Hi all. I'm going to buy a new monitor and I wanted it to be a 120hz one. I usually play a lot FPS games, so I want it to be smooth, responsive and fast. I found many reviews of the BENQ monitor (like http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_xl2410t.htm) saying that despite it's not very accurate in color terms, is VERY, VERY fast and smooth, ideal for FPS games. My other option was the Samsung S23A750D 23" LED 3D but I wasn't able to find any review on google. Anyone know anything about this monitor? Wich one should I buy? Thanks and sorry for the bad english.
I own the Samsung S27A750D 27", it's an excellent monitor for FPS games although there are a few issues with it. 1) On occasion the monitor will lose signal when connected to displayport which is the only video output for 120Hz...HDMI only allows up to 60Hz. 2) Sometimes when waking your computer up from sleep mode the monitor won't power back on. 3) It has a glossy screen, this may be annoying for some who don't like the screen to reflect. 4) It's default brightness is too bright, I currently have mine at 40% for both brightness & contrast. 5) Green ghosting on some games if you haven't installed the monitor drivers.
I bought an 23" Alienware Optx from Dell and it's pretty good. Was going to get the Samsung but didn't like the glossy screen (I never play in a completely darkened room so it would have been an issue). They're the only 2 brands I'd recommend.
@beast, I also just purchased that monitor along with a hd5970, have u had any problems with the tridef software saying "please connect to a compatible 3d display" error code 00300135 "3d is disabled"
Would u use a dvi to hdmi cable or a display port cable? Because I'm using a display port cable, could that be my problem? I'm running at 120hz tho.
HDMI wont let you use 120Hz at 1080p so wont support 3D gaming at 1080p. You can play 1080p 3D movies over HDMI as they run at 60Hz or less.
ok, i got confused again on what hdmi is capable of. reading a bit more on it is see that you are correct indeed. even hdmi 1.4 is still only good for 60hz. 1.4b is coming out sometime and is supost to do 120hz. but thats a non issue at the moment. Here is what tridef has to say so far. Hi Isaac, From what I can see, you have selected 'Line interlaced' as your 3D output mode? This is not supported by the Samsung 750D as it uses active shutter glasses. As you are using an AMD card from the 5000 series, please select the following from the TriDef 3D Control Panel: Manufacturer: AMD Model: AMD HD3D Technology Or you can select Manufacturer: (standard display types) Model: Side by side Choose the 3D output mode you like the best. If your monitor doesn't switch to 3D automatically, you might have to do it manually via the monitors 3D options menu. Hope this helps. Best regards TriDef Support Hello, and thank you for your respose. I am able to use the standard display type with side by side, but many games crash or do not work correctly. It is also very difficult to open a file under this setting as normal non tridef windows are unreadable, and i have to switch the monitor back to 2d, select the file and then switch it back to side by side 3d. I am not using the line interlaced setting, i am trying to get the Manufacturer: AMD Model: AMD HD3D Technology to work. Under this setting is when i receive the error message. I notice that it says amd hd3d (hdmi 1.4a) Does the also work with a display port cable, or do you have to use an hdmi cable. Thanks again
