The time has come: In search of a 27" LED

[Sylver]

Hello everyone, family!

Indeed, the moment has finally arrived to renew the old 17" square monitor, which has endured so much. It has been wonderfully amortized, it has been 7 long years, and it still works, but the crossfire is biting my leg asking for full HD, and I think it has a point… and I come to beg for recommendations from the council of wise men, since I am deeply attached to monitors xD

What I am looking for is 10 more inches, all at once, so that there is luxury :ugly:
About 27 inches, to play decently and watch some movies occasionally, that it is LED, with HDMI, full HD... just right for the crossfire 5850 :sisi:
Response time and games: Well, I am a gamer but not excessively, I will clarify this, and it is that I am not very fond of shooters, but I play all kinds of driving games, graphic adventures and action, like Tomb Raider, GTA… I calculate that 5 milliseconds will be enough, I have never experienced ghosting, but let's stick to what you recommend. (Besides, don't I have a crossfire? I am obliged to play! xD)
Contrast, brightness, viewing angle: No idea today, I will watch movies occasionally as I said, but I don't know what values suit me and such. I hope to receive your instructions on this section, as I have no idea how things are currently.
Consumption: It is irrelevant for the moment. In this section, I care a little.
Connections: With HDMI, DVI and such, I am satisfied, but any extra connection, like USB or similar, is welcome.

The budget is 230€ maximum, but as we all know, if the opportunity deserves it, we could stretch a few 10 or 20 euros.
I have had my eye on this one for a while: BenQ GW2750HM 27" LED VA DVI/HDMI Multimedia 9H.L8NLB.QBE Monitor But it is sold out and who knows when they will restock it… :llorar:
I have found this store with free shipping where they have it at a very good price, but I have no idea about its reliability or anything… although it is tempting, a lot.

That's all in broad strokes, I am open to other options, recommendations and whatever, let's see if I can get a monitor that will last another 8 or 10 years :ugly: (innocent of me xDDD)
Thank you very much in advance

Greetings and happy holidays to all! ;D

for that money at 27 I think the benq is the best option

Thanks for replying ferelxyx, so for now a vote for the BenQ that I have seen.
We continue to collect votes :sisi:

I'm quite a fan of the Ultrasharp, but of course, the more affordable Dell 27 is priced at 350 xD If I were to get one, it would probably be a 24. If you're going to sit a bit further away to watch movies, it will be a bit small :ffu:

+1 I've read good reviews and it has a good price, so wait for it to be back in stock and go for it.

So you're using me as a guinea pig :ugly: as I hope to be able to change my monitor in 2013 :troll:

Now seriously for that price it's a good monitor although I've read that the quality of materials is not its strong point.

@Obione:

I find the Ultrasharp pretty great but of course, the more affordable Dell 27 is priced at 350 xD If anything, it would be enough for a 24 inch one. If you're going to sit back a bit to watch movies, it will be a bit small :ffu:

That's the thing, I want a 27" to sit back and watch movies well... the 24 inch was the first option, but seeing the proximity in price and the distance available for movies... I promised myself it wouldn't be less than 27 :ugly:

Regards

[amd125]

I think the same, I have been on the verge of buying a 24" on occasion and I still have my 17" 4:3 but today with the prices that some 27" have I consider it more accurate to go for a 27"

If you do something big and there is space on the desk then it moves a little and that's it, but in the long run it will be appreciated.

Monitors are like hard drives ;D that no matter how big you buy it you always end up filling it :troll: Well the same, I remember when I bought my monitor about 7 years ago. It seemed to me a more than considerable size coming from a 17" CRT and now it seems like a dwarf... and in fact it is a dwarf :eoh: A year and a bit ago in a job I had I had a 22" with Full HD resolution and I didn't go blind miraculously...

@Sylver:

…I promised myself that they wouldn't be less than 27 :ugly:

More than 27" I'm also not sure what's the point of playing near xD

@amd125:

If you make something big and there's space on the desk, it moves a little and that's it, but in the long run it will be appreciated.

That's the problem wei, not everyone has a big desk, I can't move more than half a meter while playing and more than 27" I don't want it (it also doesn't fit me in width xD) even if I put movies 2.5m from the bed. Maybe for cars but it's much better to get an ultrawide :ugly:

[Sylver]

Man, up close it's not the plan, I could go blind in full HD in just a week xDDD I have some room to maneuver fortunately, and if the BenQ is as flat as they say, I'll be able to stick it to the wall as much as possible, getting a not inconsiderable 105 centimeters of separation between it and my eyes xDDD
At times the distance will be greater, because I can grab the keyboard and put it on top when I'm in recliner mode, but normally I tend to write leaning on the desk, and that meter will be the predominant distance :ugly:

Very good that, I will investigate the store to see how it is, although in the one I put the shipping was free, it came out for 230 included, but I have to ask for more security. Many thanks Tecnho :sisi:

I mention it because I have bought from it several times and have had no problems. It is a Valencian store if that helps as a reference. Anyway, the photos are different even though the part number is the same, so make sure it is the same monitor before you buy XD.

[Nemo]

Sylver, I bought my two monitors at that store and everything was perfect. After finalizing the purchase, the next day I had them at home.

Best regards

[Sylver]

Ahh I see it's because you've tried there :sisi: So for two euros more I'm not taking a chance, I'll ask at that store to see if it's the exact model and if everything goes well it will come home. Thank you very much for the help, comrades, I'll keep you posted

Best regards!

I switched to a 24" BenQ Led a few months ago and it has pleasantly surprised me, due to space issues I have almost the length of my arm of separation (take precise measurements!!!!) and that's what Obione says, more inches and I'll go blind, with 24 I have more than enough and for movies I have the 37" plasma next to it.
That 27" looks very good to be honest, luckily I didn't see it before buying the one I have xD
Regards.

Well, first scare of the year (even though it's early to be scared xD)
I received an email this morning from the current market store suggesting that I rate the product I received.
I went to the website to see the status of my order and it says DELIVERED when nothing and no one has arrived here all morning…
I have sent them an email asking what's going on, to see if they respond as soon as possible. I have also told them that throughout the process I have tried to use the shipment tracking they made available to me in the details of my order on their website and there has been no way... I am, at the very least, worried :ffu:
To those of you who have shopped at that store before, has something similar ever happened to you? I don't know if I should wait patiently a little longer or start thinking that they have given my monitor to someone else... :facepalm:
Regards

[Tecnho]

Well that's strange, anyway don't worry if it wasn't a mistake they will tell you, I wouldn't recommend buying there if I hadn't received good treatment, let's just say, you'll tell us how it went and what happened.

[Sylver]

I completely trust your experience with that store, as well as Nemo's, of course. Now let's see if they don't make a fool of me too much and I can have the monitor today... or at least know that it's going to arrive and that I haven't lost it :wall:

[Tecnho]

Anyway, if they have sent it, call the company that delivers it to see what they say.
