Currently looking at a Samsung S23B370H

Worth it?
in my opinion that is worth it...
Here's the same monitor for R300 less (plus you don't pay delivery).
s23b370h at Takealot
I see there is another Samsung 23" LED for R2100 (the s23b300b) so you may want to consider that as well. I think the only diff is the contrast ratio, but I'll leave it to you to research.
s23b300b at Takealot
I paid less than R2000 (don't recall exact price) for my 23" LG 3D monitor. If 3D is not your thing, there is a 23" LG monitor with IPS display for the same price. I don't see them at takealot or rebeltech atm, but if you shop around I'm sure you'll find them if you are interested.
So R2650 is in my opinion a bit expensive.
don't need a ips panel, it's purely for gaming so ips offers not much.
Tank, you had a look at the AOC brand?
the LG IPS235? got mine for R1800 a few months back at a PC Zone special in Ballito. its fantastic!Quote:

Just make sure you get a high resolution TV with an HDMI port,nothing lower then 1920x1080.(also make sure your GPU has an HDMI port)Quote:

I somehow remember my TV refreshing at 60HzQuote:

Even TV's in the 9k range will have response times around 40ms which is fairly high.
Why not go for a 24"?

Pros:
- Dell's next business day 3 year warranty
- Adjustable Height
- Turn your screen 90 degree for reading
Cons:
- Does not have HDMI.
- Slightly thicker than the Samsung products
And while we are at it about TVs, here's one that doesn't cost an arm and partial liver, but delivers a decent refresh rate:

Putting my tv onto sports mode makes everything in-game look a million times better... (Clearer and better colors)
Isn't the screen a bit too big?Quote:

SO why are you using it? :PQuote:

I've tried a 40'' as well and yes it is too big for: Work or Dota, but it's awesome for shooters/adventure/rpgs/racers. Best would be to use a 23-27" combo'd with one and switch between them :)Quote:

that would be a good sized monitor for a pc
Only? No. Have you tried things like wireless controllers and receivers?Quote:
