I really want a 120Hz OLED super uber 30" computer monitor.....but since that doesn't exist, and probably won't for at least another 2 years I want to settle for the best technology now.
I've been looking around the web quite a bit, and it seems the best two 30" monitors for gaming are the HP ZR30w and the Dell U3011. I currently own a Dell 24" widescreen and have been very happy with it. But doing the research it seems that the HP ZR30w has much less input lag (approx 8ms), and therefore would be less susceptable to ghosting. Reading different reviews around the web, people seem to love both monitors, and all the reviewers gave big thumbs up. However, no one has done a comparison review to my knowledge. I did see some comments about a "buzzing" sound coming from the HP when the brightness level is reduced below 80%. I would hate to be a victim of that if it's true.
The Dell has many more inputs and outputs than the HP does. The HP also has no OSD controls, settings have to be changed in software. But then that's what's supposed to give the HP that great input lag value, so it seems to be what you value more. Smoother video games or lots of control settings.
I know I don't want to go with the multiple monitor setup because I don't want to deal with that many wires, power, and configuration issues. I have an ATI Radeon 4890, which should be "good enough" until the new 6900 series ATI's come out (which I plan on buying). So I shouldn't have a resolution problem.
I guess I'd love to hear from anyone who has either of these monitors and their respective experiences. I plan on purchasing from Newegg just in case I get a lemon so I can RMA worry free......
Sorry for the long post, and thanks for any advice!
