hey...so...about to send back a Dell U2419H that I've been trying for 2 weeks
because....
display whites just don't look quite as bright and white - could be the anti glare coating
....which means I end up spending more time trying to adjust it using the buttons
....which are mounted underneath, and are horrible to press
it also has some features I dont need - portait, left/right. usb hub is 2-port, which is pretty poor (maybe standard, but 2 extra [imo] is poor).
I bought it because ;
came up in recommended reviews,
it's Dell
wasn't cheap, and I'm ok spending a bit extra to get a decent product
anyway
considering...
Samsung S24F350
ASUS VA249HE
ViewSonic VA2418-SH. (my existing viewsonic vx912 just went. I'm not 'brand faithful' - but....wotever?)
they are all about £100 - I dont mind spending more....but if a decent price is £100, it's £100
I might also add ViewSonic VP2458. it's nearly twice the price of the VA2418 above - appears to be because of better colour reproduction? the Dell is more expensive than the VP2458, so the VP2458 @ nearly twice is ok - I'm fine spending a bit more to get a better product
samsung and Asus are both decent names...Viewsonic because, why not
all from amazon (because...its as good as any)
so my main requirements are
windows work (decent crisp white image)
films - the things that are needed for good image quality - reasonable response and colour reproduction/blackish blacks
(basically IPS) ?
buttons that are actually useable
won't or barely using it for gaming - don't need 1ms response
I'll use amazon again. it's possible to return, the main reason.
