rofl. No one could take a joke?

Nice!

I was about three days from ordering the Asus 27" 1080P 2ms which my brother just got for $360-ish @ newegg and the dynamic contrast ratio is not even close to this!

1080p on a 27-inch monitor looks like crap. 2560x1600 is more like it. I hate how all of the monitors these days are like "Full 1080p!!!", and the manufacturers have got people to think that 1080p is the limit....I guess it has something to do that 90% of the world runs on cheap Intel graphics that would commit suicide if hit had to pump out 4mp screens.

I doubt it looks like "crap". I think the monitor is meant to be viewed from a bit farther away than your typical desk monitor. If it had the higher resolution than yeah I could definitely see it being a desk monitor with a LOT of real estate.

I don't know much about the 2560X1600 resolution, but I do know it's relatively expensive. At least when looking at the Dell monitors you are talking about $1000 and up.

In any case, the specs and price seem pretty good, but I am not crazy about the size. I would like to see some cheaper versions in the 23-24 inch range.

 

[dragunover]

Eh, not that great of a product. 75hz, but it's realistically too large for that kind of resolution. My 19.5" CRT looks great with a 2mp resolution, but for a 27"? Nah, not gonna happen. I'm still waiting on manufacturers to push out QFHD 3840x2160 panels...

 

[Neog2]

1600p is the way to go. First monitor I bought with that res was the Gateway XHD3000 awesome monitor, just plagued by all type of
random problems. I have also had the Samsung 305t both of these had problems with 1/4 the screen on the right side first started ghosting then eventually just had green lines all down that side of screen.

I had the HP LP3065 but it went back the next day because it didnt want to act right with newer video cards, plus it doesnt have a scaler built in so 2560x1600 only if you try to switch it kept going into no signal mode and kept turning off.

The gateway one at the time when it came out was the higest rated 30inch several magazines rated it higher than the dell. But everyone has had problems with the gateway because cost cutting when making the monitor.

I am now using two Doublesight DS- 305W monitors and they are working great. But 1080p compared to 1600p its not even a contest. 1600p if you need screen realestate and have the
graphics cards to run it looks great.

I agree. 1080p monitors are nothing special, just tv panels. I'd rather have a 2ms response with 1920x1200 for less than $300. Oh yeah, I already do: An ASUS VW266H.

 

[JohnnyLucky]

I would have thought the claim of the world's first 1ms access time would have been the selling point for hardcore gamers. I would defintely like to see Tom's Hardware do a review and benchmark the actual or average access time.

 

[IzzyCraft]

it's likely to be below 1ms viewsonic doesn't really lie about that they generally have some of the best monitors in response time but they also tend to have some of the crappies contrast and color representation.

 

[LordConrad]

As someone who wears glasses, I like the idea of a 27" monitor running at 1080p. I have my 24" monitor running at 1680x1050 instead of it's native 1920x1200.

 

[Conumdrum]

It's not a high enough refresh rate for 3d glasses. Bahhh.

Old tech already.

It's become difficult to find monitor specs above 1080p these days and that is going to prevent me from making any new monitor purchases for some time to come. I want HDMI and Display Port with much higher than 1080p as the "recommended" or ideal resolution. I appreciate 1080p support so that I know HD video in that format will be supported but that should be obvious when the monitor can push much higher resolutions.

oh snap this is perfect for my situation.

 

[anamaniac]

Cool.
Someone wake me when 4k resolution is injected into mainstream 30" monitors please, I'm gonna go take a nap. This is just boring.
