27" asus monitor for everyday computer use?

<< < (3/3)

Blanka:
For that money, get a IPS/PVA screen 21-23 inch with the same resolution. 1920x1080 sucks big time on 27 inch, especially in a TN screen. As the corners are so far from the center, you already have bad viewing angles when you are straight in front!

Seems like Newegg refuses to sell good screens. It always puzzles me why good panels are so hard to get in the US. All European quality screens are unavailable to you guys.
Dell U2312HM: can't find it
Have a look at this list and try to find any of them in the US. Good luck:

Id go for it.  I have been using a 24" Benq full hd monitor for about 4 - 5 years now . At the time people said that a screen that size would be bad, but to be honest, I have often considered going bigger. The extra realestate is just priceless as I often have multiple windows open.  I also have a bluray drive on the PC and a 5.1 speaker system. Movies , youtube etc are great on it.  Makes a nice relief to be able to watch full hd movies with surround sound under the disguise of working on the PC.

I bought this one to use in my next cab:

(got it for $240 + tax from Dell a few weeks ago)

I've got project overload at the moment, so I'm using it on my desktop.
It looks good and works better for games & illustrator type stuff,
but I ended up running my web browser and everything else windowed (about the size of my regular monitor)
so I don't have to move my head back and forth so much to read.
I'm basically using it as dual screen with two windows on the same screen.

It feels like it takes more work to do things on this monitor than the old one.
I plan to switch back to my old 19".  That's my take on it.

I have a 27" Viewsonic that is native full HD (1920x1080) and it's fine at that resolution.  I'm no color-reproduction snob so I can't comment there, but it handles fast movement games (PS3 fighters and FPS, for example) without noticeable issue.  

In "everyday" use, especially for writing/reading any kind of text, I too have most programs windowed.  That said, for that purpose it is also fine, there's no blur, text is crisp and readable -- if it's at the panel's native res, it should be, no matter how big or small the panel.  Honestly, my vision(!) is the problem in this scenario because the monitor is a smidge further away from me than I would want it for "work" purposes.  

But that's just it ... (*Jeremy Clarkson voice*) You don't buy a 27" monitor ... to do "work" on it.  ;D  http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=113185.0
