New monitor

[danisflying527]

I currently have an asus 24" inch monitor that only has a native res of 1680x1050

I want a new 24" that can go higher and look even sharper!!!

1680x1050 is not exactly a high res and I want a monitor with an even higher one!

Should I? I'm not sure if it will even be any better so that's why I'm asking. I see people with 24" monitor's

that can go to like 1980x1200 or something like that. Wouldn't that look like waaaay sharper???

Thanks in advance

yea, i have a 22" monitor with 1920x1200 res and it's awesome.

if you've got some money, sure - go for it.

As long as it's in a 16:9 resolution, it's an improvement. I've got a 22" monitor that came with my knackered PC that goes up to 1680x1050, which is 16:10. That's not proper widescreen, which is a bit annoying. I've got the same situation with my laptop. 15", 1440x900, 16:10 again. :(

16:10 is the standard for desktop widescreens. IMO it's much better than 16:9's.

Standard 24" LCDs have a resolution of 1920x1200. What Asus monitor do you have? I've never seen one that's actually 1680x1050.

I'll find it but I'm pretty ****ed that I payed for such a good PC when I bought such a crap monitor 0.0

I want the jump to 1920x1200, It will look so much better!

What's it like using a 24" monitor for everyday tasks? Get a bit much? I'm considering getting one (1920x2000).

It's awesome :p Just the right size imo. 30" is too big for me and too expensive. Right now I have a 24" Dell 2408WFP @ 1920x1200 and 20" Dell 2007FP @ 1600x1200. Combined resolution 3520x1200. Best setup I've ever had and I don't plan to upgrade anytime soon.

They're both beautiful S-PVA calibrated panels that offers great viewing angles and color accuracy and saturation.

By the way to the OP if you're after visual experience, I would highly recommend the Dell 2408WFP. Don't jump on those cheap TN panels. I have them around but definitely not what I would use on a daily basis; only for spare computers.

OMG that screen looks beautiful, hmm I could look at buying that one then eh =)

It's funny how your 20" runs at at a higher res than my 24 x_x

TBH theres not much difference between 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 i jumped from 24" to 24" id just stick with what youve got unless you have the extra moolah to get a 30" panel.

well beat me to it :laugh: guess i'll say it anyway

There is no 24" lcd monitor at 1680x1050 (that i could find anyway)

the standard resolution for 22" lcd's are 1680x1050 and theres even a few pushing 1920x1200 it just seems pointless for them to have a 24" at 1680x1050 as the quality would begin to suffer

^ Note just my oppinion :)

you should totally smash the monitor over his head and demand a refund ^_^

seriously though thats messed up who was the guy? should of checked the model # out on the monitor to see what kind of specs it has that would of shown it :p

[danisflying527]

I never even knew about it the whole time that he was telling me that he got me this really awesome 24" monitor

i started to get suspicious when I saw it could only get to 1680x1050, but then he told me that was a really high res

I tried to call him today and hes not answering so Im gunna keep trying

I got this guy through my uncle who also said he was very good. He built my uncles PC about 5 years ago and it had core 2 duo's at 1.6

So I thought he seemed genuine. I'll take your idea though and smash the monitor over his head.

AND TEHN IMA NOT CALL AMUBELNZES AND HE R DIES LAAWWWLLL

Seriously...
