Cheapest IPS panel

MoarMAtt · 27 Dec 2011, 17:43

Looking for a new one.
Dont ever want to go back to TN and im looking at the U2711
Any other recommendations to look at?

Depends what size you want, but that big I think you're looking at the DELL screens only really, unless you go 30 and look at the HP/LG/EIZO screens

Smaller (24") you're looking at DELL, or possibly an SUS/HP, or the LG 23"

Correct me if I'm wrong but these things are anything but cheap

I love the look of them though and would get one if I could afford it, ill stick to my DELL 2410 for now though

Haha I know, although a u2711 isn't exactly cheap, so I put it in there just to show the whole range

I have the U2711, only thing I don't like is the wide color gamut which I don't really like and hardware calibration does not help.

I bought a Dell U2311H for cheap about 6 months ago.

Thanks guys! I am at the moment rocking a Dell 2209WAf and i really like it but im looking for something bigger..
Alas these huge price tags on 2560x1440 screens! GAH!

When are they going to come down finally?

I think Hazro do some of the cheapest 2560x1440 resolution LED monitors. Can be had for £400 ($600 or so) for the 8 bit panels. No sign of them on Newegg though and they only seem to be on the OCUK and Scan webstores in the UK at the minute as well. Scan.co.uk has the more expensive 10 bit panel at £527.

Yet but still looks much different from a normal "sRGB" screen. In that mode colors seem washed out.

Sucks! Wanted to get the U2711 as secondary screen...

I got a U2312HM just before Christmas for only 184€ and I love it.

I just recently got a LG IPS225 (1920x1080 @ 21.5") for 155 Euro, they come color calibrated.

I love my U2711! Was really worth the money.

MoarMAtt · 14 Jan 2012, 01:13

Found a Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC for 550 on CL today.. Thinking of biting the bullet on it. No VGA or HDMI but it does have a SIPS Panel. I dunno, its an older screen though. Thoughts?

longweight · 14 Jan 2012, 10:03

Never owned one but I have only heard good things about them! Would go for it if you don't need accurate colours for work.

MoarMAtt · 14 Jan 2012, 19:48

just wanting it for home use. I love my 2209 thats an IPS but its sooo small! AHHH Im meeting up with the dude today to figure out if i like the color reproduction and black on it.

MoarMAtt · 16 Jan 2012, 03:55

Just wanted to update on this. Got the 30inch and all i have to say is that i love it.

Blacks and colors look amazing and very vivid. Im really happy with the purchase. 2560x1600 is GREAT!
Thank you everyone for the input. I was going to use my 2209 as an off monitor but its just going to sit in the corner for the time being while i get used to this monster.

30" Dell might be my tax return purchase this year. I'm glad you hear you like it. I played around with a 27" Apple Cinema Display this weekend, and I think I could get use a single, large-format monitor. I have used multi-monitor setups over the last several years, but as long as I don't lose real-estate pixel-wise, I think the switch wouldn't be too difficult to manage.

GeorgeStorm · 16 Jan 2012, 17:30

Looks very nice, not heard anyone not be anything but over the moon when they finally took the plunge to 2560x1600.

If I had the money I'd join you

MoarMAtt · 16 Jan 2012, 17:36

Its a personal preference for sure, I have 2 screens at work (20@1200x1600 and 24@1920x1200) and i like it for the multitasking and the ability to have that much functionality.
But for home i guess id rather get away from that and just relax.
The screen def was the best purchase i have made this year and i dont think anything will top it.
The lack of inputs are def disheartening though.
The 27 ACD is great if you have a MBP though cause of the charging and docking capabilities of it.
