Any IPS or VA panels 27 inch 1920x1200 or 1080?

[zod96]

I'd like to get a 27 inch monitor with 1920x1200 or 1920x1080 resolution. Either IPS or VA are their any, I can't seem to find any. And this would be for BF3...

I did find this:

Anyone know anything about it?

that ought to be last of them.
Samsung 275T and Dell Ultrasharp 2707WFP were 27" PVA panels, but they are not being built anymore.

BTW That BenQ ( I know nothing of it beside it uses AU Optronics AMVA panel) is $100 cheaper on newegg.

Check out the Samsung 650 series.

MVA Panels.

Why not get a 2560 x 1440 27" panel, I think all those with that kind of resolution are IPS panels. Considering the monitor you linked is $500 already I think these panels are only about 100-200 more.

I like that samsung. But how is it on games like BF3?

 

[zod96]

Am looking to get a bigger monitor then my U2410. I saw the samsung S27A650D and it fits the bill perfect. But I can't find any info on the monitor. How well would it do in games like BF3? I use Vysnc also...and when I look at the specs for the monitors it lists the view angles as 178/160 isn't that a TN then?

I'm not sure why you want a bigger monitor at the same resolution. Unless you sit quite a ways from it you're going to see some graininess compared to your U2410, *especially* if you put them right next to each other.

That Samsung you're asking about is an MVA panel. A viewing angle of 180º means a full arc of view from the front of the monitor. 178º is nearly perfect. Though the product page for that monitor actually lists 170°/160° but that's still pretty good (the 170 is horizontal, the 160 is vertical). The viewing angle specs manufacturers list for TN panels are almost always complete fabrications, BTW. Any TN panel that lists anything close to 160° for a vertical viewing angle you can just completely throw that out. TN panels are closer to 90° on the vertical, and that's being generous.

This. Going from a smaller monitor to bigger at the same resolution is a basically a downgrade, assuming your distance from the monitor isn't changing and you don't have any vision problems. The picture on a 27" at 1080p will look worse than on a 24" when sitting 2ft away.

The only true upgrade path is a 27" 2560x1440 or 30" 2560x1600 monitor.

The problem with that is. At that high a rez I can't see anything. I want to goto a 27 inch and still be able to read text without using a microscope

turn up the dpi or do non-native resolution on the monitor?

or control+scroll wheel to zoom for web browsers/word etc?

I tried that on a demo model. It still is too small. And even then when you do that some pages look really weird when you use large or custom fonts. And then I would also have to upgrade my video cards to something like crossfire 7950's which would be like another $1000 on top of the $1000 for the monitor. No thanks...

As long as you know what you're getting into... having monitors with different DPI right next to each other would drive me crazy, but I'm overly OCD about lots of stuff. If you're looking for less DPI so things are larger for you, then a 27" monitor at 1920 will be exactly that.

Lol you do not need to SLI two GTX 560 Ti's for 1080p. That setup will work just fine on a 1600p monitor. You are seriously misinformed.

zod96,

Many people (myself included) who want a larger, non-TN screen wind up getting a 32" 1080p TV. I bought one with an IPS panel a couple years ago for $380. At the time that was the same price as the Dell 2408WFP.

I bought a 2408WFP and used it for a few months, but I felt that I couldn't get close enough to it for it to be immersive for gaming (closer than 2' away caused eye strain, and 2' away was not immersive). I sold it at a small loss to buy the 32" TV, and I've been very happy with that purchase for about 2 years now.

Some people still like to sit really close to their 32" TV, but I think 3' to 3.5' is the best viewing distance. I say that because many people do not have a desk that can accommodate that viewing distance.

The decision also depends on the usage of the screen. I bought mine primarily as a gaming monitor. And as a gaming monitor, I would not say that my 32" 1080p TV was a downgrade over the 2408WFP that I used to have. However, with a lower DPI, it will obviously be less crisp for normal office usage and will have less screen real estate than a 2560x1440 monitor.

For me, I actually prefer the lower resolution for gaming, because it allows me to run at the native resolution with a less-expensive video card. Also, at the time the least-expensive 27" non-TN computer monitor was $700, which was completely out of my budget.
