitor,_WQHD_2560x1440,_HDMI,_DVI-D,_DisplayPort,_USB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know any other way to judge risk. I guess you're right. How's the color compared to, say, an Dell IPS panel? Do you know?
