LED monitors to choose from

[harshal]

I am building my rig for scientific computing and already discussing here. I am confused about which monitor I should choose among following. I would like to go a monitor with LED backlighting support. I used 'newegg.com' reviews to short list these monitors, but I am open to suggestions.

(Order does not indicate precedence)

• ASUS VS247H-P
• ASUS VE248H
• ASUS VH238H
• ASUS VH242H
• Dell ST2420L

I could not discover or guess what ASUS series VS/VH/VE/VK stand for. Also I am not comfortable with ASCR (ASUS name for dynamic contrast ratio) but could not find static ratios too. My budget is between 150 and 200 (equivalent Indian Rupees 10-12K after taxes).

Shopping for computer monitors by remote control is risky. The monitors which you list seem to score around 8.8 on the Test Freak site: http://www.testfreaks.com/monitors/

Based on the pricing, they all seem to be TN panels. If at all possible, try to take a look at the candidates before committing to purchase. Otherwise, I would just read the buyers reviews. Some of the listed panels seem to have greater than average reliability risks (based on user reports).

I have finally narrowed down to ASUS VS247H-P. Am I making a mistake?

I am confused with your comment. Are you saying me to buy or not to buy VS247H-P?

Is Dell Ultrasharp U2211H a good buy vis-e-vis above model, albeit smaller?

find out if xbit labs has a review on the monitor, they are in depth.

if you are willing to sacrifice some size for better quality at similar price range with the dell ips, yes the dell is far better.

ips > cheap tn display.
led is not a quality factor...remember this.

Hmm! I There is one model Asus ML238H which has eIPS panel, sort of value for money. Reviews also praise it in general. What say you?

Lol doesn't matter what i say, what matters is if you find a review with credibility like those on xbitlabs, many sites review and don't really test much of anything, and then say its pretty good, it has no meaning. i don't know if there are as good reviews for that monitor out there, you'll have to look, i'm too lazy

Yeah ! In fact, I am desperately looking for good reviews. However, I trust reviews of verified owners on sites such newegg and amazon.

I too value this quality () But I appreciate your help indeed !

As you suggested, I found a detailed review of Asus ML239H with IPS panel.
In earlier post, I mistakenly put Asus ML238H assuming that it has IPS panel instead.

I am just suggested to have a look at Dell UltraSharp U2211H and U2312HM. Between these two, I am in favour of U2312HM as it is thin due to LED backlighting. Review too praises it.

I am thoroughly confused now. :'(
