Re: Anyone try the 27 inch "Cinema" display from monoprice?

I haven't seen too many reviews outside of people on forums saying they like them. MacWorld has a review up.

Re: Your favorite computer monitor / display?

I have a Dell 24 inch ultra sharp here at work but the video card in my work computer can't drive its 1920x1200 screen effectively. I can watch the windows wobble/redraw when i drag them around. I'm really jonesing for one of those 27" 2K IPS displays out of Korea/China like the CatLeap or its microcenter or monoprice resold counterparts.

I really like that 16:10 form factor, with which I am familiar from my current 24" HP LP2465, but the problem is that the Dell costs about 2/3 as much again as the 27" 16:9 Samsung SyncMaster models with PLS panels, S27A850T and S27A850D, respectively, that I've been eying. And while a larger screen would be nice, the 27" models do provide a sharper image, due to lesser pixel size at max resolution, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the quality of the Samsung models is superior. O well, while waiting for a solution to this problem of what to choose to turn up, I save money, which is probably a good thing as were I to purchase any one of these three models, I'd also have to upgrade from my ancient Geforce 7900 GTX to something significantly more powerful in order to run them....

RE: AOC Outs 27-inch LED Monitor

Not only does Eizo have such a monitor, Samsung does as well, the S27A850D, with a PLS panel. Unfortunately, AOC doesn't inform us as to what sort of panel is used in the monitor mentioned here, which leads me to suspect that it's a TN, with all of the concomitant problems with respect to colour reproduction and viewing angles. From what I've seen of the reviews,however, PLS seems to be as good as IPS, and the Samsung monitor is quite reasonably priced, so I'm thinking of getting one for my setup at home. The only problem is that I'd have to replace my graphic card in order to drive the monitor at max resolution....
