New monitor


Recommended Posts

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

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. :(

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.

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

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...

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
