Graphic card & Gaming Monitor suggestion needed

[dhanraj]

Hi guys..

I am planning to buy a new monitor for my PC..

Please suggest a good gaming monitor with full hd capabilities..
my Budget is 15k for monitor.

I have shortlisted few:

Asus ML248H
Dell ST2410
Dell U2312hm (IPS based.. 8ms response time..)

Is 8ms a real problem for fast paced games.. does it create ghosting problems (i read so in few forums)?

Please suggest any other model as well which can be looked upon..

Currently i have a ATI HD4850 with Corsair vx450.. i am planning to upgrade it to some hd 6xxx series card soon..

Also please suggest a good graphic card for under 10k (also suggest a good psu for the same if vx450 wont suffice)

Thanks..

The total budget it seems is Rs.25000 for you(monitor+GPU+PSU)

Get a Benq G2222HDL @Rs.7600
Corsair GS600 @Rs.4000
SAPPHIRE HD 6870 1GB @Rs.11500

Also what is your processor and mobo?

 

[dhanraj]

The 15k budget is for monitor only.. Rest is additional..

CPU: Core2duo E8400
Board: Asus P5Q-E
Ram: GSkill cl4(4-4-4-12) 4gb (2x2) ram modules

for now don't upgrade GPU. wait for 7870 or at least 7850. no need to upgrade PSU. it'll be sufficient for a 12-13k GPU.

 

[dhanraj]

Ok cool.. Ill wait for the gpu

Any suggestions on a good monitor in 15k range for gaming?

Looking to buy 23" or 24" led screen..

15k it has to be an IPS monitor. Or else just save your money and buy any TN panel for 5k less.

There is an Asus model.

For Dell there is the U2311HM (?)

 

[Souro_Ray]

Dont you mean the Dell U2312HM? Its not available here in Cal yet. I myself am looking for a new monitor; so far, i'm deciding between the Asus PA238Q and the Dell U2312HM..

 

[Sarath]

Yeah buy the Asus model with 10bit panel compared to the 8bit panel of Dell

Which IPS would be a good buy?

is Dell U2311HM good for gaming?
i think it has 8ms response time..

 

[Souro_Ray]

As far as i read on the various forums, unless you're actually looking for these ghosting artefacts in gaming, i doubt you will find them very annoying...

No

how is Asus PA238Q? how much does it cost?

any suggestions on any other models to look at??

 

[Souro_Ray]

The Asus PA238Q is an IPS monitor with LED backlighting. Its from Asus' Pro Art series. It costs around Rs. 16000 inclusive of tax, but thats in Calcutta. Price may vary in other places.

For your budget, the 3 monitors i can think of are the Dell U2311H, Dell U2312HM and the Asus one mentioned above. The first one is an IPS panel, CCFL backlit, the second one is an IPS panel, LED backlit and the third one is the same as the second one.

I cant give you any information on the Dell U2312HM as i couldnt find it anywhere in Calcutta. I was looking for it as well

 

[tkin]

Ips+led=win!!

 

[dhanraj]

from the above suggestions i understand the below models are good in my budget:

1. Dell U2311H
2. Dell U2312HM
3. Asus PA238Q

i think the above dell ones dont have hdmi..

can anybody tell me pros and cons of these models?

and how is Dell AW2210? its 22" though..

 

[Souro_Ray]

The Dell U2312HM is the successor to the Dell U2311H. It is not available in Calcutta yet, though i cannot comment on its availability in other states. I myself am going for the Asus PA238Q.

The first monitor is an IPS panel with CCFL backlighting. IPS is In Plane Switching, one of the types of LCD displays. It allows for more lifelike colour reproduction and allows viewing from different angles without colour distortion/washing out/darkening. But the model has CCFL backlighting, which stands for Cold Cathode Fluoroscent Lamp backlighting. Its an older technology and apparently polluting to the environment during disposal.

The second and third monitors are IPS panels with LED lighting. LED, as you know, is Light Emitting Diodes. Its a more recent technology, cleanly disposable and offers less power consumption than CCFL.

Now, IPS has better colours than TN along a price point; no one can really argue with that. But whether CCFL is better or LED, that is purely up to the end user and i cant comment on that.

You decide which one you want to go for

i don't think that HD7870 or HD 7850 will be priced anywhere within 15k mark. Maybe i'm wrong. :/
