Gaming Monitor

Didn't bite on the monitor. :(

Found out I might be moving so I'm gonna wait till after-wards.

Lol not sure what I will do with 2 monitors now, but I have been wanting a 24 inch for a long time, couldn't afford one when I was married. I am still really impressed with this Asus.

Just hook both monitors up to your video card for some dual monitor action. Once you have all that desktop space to work with it'll be hard to go back to 1.

I have neither the income nor the desk space to support that kind of craziness. :)

Got my second u2311h, and it's weird, the colors are slightly different than my first one. The first one looked slightly cooler while this one looks slightly warmer. It kind of bugs me, so now I'm looking at colorimeters to try and get both of them to look the same.

I've been thinking of getting the ASUS VW246H (same one Learux mentioned) when I build a new comp soon. I've been saying I'll build a new comp "soon" for over half a year now, but my current desktop is really starting to tick me off with some problems it's having so I'm closer now than I've been for a while.

5 star rating on the above monitor on Newegg, with 931 reviews. Not bad.

This one that OS-Wiz recommended on the first page looks pretty decent too, though, and I've always had a lot of success with Samsung TVs and monitors.

Silly question: But are they both on the same color profile, settings, etc? (I'm assuming yes, but it is worth asking.)

I just got that one because of his recommendation and the newegg ratings. I couldn't be more happier with it. Awesome monitor for a great price. I have been putting off upgrading too. I may try to get another 6 months out of my current build.

The ASUS or the Samsung?

::edit::
Nevermind, read your earlier post.

Looking at the Asus as well. Hoping to buy something in a month. I figure we'll sell our current CRT HD TV and then use this as a temp tv hooked up to the game systems.

Then just buy a new flat panel tv when we get to MN.

Yeah, that was the first thing I checked.

Even if that's the case there can still be differences between two of the same model monitor. My two screens here at work actually have pretty different settings to make them look the same. For example, one's contrast is set to 33 and the other is at 45 in order to achieve the same visual level .

I broke down and bought a dell st2210, a 21.5" monitor. What a huge improvement over my old 17" CRT. I can play Crysis at 1920x1080. Now I've just gotta upgrade the ol video card :o
