Exclusive New Mitsubishi 2060u&920 NF DiamondPro Monitors!

[Remedy]

Here it is Fellas Check it

LXi, where are you my friend??

 

[Lore]

Doesn't look too much different than their 2040U.

 

[Remedy]

I know thats what i said to myself, what really pissed me off was that last night it wasn't there. Now all of a sudden i bought my 2040u and they come out with those 2 monitors today. I'm like WTF i was waiting on them until now to come out with something new then i turn my back for 24hours and then BAMM they just come out the blue no PR or anything. But this 2040u is another story eh.

 

[LXi]

I would say the same thing Lore said.

If you don't own this monitor, or one of the Diamond Pro monitors, I suggest getting one HIGHLY. I own the Diamond Pro 710 and this monitor simply has one of the best pictures available today. I've compared it to the GS400 my roommate owns (Sony model which is very similar) and the screen on this monitor just appears larger. It may not be, but I think the picture quality rivals even that of the Sony. Since mitsubishi has its own flavor of the Trinitron (Diamondtron), these are NOT the same monitors, but definitely similar. I picked mine up for $169 on uBid back when they had good deals on uBid. This same monitor runs $330-360 generally, on buy.com and other places.

Hey LXi did you check out that review of the iiyama i20A?

right here

I didn't like that review at all, It didn't give any detail about the image quality or anyother detail about the monitor.

 

[LXi]

Oh damn, does GamersDepot ever, I mean ever, review non-Iiyama monitors? They just reviewed the i70A and i90A, now the i20A. They seriously need to find something else to review other than Iiyama, they have nothing to compare it against and keep claiming them the "best in the class image", "highest quality", "impressive specs" and stuff like that, just a bunch of Iiyama bias.

 

[Remedy]

What about Anands Buyers guide where they use nothing but iilaymas but yet they haven't done any monitor reviews. At least since i been a member of here they haven't, but yet they still recommend them as for i don't know what reason. Its like they don't compare anything they only recommend without even doing a shootout of monitors of some sort.

 

[LXi]

They recommended Sony monitors to those "dream machines", but then again they havent reviewed anything else.

 

[Remedy]

I can't seem to get my 2040u to get the picture to goto corner to corner do you know what the horizontal setting or is it supposed to be like that on all AG type monitors?

 

[tboo]

Damn-I just got a 2040u a few days ago and now the 2060u is out-specs dont look any different, though.

 

[Remedy]

I think it said like the casing is smaller than the 2040u, whatever that means. How much smaller can it get? I think it might include that circuit that eliminates the damper wires from being visiable similar to the dplus200 version. I remember reading at gamepc that the 200 had that circuit but the 2040u didn't have it. So that is probably what the update is. I just got 2040u today for only 780 bucks.

 

[nippyjun]

780 bucks? Where?

 

[LXi]

I rather spend $30 more on the technically superior Samsung 1200NF.

 

[Biggs]

I do believe the 2060u doesn't have BNC capabiliy.

 

[Remedy]

LXi, I looked everywhere for that monitor i went to BB Microcenter and other places and no one knew what i was talking about . Matter of fact they didn't even know that monitor existed. Throw up a link to the specs on that monitor for me.

 

[tboo]

Where the hell did you get a 2040u for 780 bucks? I just got mine 2 weeks ago and the cheapest I could find was Onvia- $1064 minus the 100 off 1000 discount= 964. LXi-just out of curiousity, how is the 1200NF "technically superior" to the 2040u

 

[LXi]

ReMeDy{WcS}:

Visit onvia.com for that monitor.


tboo:

How is it technically superior? In the following ways:

1200NF: 360MHz video bandwdith
2040u: 240MHz(This is a BIG difference in one of the key specifications.)
1200NF: 2048x1536@80Hz
2040u: 2048x1536@75Hz
1200NF: Vertical Rate: 56-185 Hz
2040u: V: 50-160Hz
1200NF: 15 pin D-sub and BNC
2040u: BNC only

 

[tboo]

The 2040u has both BNC and 15pin D-sub. Im sorry Im not sold-there is no way the Samsung 1200nf is a better monitor than the Mitsu 2040u and sell for hundreds of dollars less. A co-worker of mine just got his 1200nf and he wishes he would have got the 2040u like I got. You pay for quality, but its worth it! The only other 21-22 inch monitor I could find that was on par with the Mitsu perhaps a bit better was the NECfp1370 or the IIyama i20a/510 pro(I wasnt able to view in person the i20a).

 

[Floydian]

Out of curiosity, is video bandwidth what corresponds with the RAMDAC on a video card?

 

[LXi]

tboo:

Are you trying to tell me the Samsung is crap? Do you know how severely the bandwidth disadvantage is? And quality? You're telling me Mitsu is better than Samsung in that? That 120MHz video bandwidth difference alone is enough to make it a better monitor, the higher resolution and vertical scan range? Expensive doesnt equal to better and I believe you're smart enough to realize that.

If you think the NEC FP1370 and Iiyama i20A is better than the Mitsu, then you're basically admitting the Samsung is better, because the 1200NF specs are up there with those.

 

[tboo]

Again, sorry LXi but Im not sold-the Samsung isnt crap, but the Mitsu is a better monitor in my opinion.

 

[LXi]

Have you even seen it my friend?

And just out of my curiosity, in what way is the 2040u better than the 1200NF?

Let me tell you first, comparing the spec sheets, anything 2040u is capable of, 1200NF either matches it, or exceeds it.

 

[tonyou]

High video bandwidth enables a monitor to display higher resolutions and refresh rate. Although that does not necessary equal good image quality. If you are strictly comparing two monitors at 1024x768, the monitor with the higher bandwidth may not look any better. But if you are comparing the quality at 1600x1200 or higher (where the monitors' limits are at) then the monitor with a superior video bandwidth maybe better. Agree??

[LXi]

In this case, we should compare them at 2048x1536, take it to their extremes, I'd say 2040u will get a beatdown at that res.
