roy or shadows, is Asus VG248QE good??

Better off getting BenQ Xl2411Z or XL2420Z. In OCN, it was mentioned by loads of ppl that the colours of BenQ is better than ASUS de... And BenQ is PWM zero flicker.

This was based on my research at that time when i wanted to get VG248QE... Too bad, ASUS took 3 months to bring in since pre order.

Fyi regarding the samsung S27D850T (s32 inch too) deal on courts online, understand from courts perm staff at comex that the price online is wrong. He says they will unlikely honor it.

I just bought mine directly from comex in the end.

 

[enenyi]

Sorry didnt see this. Thanks for ur thoughts enenyi!
Any idea if comex has a set on display? And how much is the acer 4k gsync?

COMEX doesnt seem to have Acer 4k. But I saw one one display at IMM Best Denki a few weeks back. If I remembered it was selling at $899 (or $799, cant remember). U can try asking SLS shops ba.

DBS Live Fresh: 6% or $47.88
DBS Live Fresh gift: $60 or $60+$20

Total: $679 or $659.

$50. Which is pretty good compared to the powerbank freebie imo.
So about $818 (if i fully utilise the vouchers).

Let me know if u get it man! (i'll probably be pissed at that Courts guy, but definitely happy for u)

Well. My current cheapo 22 inch Samsung monitor lasted 5yrs. Still going strong. But I'm concern with warranty as well for a 600 plus purchase, how many yrs warranty does the Samsung model offer? Is 1.07b vs 16m a big difference to the eye?

Unless you are doing professional work like RAW image editing, producing print, making a living on image related work, 16.7 millions of color is more than enough. in fact, wide color gamut is bad for ordinary consumer that do not know how to calibrate their screen. all your photo and web picture will be oversaturated, none of them will looks natural. can be a good thing if you are Samoled lover, the screen used on galaxy phone where everything is "out of the world".

If you care about color, please buy a color calibrator tool to properly calibrate the display. billions or trillions of color is useless if we can't control it.

I will never get Samsung monitor if they keep skimp on simple back light control and use PWM for their back light.

The back light will switch on and off when its set below 30% setting, That's about 160 cd/m2 or way above pro standard of 120 cd/m2, in other words, the monitor back light will be switching on and off ~240 times every seconds for normal brightness setting.

Most of Dell monitor do not use PWM, including U2715H.

Yea I figured 1b is just numbers to me. I went for the dell u2715h instead. So far so good, I realised I have to enable windows aero theme to prevent screen tearing.

Yea he said his full timer at courts. And that the website purchase still has to go through his dpmt, so his pretty sure it was wrong pricing...

But it might just be internal miscomms? Not too sure man

Samsung monitors generally don't last.

I will avoid them at all costs.
