I know IPS panel is superior but I honestly prefer the look of VA because of it contrast level.
They have their own strengths and weaknesses, this is a good deal for anyone looking for a basic primary monitor.
The contrast is ruined though when you move the camera and what’s black turned into a purple smeary mess
why neg @lachlantula ? this is a genuine, meaningful, and neutral comment outlining the fact this monitor is using VA panel, which could be a good thing or a bad thing to certain ppl
mad?
People often forget it's the use case which determines the better or more all options.
Funny story: was comparing a couple of TVs the other day. The cheaper variants were using IPS panels while all the higher tier TVs were using VA.
VA usually get much higher contrast comparing to IPS with the draw back of less viewing angle, and slower response time.
with better backlight technology like mini-LED it can make certain VA panel look amazing (especially with HDR),
and TV doesn't have to be fast (if they want to play consoles competitively, then they should use a Fast-IPS monitor or OLED monitor)
on the other hand with monitor, slow response time can be quite noticeable with mouse cursor etc, although it still have all other VA benefit, if the use case isn't gaming.
OLED and it's variations could also be good TV choices btw.
@OMGJL: Yes, hence my point about use case being what defines preferred options.
On a semi-related note, with all the money poured into flat panel display technology in the past two decades & noting the retail market's role in too frequently opting for the lesser of competing technologies, I look forwards to the day when flat panel imaging finally arrives back at the quality of moving picture we had with CRT.
Not that I long for 19kg 21" displays necessitating metre-plus deep desks but I do miss the days of not worrying about ghosting, tearing and viewing angles.
Even better for a 2nd monitor for the family computer
Would the PS5 be able to play at 100hz or is it locked at 60/120hz?
No 100 hz
60Hz only, so check input latency testing for that setting.
Dont they specialise in making fans. Its like Sony making cars…
you forget gucci is making watch
CM don't make them, they just stick their branding on it.
Curious to know what company makes them for CM
ZshingChing Electronics?
This might be a stupid question so please excuse my ignorance. The monitor has 1 x DP port and 2 x HDMI ports. Does this mean this monitor can act as a dock / hub so if you wanted to run multiple displays you can plug the other displays into the back of this monitor and then have 2 or 3 monitors connected to a PC. I found the below on their website but if someone knows for sure that would be great.
Connect your devices with the I/O ports consisting of:
• 1 x DisplayPort
• 2 x HDMI 2.0
• 1 x 3.5mm Headphone JackNo, if you want to run multiple displays you need to connect the monitors directly to the PC. The different inputs on the monitor let you connect it to different devices and you can switch between them.
Perfect, thanks.
Deal still works with SUMMER10. Just ordered one
Mine arrived. Quick shipping, everything works. Mounted on my VESA arm.
So far so good. I've only used 1080P 24" screens before so it's going to take some getting used to all this extra screen real estate.
Just purchased one from My Deal for the same price from the same seller. I used a $10 sign up coupon with my deal. The catch coupon has expired.
Haven't tested the monitor yet.
It arrived quickly.
Purchased it after reading this review:
https://www.displayninja.com/cooler-master-ga271-review/
At its current price seems like great value.
