I just got this one for $80 open box
The Asus VE monitors have issues with ghosting. Not sure if it's true or not, just what I've read and what one of my friends claims.
Just there yesterday looking and they killed of a lot of their stock in that segment
The whole 2 and 5 ms response is deceive... in many cases those specs are the same dependent on which manner the advertise the specification.Originally Posted by SeanPoe;14415272
Edit: Even the newegg reviews have tons of people saying it has noticeable ghosting compared to other 5ms monitors (and it's supposedly a 2ms response time monitor).![thinking.gif]( "thinking.gif")

Response times, if they actually had merit, should tell you about how sensitive a display is to ghosting. To figure out how much ghosting a display has, you can look at online reviews. They might provide pictures of a program called pixperan, which can give you somewhat of a picture how much ghosting a display has. However, you won't find reviews that have this on anything but the most popular models. Otherwise you are just going to have to trust short comments and statements about the ghosting. Not too much to worry though, no modern popular TN has horrible ghosting. Stated contrast ratios are also pretty much lies, though I think most LCDs you will find will have a decent contrast anyways, there shouldn't be too much worrying about that. If there is an extensive and detailed review of a monitor by a good reviewer, they will test the contrast ratios of a monitor on every brightness setting. However, I do not expect lower end displays to get these kinds of reviews almost ever. Clarity is mostly affected by resolution and how vivid the colors are. (for a static picture, for a moving one, amount of ghosting also applies) In short, don't trust the stats /educate The top dogs in the lower end monitor market are usually asus and acer. As stated above, the VH series is very popular in the lower end market and doesn't fail to impress for that tier of monitor. And as also stated above if you are willing to go open box, you might save some money/get a better model for the same price. |
