sword_fish Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) afaik the MX series cost much than the VX because the former's Bang & Olufsen speakers built-in. but not a big deal for me cause i'm not after with monitor speakers anyways, that VX with AH-IPS sounds better for me yet cheaper too thanks for the input bp Edited September 21, 2013 by sword_fish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword_fish Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 it's been 4 months i've been itching for a new bigger monitor and it's with the Asus VX239H AH-IPS i settled with...finally. on a side note; there were numerous times that wife seen me browsing with this monitor and maybe she thought how much i wanted a new one. off to the mall we go last Thursday for a break, and later asked where i can get my monitor. it's my late Christmas gift from her. here she goes; bunch of people here dont get their cables complete, luckily i got mine standing side by side with my Sammy fired up in comparison though i got only 2" gain with the old one yet it looks bigger and better in person. out of the box; everything looks nice, i might tweak a few notch down with the contrast tho... it's my first time with an IPS because gaming @ COD WaW, MW3, MoHWF, BF3.... i'm not a hard core gamer so i cant really justify if there's such ghosting or input lag. afaik theres none and i cannot tell the difference between 2ms with my samsung vs 5ms gtg with the Asus, looks/feels just the same imo. it's the new colors and detail that pops out what i noted with my new monitor. not to mention with it's sleek & stylish design, such a beauty all i can say. and thank you guys for helping me out here, i have no regrets with my new monitor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Glad you're happy with it!! I remember moving up from a 22" with 1680x1050 to my current 24" with 1920x1200 and it was INSANE the difference I felt. Cherish it before you get used to it Also, I think you have the most pinned taskbar icons I've ever seen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennethk Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I'm ordering an LG 27" IPS monitor next week, yours looks great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Nice upgrade and glad you like it. But, as someone who saw G-Sync in person, I cannot honestly recommend anyone buy a new monitor right now if their main purpose is for gaming. Wait for the G-Sync monitors - they're well worth the extra $100 it seems they will go for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Nice to see you went with the VX after all. Looks like a very sweet monitor. Glad you like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sword_fish Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 wondering what's with the 3H at LG's anti glare feature. i'm fine with the VX's "regular" matte screen tho and i have this window just behind/left by my desk yet my monitor was absolutely glare free. so did with my desk lamp either room's overhead LED lighting.

davemonkey Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) i have both 19" ips and a 19 inch tn side by side on my desk , the ips is so much more vivid and less tiring on the eyes , there really is no comparison ips wins hands down !

Same here, I was thinking it'd reduce things like lamp glare or if someone shines a flashlight at you on it. I'll have to do some tests.
