Asus7950DCII · Oct 2, 2012, 07:53 PM

Dell S2330MX Ultra-Slim VS Asus VE228H VS Dell U2312HM UltraSharp

Okay i know they are both excellent monitors but which of them would you get??
your opinion is what i take.

thanks

Frag Maniac · Oct 2, 2012, 09:06 PM

Max budget? Video card? Games you play? Settings you prefer?

Do you know you can get a 27" IPS 2560x1600 Yamakasi Catleap for less than $100 more than that Dell U2312HM? It's actually only $56 more than Newegg's price on the Dell if you factor in shipping.

Even if you have to play at 1920x1080 until you get a more powerful GPU, it has a pretty tight pixel pitch even at 1080p.

Wrigleyvillain · Oct 2, 2012, 09:53 PM

Yes this is not type of decision you should make so quickly and on a whim..

Asus7950DCII · Oct 3, 2012, 07:07 PM

MSI GTX 660TI Power Edition (it is really all i need... and more i guess)
i prefer Max settings.
games i play.... well my cousins friend has a ***GTX 560ti*** and he's getting *40 FPS* on *METRO 2033* high settings... im overwhelemd that a gtx 560 got 40 FPS on high.

so the games are:Battlefield,batman arkham city,CODMW3,fifa 13,minesweepers (i heard that the minesweepers game is a game that A GTX 690 got 20 Fps MAX.

erocker · Oct 3, 2012, 07:11 PM

No doubt the Dell U2312HM UltraSharp is the monitor to go with. One reason... It is IPS. Though if the choice was between the other two monitors I would still go with Dell as I've heard they have a good warranty and service with their monitors.

what resolution you prefer for game? what is your budget? you wanna have max setting on battlefield 3? show your system specs please.

Phusius · Oct 3, 2012, 08:20 PM

I own the S2330MX, and it is a great monitor. However, it only cost me $145.99 free ship no tax off Amazon, if I had the money for the Dell IPS one, I would have went with that, but it is a tad to pricey compared to what I paid for this one on a lightning deal.

Asus7950DCII · Oct 4, 2012, 04:13 PM

What about this LG--> LG IPS231P//link: Open Box: LG IPS231P-BN Black 23" 6ms IPS Panel Fu...

NOTE: i live in israel so prices are troublesome and all.

My System specs:

I5 3570k
Asus P8Z77-V
G.Skill 2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz SNIPER Edition
MSI GTX660 Ti Power Edition
Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200RPM 64MB Sata III ST1000DM003
Samsung 830 Series 2.5'' 64GB SSD
LG UH12LS29 DVD±RW Blu-Ray Combo
SeaSonic 660W Gold X Modular
NZXT Phantom 410
windows 7 proffesional 64 bit

i prefer higher resolutions such as 2560X 1600 and such but its too expensive

+1 on the Catleap or equivalents. Amazing value. Should be able to get it shipped to you on ebay

Asus7950DCII · Oct 4, 2012, 04:27 PM

this whole build i believe is more than enough for battlefield 3

+1 As long as the card has dual link DVI out they are only $300

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Tempered...item1e6fcfb462

If you don't have dual link you need this one

LordJummy · Oct 4, 2012, 05:03 PM

I would either spend a bit more and get the U2412M for about $300 or less, because it's full 16x10 1920x1200. I personally have a couple and love them for editing.

I personally would recommend grabbing a korean IPS off ebay. The crossover 27q pivot edition is awesome. I just got my first one in. It's not quite as good as my U2711, but it's pretty damn close. I got it for $359 on ebay free shipping. Not bad.

mrw1986 · Oct 4, 2012, 05:07 PM

I have the U2312HM and it is hands down the best monitor I've used. Excellent gaming performance and amazing color reproduction.

Asus7950DCII · Oct 4, 2012, 05:13 PM

again how about the LG IPS231P

That is a decent monitor. I've tested one at fry's a while back. It's a cheaper E-IPS panel, but it's still superior to TN panels. DELL's service & warranty is superior to LG as well. Get the U2312HM if you need something in that price range, as some others have said.

Asus7950DCII · Oct 4, 2012, 05:35 PM

okay

repman244 · Oct 4, 2012, 05:40 PM

Get the U2312HM

Capitan Harlock · Oct 4, 2012, 06:09 PM

get something not overpriced for a service that all customer have with other company and dont go at 2560 x 1440 ,the gtx 660 ti is a good card but not a monster at too higher resolutions.

Asus7950DCII · Oct 4, 2012, 08:46 PM

would an MSI 7950 Twin Frozr III be better than MSI GTX 660ti POWER EDITION??

EarthDog · Oct 4, 2012, 08:51 PM

7950 is better than the 660ti.

PopcornMachine · Oct 4, 2012, 09:17 PM

For some reason I assumed you had a ASUS 7950DCII.

Don't know why.

Dell U2312HM UltraSharp

its IPS.

Frag Maniac · Oct 5, 2012, 12:42 AM

There's actually two models of MSI 660 Ti PE, one at 941MHz core, the other better one that OCs higher and more consistently, at 1019MHz core. The higher OCed model has a higher binned chip. The 1019MHz version actually beats the ASUS 660 Ti TOP even with much lower clock settings, including when both are OCed to their max.

I wouldn't really advise 1440p with either of those cards unless you don't mind playing some games at 1080p (BF3 being one of them), which it does pretty well actually at .31mm pixel pitch.

The Catleaps (or Overlords) are good investments in case you end up with a more powerful GPU or SLI on down the road. Hell, I play at 1600x900 and less on my 32" TV all the time and it looks pretty good actually. It's all about balancing res, screen size and viewing distance appropriately.

Asus7950DCII · Oct 5, 2012, 11:16 AM

from the 660ti's im talking about overclocked power edition.
i never really had an ASUS 7950 DCII my name is that because i liked it for a WHILE.
So what your saying is that a Msi Radeon 7950 Twin Frozr III is better than a GTX 660ti?
these benchmarks show otherwise: ( i like bf3) http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU12/400

Frag Maniac Join Date: Nov 2010 Posts: 1,435 (1.55/day) Thanks: 10 Thanked 243 Times in 210 Posts System Specs	There's actually two models of MSI 660 Ti PE, one at 941MHz core, the other better one that OCs higher and more consistently, at 1019MHz core. The higher OCed model has a higher binned chip. The 1019MHz version actually beats the ASUS 660 Ti TOP even with much lower clock settings, including when both are OCed to their max. I wouldn't really advise 1440p with either of those cards unless you don't mind playing some games at 1080p (BF3 being one of them), which it does pretty well actually at .31mm pixel pitch. The Catleaps (or Overlords) are good investments in case you end up with a more powerful GPU or SLI on down the road. Hell, I play at 1600x900 and less on my 32" TV all the time and it looks pretty good actually. It's all about balancing res, screen size and viewing distance appropriately.

Asus7950DCII Join Date: Sep 2012 Posts: 96 (0.40/day) Thanks: 4 Thanked 3 Times in 3 Posts	from the 660ti's im talking about overclocked power edition. i never really had an ASUS 7950 DCII my name is that because i liked it for a WHILE. So what your saying is that a Msi Radeon 7950 Twin Frozr III is better than a GTX 660ti? these benchmarks show otherwise: ( i like bf3) http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU12/400
