28" for >£300?

 

[FarFarAway]

Not too shabby, dunno what the panel is like though, possibly a TN?

 

[Luigi]

Been around for a while, considered it myself at one point

Don't know much about LCD's...though been considering getting rid of my 22" for a while and getting something bigger.

Some might call it compensating...but damn, 28" monitor :O

 

[Barry]

24" is big enough... really.

 

[Mr. Smith]

Oooh Ijust bought a new tv but this might be too good to pass up! Nice find... Any other 28" monitors?

3ms response time almost certainly confirms a TN panel. If you've never had a MVA or or IPS panel, it should be fine. Die hards at [H] would give you an earful about the difference between TN and MVA/IPS. Having never had a MVA/IPS panel myself, I couldn't really say. Though I'm pretty sure I saw a 26" TN and a MVA/IPS 24" side by side at a store recently and the 24" definitely had nicer colors <shrugs>

If you want to find out whether your LCD panel is TN or not, you can do what people call the globe test:

ever taken an image (jpg, bmp, etc) into photoshop or any imaging program and did the invert option?

on a TN matrix panel, viewing THIS image straight on will look normal

however, looking at the image from BELOW the monitor and staring straight up will cause the image to basically invert, like this

now, it won't normally be that durastic, but it's a very easy thing to notice. if you have a TN, the screen colors will start to change to a "Negative" effect, such as an invert.

Yeah once you've had a good quality screen you won't be able to go back

This monitor is oh so very tempting...

Would anyone be interested in a 22" Belinea for ~£100 by any chance??

 

[Luigi]

Well then best not get one

 

[Bungral]

Thing is.. The resolution isn't any bigger than a 24".. Just larger pixels.

Happy with my 24"

 

[Ham]

24" is big enough... really.

No it isn't. I'm seriously considering a third monitor cos my 24" + 22" combo isn't enough...

If you want to find out whether your LCD panel is TN or not, you can do what people call the globe test:

That dosn't work here :-/. My TN pannel 22" just goes dark when looked at from too extreme angle. All looks fine every way on the 2407 though

This is true, but it just seems like too much of a good deal to pass up on.. y'know ?

 

[-VK-]

Must say I'm very tempted...New rig coming I must have a a new experience!

Spose so... Tis great if you're in the market for a monitor.

Ok so Misco have one cheaper at £259.99 inc. Even though the last character in the model number is different, I'm pretty sure these are the same monitor.

OCUK says its 3ms while Misco say it's 5ms but then when you click the Misco gallary it's 3ms again.

No DVI... But VGA and HDMI.

Device Type: Active Matrix TFT Monitor

All LCD monitors are TFT Just different variations of technology in the panel itself

[wigseryc]

aer Misco as reliable as OCUK?

I shouldn't say reliable, as i've heard many a horror story regarding OCUK.. So, are Misco fully legit? Any good/bad experiences?
