16:10 format (because I do Maya work.) 24" IPS (I just like the better colors and viewing angles.) Matte (I can't always control the reflections from the light outside so glossy is not ideal.) Rotate/Pivot to portrait mode. (its nice when editing code.) | ||

These are standard gamut (roughly sRGB). There are wide-gamut options that are more expensive, but if you don't need one, it's more trouble than it's worth. | ||

 ), Dell P1911 (19" is a 100% no go), and Dell U2412M. I kinda want to try something that is flickerfree, and did stumble on Eizo EV2436W but maybe its easier to talk them into getting me a Dell U2415 than the Eizo.I could never afford an Eizo when I was younger to I'm a bit tempted to go for that one. But the practical side of me just want to know if there is any big up/down sides between the U2415 and the Eizo EV2436W. EDIT: Cheers Myrmidon for answering. And HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :D | ||

I just found this 144 Hz 1080p TN panel for only €210. It's cheaper than BenQ's XL2411Z, so I'm wondering what the catch is. Bad colors or bad strobing or something? | ||

I could see colors and anti-blur being bad. no strobing either but I forgot what that implies hmm for these misgivings it makes sense to get the more expensive benq i would say. just thought it was curious to see a cheap monitor | ||

So that's the extra blur reduction. All of these are using the same AUO TN panels so colors aren't great on all of them, though out-of-box settings, gamma, etc. may be somewhat different. Asus VG248QE used the same panel but tuned it to boost up dark grays for visibility in games, making them more different from black, objectively less accurate, and subjectively duller looking on the whole. | ||

I've got two Dell P2314H monitors, and they're fine, but because of how and where I have to put the lighting there's a reflection on the screen from the lamp. Is there anything that could make that hopefully go away? (Besides moving the light - wiring makes that a pain and I'd rather avoid it if there's a filter or something I could put on the screen.) The panels already have a medium antiglare matte finish. You could diffuse it even more, but at the cost of degrading the quality of the actual image. I mean, everything you can do is a band-aid. You either move the monitor or change where the light goes. That's really what it comes down to. If the light is directly overhead, a shroud on top of the monitor like some professional monitors come with could work. If you just need light in the room but not around where computer is, maybe you could block some of the light coming from the lamp? But if your monitors are close to the wall like many set up their rooms, there are limited options unless you rearrange furniture and where stuff goes. It could be worth it for your eyes, though. Light sources behind you are terrible if you're trying to use monitors. Also, do you really have to use that lamp? There are all kinds of other light fixtures, desk lamps, LED lighting strips, etc. that could provide illumination instead.

I don't think anybody wants to list every known model of potential interest to any certain segment that may drop in price into or below that range. Or at least, I don't! | ||

I don't necessarily need to use that light fixture, but it's location is because of outlet placement. It's the only switch controlled outlet in the room. I was thinking of getting some LED strips from IKEA (there being one nearby) and possibly putting them behind my monitors on the underside of my desk (glass and steel desk). Might help a little bit. | ||

Maybe try using a much dimmer bulb there (so you can presumably flip the switch and actually see stuff in the room) and/or blocking some of the light and then using LED strips or a desk lamp, etc. that doesn't point light at the monitors to raise back up the room illumination to a reasonable level. A switch on the desk controlling that auxiliary lighting shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Or maybe, depending on the type of bulb and fixture, you could use an extension so as to reposition where the light is. Depending on the angle, you also might be able to find a bulb with a dispersion pattern that doesn't laser beam your monitors. ...This is the interior decorating thread, right?

If 27" 1080p isn't too low-density for you, there are options there, for example. On November 24 2014 15:02 LeperKahn wrote: Any obviously awesome black friday deals on smaller secondary monitors? (Considering getting another one if there is a good deal. I've only used one before, and I don't have enough room for another 24" one on my desk.) Particularly one that could be used in a vertical orientation for reading books and working on homework. With a clamp VESA mount you probably wouldn't need something that small, if space is the issue. But it sounds like price may be as well. Note that TN panels look terrible in portrait mode because the top/bottom issues now become left/right side issues and that's much easier to see. Would say a 19" 5:4 display also work? I haven't been looking for deals, unfortunately, so I couldn't say. | ||

The latter if you want much better black levels and no off-angle "IPS glow" on dark content at the expense of slightly more motion blur and a little worse general off-angle viewing performance. Aside from the options in the OP and similar models just different in size, look for recent Samsung PLS monitors or Asus models using IPS panels (these will advertise 178/178 viewing angles) and recent VA monitors sold by BenQ (these will advertise 3000:1 or 5000:1 static contrast ratio). Most of these options are $200-250 range or less normally, even without sales. | ||
