When
I was thinking about computer monitor for myself, size was one issue. Since I'm
spending most of my working day in front of it, I have decided to go for 23
inch wide LED IPS monitor. After a year of watching it, I may say that I would
be happier with 27 inch, not because bigger is better, but because I really
have that feeling. Anyway, a year ago I have bought LG monitor since it was
best priced IPS (cheapest) monitor but at this point, I would go for one of
next three.
ViewSonic VX2703MH-LED 27-Inch
LED-Lit LCD Monitor
On
my list for this article, this ViewSonic 27 inch wide monitor is the cheapest.
That doesn't mean that it is the worst; that means that it is chosen by me as
one of the interesting. When talking about performance and capabilities, this
is well equipped device. First of all, as it names says, it is 27 inch wide LED
monitor with full HD native 1920x1080 pixel resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio.
Moreover, it is capable to sense 4:3 images to not stretch it which may be
handy for some people.
Also,
it has 10M:1 dynamic contrast ratio for good brightness and amazing image
reproduction so image shown will be sharp, vivid while text will be crisp and
easy to read. It comes with HDMI and DVI inputs with HDCP, 3 ms response time
(I do believe for gray-to-gray) and it has integrated power and built in
speakers. Basically, it is good home and great office computer monitor.
ViewSonic VX2703MH comes with 100x100mm VESA compliant for wall mount or
monitor stands.
After
going through tons of user reviews, I have noticed mixed opinions. Most of
everyday users state that they are amazed with this LED monitor and they would
buy it again while high demanding users state that it is not as good as
$100-200 monitors. Well, as expected! For list price of $240 you cant find much
better computer monitor for sure!
Once
you decide to purchase monitor, you will find tons in $150-$200 price range,
but why would you go for twice as expensive? Because, you are looking for
something more, and this Dell UltraSharp U2412M is that "more" that
you want! Most computer monitors are nowadays with 16:9 aspect ratio and
1920x1080 pixel resolution, while this one is 1920x1200 resolution and 16:10
aspect ratio and believe me, those 120 pixels make difference once you start
using it.
When
talking about package, performance and capabilities, I would say that it comes
with DVI-D with HDCP connection, 1 DisplayPort, 1 VGA, 1 USB 2.0 upstream and 4
USB 2.0 downstream ports. Also, it comes with 3 year limited warranty.
Moreover, it is IPS display that is capable of reproducing true image without
blur, with great colors and without over saturation. Additionally, you are able
to shift it vertically and see more of the webpage or your document when
reading without worry that there will be some kind of color problem. It is just
amazing!
Are
you looking for something really special? For a real gem for an affordable
price? Well, ASUS MX279H is something special for sure! Beautiful design,
something that will blow away anyone when they just look at it. MX 279H is
beautiful, ultra slim 27 inch wide IPS display with 178 degree viewing angle.
It supports Full HD 1920x1080 pixel resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio. ASUS put
extra effort and equipped it with 80M:1 smart contrast technology that will
deliver very vivid and live like image quality. Moreover, you will find two 3
watt speakers just in case that you need them.
Let's
put aside that great look, when talking about pros and cons of MX279H we can
say that it is very stable on its stand, its thin with near to edge matte
screen. Color reproduction is more then excellent, image is very bright and
sharp with even LED backlight with almost none backlight bleed. Touch controls
are fluid and easy to use. On a plus side, I may add that it has dual HDMI
input for additional source. On a negative side, I could say that ports on this
monitor are aligned perpendicular to the monitor which may bother some users as
cable management can be a bit more complicated. Also, if you are a hardcore
player, you will notice that it is not the quickest on the market.
In
overall, for the list price at the moment of about $310 you can buy many
interesting monitors, but this one just sticks out. It is beautiful, 27 inch
wide display that you will love for sure. If you are not a hardcore gamer than
you will be more than satisfied. There is not much more to be said, this could
be next on my purchase list!
