dell 3008 LCD

[seanp789]

I've been considering an upgrade from dual Dell 2405s to a Dell 3008.

I like that the 3008 handles over 100% of the color gamut, has S-IPS panel, and has display port.

Has anything been announced in the next 6-8 months that would be better than a 3008. The only others I was considering were the Samung XL24 & XL30 LED backlight models. The XLs are even more absurdly priced than the 3008 so I'm having a hard time viewing them as a contenders.

Don't think there'll be anything better than 3008 soon. I've read somewhere that they are brining quad-hd resolutions (3840x2160) to 30" LCDs.

I think this is the best they have right now.

Heh, eventually maybe.

But we sure as hell better get an OS that can really handle DPI scaling a world of a lot better before that...

On topic, the 3008WFP is certainly arguably the best 30" out there right now.

Get an NEC 2690 or Doublesight

BTW No electronic purchase is an "investment"

On the contrary, a monitor is indeed one of the few pieces of electronics that I consider an investment. Not only can they last through several computer builds, but you stare at it the entire time you're using the PC. A good monitor purchase is a great investment in PC enjoyment, much unlike video cards.

i have a 30" dell and love it, but would really wish they could up the screen size though. next to it i have a 42" LCD tv acting like a 2nd monitor (1080p). I wish that ran at 2560x1600.

An investment is supposted to be a item of value with an expectation of favorable future returns.

An expense is something spent to attain a goal or accomplish a purpose.

It is much wiser to view all computer purchases as expenses rather than investments (same goes for cars).

This is the best money you'll ever spend for PC gaming.

You gain extra satisfaction and utility over time from a larger and better monitor so you are constantly getting returns on your "investment". Go learn some econ as returns doesn't necessarily have to be in material form.
