IVIYTH0S Posted August 16, 2012 Posted August 16, 2012 While the Dell Ultrasharp is a sweet monitor, it doesn't come close to the value/price proposition of one of the 27" Korean IPS monitors IMHO. Oh of course, I just meant it's the best runner up for anyone who is overly cautious and distrusting of the korean panels. I for one am not going to downgrade to 1080P like the market would try to make me under $300 in the 24" range. I'll do 16:9 but only if it's an upgrade in resolution so that I wouldn't notice the switch. I take it you bought one Wev?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Nope, have just been following the topic closely since February of this year. I first tuned into it over at OCN, another forum that I visit occasionally. It started out as a "club" for the Catleaps, and quickly grew to include other S.Korean "branded" units. I've done a ton of research, talked to a lot of people and investigated via my internal sources (our company does a bunch of LCD / LED / Plasma factory reconditioning for many of the major brands and retailers). I would already own one if it weren't for the lack of HDCP though. Well, that and I'm having a hard time giving up my premium Acer 24" 1920x1200 monitor that I've had for a couple years. It's really been a jewel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really been a jewel. Understandable. I wouldn't be so keen in upgrading if my 24" wasn't a TN panel. I've been wanting to check out IPS for a while now. So it'd be an upgrade on three fronts. The one is a gift and a curse (resolution) because I'd have to upgrade my graphics card more often to keep up. Then again it probably won't be THAT much more stressful. But the lack of HDCP is the primary deterrant at this time for me as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted August 18, 2012 Posted August 18, 2012 One of those 27" IPS panels will be my next monitor...whenever my beastly 42" monitor dies. It just keeps on truckin'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be a change, going from 42" to 27". You won't have to sit in the next room over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was aiming at just rustling your jimmies but I would actually be interested in seeing how sharp it is.

I just couldn't imagine it terribly so Gimme a few minutes. It's a large format display - it's easily as sharp as any LCD I've seen (TN, IPS, whatever).
