hey guys, im lookign for a little bit of help, im interested in buying an LCD with a good resposne time

maybe some like this

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...71547&CatId=170

maybe something with a better, with this kind of response time? ive also never heard of that brand, but looking at the specs, it does sound like a winner....i believe i can spend a little bit more money on one if there is something like this but better....maybe an extra 100 dollars (this is a birthday gift)

anyway, its going to be a primary monitor, used for gaming and moves, surfing, etc....would a monitor with a better contrast ratio/16ms response time be better? or try to find something with a 12 ms and higher contrast ratio? or just something like this but a more reputable brand? (unless this is a reputable brand and i just dont know about them)

anyway guys, i need some help, i dont want to screw this decision up!

any help would be appreciated :D

hehe glad you replied, i honestly figured you would....

im not sure about the Dell, yes its extremely badass, but still....it has a 25ms response time right?

the viewsonic does look good, but it has a 16ms response time, a better viewing angle (170 compared to the sceptre 140) and obviously its well known....but still....imho i think the one i found is better...heh

or am i wrong about dell's response time?

The whole reason why the dell is badass is because it has 16ms. it's also 16x12 (true 4:3) 24 bit color.. usb ports etc.. :p

be warned the colours on the viewsonic VP171B and i suspect the VP191B are not that good. search tomshardware about it. something about colour dithering represent the full range which isn't quite as good. i have no idea about the secptre but i have personally owned 5 samsung lcds and i can vouch their colours are very good and response times are good as well. dell lcds i think are made by samsung. samsung is the #1 lcd seller i believe, and for good reason.

dell 2001FP = Ugly.

Spend some more money to buy an Apple 20" display.

Best money you will ever spend.

Yes go ahead and spend an extra 500.00 on something that has a LOWER RESOLUTION. THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!! :rofl:

      By Copernic · Posted

      BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 by Razvan Serea BetterMediaInfo is a modern, open-source graphical user interface for MediaInfo, designed to improve metadata inspection workflows for audio and video files. It extracts and presents technical parameters such as codec profiles, bitrates, resolution, frame rate, stream ordering, and container-level attributes in a structured, readable layout. The interface is built with clarity and responsiveness in mind, supporting drag-and-drop functionality. It preserves the full feature set of the MediaInfo library while making the data easier to parse for users working in media management, encoding validation, or post-production environments. In short, BetterMediaInfo takes the power of MediaInfo and makes it much easier to use. Whether you're checking video quality, verifying audio settings, or just curious about a file's details, it gives you clear, organized info without the clutter. Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2, which is included in most Windows versions. BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 changelog: Added an Image stream table to the card view and detail view, including type, color space, resolution, and size fields. Added View settings to toggle Image stream tables in card view and detail view. Added BatchMkvMerge to the welcome page with localized descriptions and a GitHub link. Added a portable 7z archive to the Windows release artifacts. Improved first-run language selection by detecting the system language and saving it to configuration. Updated Italian translations.

      Someone forgot to mention EDR in the title ? I think I will not click anymore on the articles written by this author. All are click bait.
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By FBSPL · Posted

      Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.
