Monitor shootout for new system Samsung vs. Asus vs. LG thoughts?

Monitor shootout for new system Samsung vs. Asus vs. LG thoughts? Discussion re what you use for gaming monitors/ your monitor brand of choice. Looking for 3 monitors for a tri monitor system. Use for gaming 1080p support needed no 3d support or touch needed (won?t rule out one of the monitors being touch screen but I?m leaning away from the idea). Other brands considered (dam you Sony for not creating dedicated pc monitors). Current thoughts include but are not limited to http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-PX2370-Widescreen-Monitor-Charcoal/dp/B00388Y7I2/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top and the Asus ?Designo? series and any decent looking and spec good LG. Suggestions as had never had a desktop before and have no idea where to start? Monitor looking stylish would be good but specs come first. Would respect and appreciate any help.

LG sells their good panels and only use the crap ones for their own monitors. out of those three choices I wouldn't pick any one of them. then again, my next monitor I won't be buying one until I can get a good IPS (not the cheapest, but the next step up, anything higher is just to expensive).

LG, as far as i am concerned they are the best I have seen.

You have one, what makes then so good in your eyes (slight pun there given were talking monitors) would you care to quote your model?

I assume by panel you mean TV panel? Ok what would you pick? ISP?

I managed to get 2 HP 2310m monitors for 150 each. they are pretty nice. there is edge bleeding of course but it's not noticeable unless the screen is completely black. I love the reflective panel and the way it presents the picture. my older monitor is a samsung that's 3-4 years old. i didn't know i was missing anything until i put it next to the HP.

I bought a very expensive Asus monitor a few weeks ago and tested it out, i wasn't impressed at all. I love their thinish frame specially for multiple monitors but i couldn't stand paying so much for colors that weren't so great compared to my HP.

IPS Monitors are the way to go these days, and games responsiveness on them are actually fine really.

Thanks a lot of them seems to have very similar specs these days and most IPS (I have now looked it up) is the general rule for gaming still don?t go for 5ms go for 2m or under? Does it really matter?

Edge bleeding not something I know of on my laptops. Do you know if the HP 2310m is on sale in the UK can?t seem to find it on Amazon UK. Oh and what Asus was it I was looking at some of their new range so would be useful to know what you were looking at.

+1 Any IPS would probably be a good bet.

Yep narrows it down lol not seems a lot of monitors have no USP these days.

samsung ftw.................

Thanks for that, I know this is the older model but what do you or anyone else knows of the http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-PX2370-Widescreen-Monitor-Charcoal/dp/B00388Y7I2/ref=pd_cp_computers_2 PX2370? I guess you might not have this one (state your model won?t you?) Anyone got any reviews of the PX it?s my front runner right now.

You can safely ignore the ms values on pretty much any monitor today. anything 16 or below is fast enough that you won't notice it, and is more than fast enough for gaming.

And on top of that, a 12 ms IPS monitor will in reality be just as fast as a 2-5ms TN monitor, it's only the TN monitor will either be that fast and have crappy colors, or it will have decent colors, but in reality be a 12ms monitor, but in the testign they cheap and only measure white to grey, instead of proper white to black to white.

low ms values only mean that you won't have good saturated colors because the panels is set up to never reach full saturation.

Thanks so open question for all. Other than the ms ips and res what other factors should I be taking into account for a modern gaming monitor just tft vs. LCD? Other than that aesthetics?

TFT is a kind of LCD.

Here's what you should look for/ignore: http://www.maximumtech.com/display-myths-shattered-how-monitor-hdtv-companies-cook-their-specs

tl;dr: if you're getting an IPS panel, you can't go wrong with any since even the low-end IPSes are superior to any TN monitor you can get. Someone made a thread recently that should help you within the IPS choices https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1004870-2324-ips-monitor-poll/

Thanks reading. Can anyone give me a mini check over on the specs of these I?ve look at reviews all sing its praises so it seems I can't decide if I even like the look of it rather like a net top screen. http://www.asus.com/Display/LCD_Monitors/MS246H/

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
