Good product for it's price? Is it cheap? - Hardware & Software

[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009179[/url] $149.99 Acer monitor from newegg, 23", and built-in speakers. I've read some complaints that the speakers are bad, I just wanted to use them for gaming, like playing Shattered Horizon. The stand some also said it's cheap. Do any of you have an acer monitor, and is it good/bad? Thanks!

heard of headphones? monitor speakers are mostly shitty and tinny and quiet

[QUOTE='[EG] Pepper;18600554']heard of headphones? monitor speakers are mostly shitty and tinny and quiet[/QUOTE]I have headphones, but they are uncomfortable, and use them in games that require a mic. If the game doesn't use voicechat, I just use speakers.

I have a monitor with speakers. It lacks basses but otherwise it's okay for a non audiophile. Does its job. If you like the sound you'd buy a cheaper monitor and some 2.1 or 2.nothing speakers... Doesn't cost much and sounds better

Alright, well I've found this one, it adds 1", and it also is $40 more, and has no speakers....Although I prefer Samsung over Acer, I'm not sure which one to pick. I'm leaning to the samsung: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001338[/url]

Samsung is better. HP is even better. Get some speakers with it the ones that are internal sound like your mobile phone. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121002&cm_re=x_140-_-36-121-002-_-Product[/url] = 100x better then internal.

Speakers are $10 and monitor speakers are absolutely horrible and I wouldn't recommend them even to my worst enemies.

And what if I wouldn't use the speakers? Is this a good monitor picture-wise? I wouldn't use the monitor speakers because I always have my headphones on.

5ms response kinda sucks da dick. I looked at 2 24" monitors. One monitor with 5ms response and 50k:1 contrast and 2ms response and 20k:1 contrast. I picked the 2ms response

I have a 5ms monitor and I've never seen any tearing or anything...

I picked the 2ms response[/QUOTE] Anything under 8 ms is not really noticeable At least I've heard so. I remember gaming on some 24+ ms screen and it dragged lines when looking around in FPS games for example. To OP, Samsung makes quality monitors, I've got a 24" from them with 5 ms and I won't ever regret getting it.

[url]http://www.condomcare.co.uk/129-p-durex-avanti-ultima.html[/url] Cheap, affordable and will give you more pleasure than all of the products listed above put together. :) On a serious note, I agree with Blackwater. Samsung do seem to be pretty consistant across the board when it comes to visuals as I have two Samsung televisions which are both now a year old but still look fantastic.

[QUOTE=reapaninja;18604464]general opinion is there's no difference also cool you picked the 2ms, any reason why seeing as you lack one[/QUOTE] 2ms is better for gaming, so I've heard and I can bear having 3ms faster response for lower contrast

[QUOTE=Mortson;18605509][url]http://www.condomcare.co.uk/129-p-durex-avanti-ultima.html[/url][/QUOTE] Does it tear? On the side note. I am looking for a new monitor. An improvement on my current 17" CRT. I was wondering if 2ms monitors are worth getting over 5ms.

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;18809753]I was wondering if 2ms monitors are worth getting over 5ms.[/QUOTE] they're not

[QUOTE=E-hunter;18605444]I have a 5ms monitor and I've never seen any tearing or anything...[/QUOTE] I only get tearing in games I run at 200+ fps. Shit like Garry's Mod, Painkiller, Counter Strike.
