This is what Anandtech.com looks like on my new monitor.

[RossMAN]

I miss 16:10 monitors

Tell me about it, searching for the perfect 27" or 29" 16:10 for around $600 ain't easy.

Do they even make them anymore? All I ever seem to find are 16:9. I don't look very hard, but it's just what I've noticed.

There are over 100 that are 23" or larger.

Nah I got this Dell version. I wouldn't touch an LG monitor for a PC.

Open up your Dell and look on back of the Panel = you will see it is a LG Panel...

You said it. Was hoping for something a bit bigger, but just picked up a 16:10 asus 24in IPS panel with a built in usb3 hub for 260 on newegg. Pretty solid deal.

Hah. That's awesome. Still, Dell makes better containers for the panels than LG does. ^_^

lol. lg prolly makes close to 40% of the panel for monitors

 

[shortylickens]

I got an HP l2335 thanks to Anands recommendation.

Still on my desk. And I got a 2nd used one for my game system. Love it.

I can play 1600x1200 games and all the newer titles in standard HD. And any movie.

 

[Cattlegod]

I use a 42" sharp 1080p aquos. Love using a tv and would never go back to a monitor

 

[xeemzor]

Clearly you need to get a smaller monitor.

 

[Ichinisan]

"2560x1080?"

Should it be 2560x1600?

I guess these are new super-wide monitors. I would still prefer some more rows of pixels. 1200 minimum.

I use a 27.5" 1920x1200 Hannspree TV. The panel was originally used in cheap Hanns-G monitors. Makes a good monitor on the cheap and it's way better than most TVs.

 

[Ichinisan]

It is. Buy a Hannspree "28-inch" TV and you'll get a 1920x1200 16:10 monitor. It's a TN panel, but it's a great price for a huge monitor with a USABLE aspect ratio.

 

[preslove]

Bang for the buck is the Monoprice 27" IPS which is under $400, when it is in stock, that is. It only has 1 DVI video connection but that price is tempting.

 

[exdeath]

2560x1600 or go home.

 

[Anubis]

2560x1600 or go home.

ill take 4 2560x1440 for the same price thanks

You can get 8 Civics for the price of a Ferrari too.

You can't drive 4 cars at the same time...

Have you tried holding the Windows logo key and tapping the right arrow on your keyboard?

 

[1sikbITCH]

people actually browse in full screen?

Of course. People actually only have one monitor?

 

[Anubis]

Of course. People actually only have one monitor?

i have 2 running 2560*1440 no reason to full screen one as its just a waste of space

TBH i don't think i have run a browser full screen since the days of 1600x1200 CRTs

 

[Aikouka]

Hah. That's awesome. Still, Dell makes better containers for the panels than LG does. ^_^

Since both of my Dell U2709Ws drop their picture randomly and sometimes multiple times in a row, I really have to beg to differ about Dell's quality. Also consider that these monitors cost around $800 each.

 

[Anonemous]

Aren't those Korean IPS monitors like $400 for a 27" 2560x1440 and $600-700 for 30" 2560x1600?

If you don't like those Monoprice had their 30" monitors for 628 (only dvi) and 713 ( has almost every input) respectively.

Their 27" monitor is $390ish as well. (IPS 2560x1440)

The thin bezel on the LG is so much more sexy & sleek.
