To beat Starfyre with this badass high quality 24" semi-professional isp monitor even though I should probably save up for a new mobo and cpu.

$569.99

Paint a fence: $300
Set up a website for someone: $250-$300
Do chores: $???

I have a plan, bitch, and this time you're going to LOSE.

If you do get $300 from the fence and around $250 from the website, you have $550.

Thats like, 20 less than you need.
That would be easy..also, it will be even easier if you get $300 for the website


$300 for a fence lol ;-;



Also, methinks my monitor is very similar to this one

So you're getting a new monitor because Starfyre got a bigger one than yours?

I'm going out on a limb here to say that he's probably getting one because he wants one. I'm just guessing though.

The monitor I linked (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236033) is almost $300 cheaper (you don't want to get the ultra cheapest, it will be utter shit), has all the connections (VGA / DVI / HDMI), has a built in USB hub and even has a webcam on it so you can pretend you're on an imac.

That HP monitor has 400CD/m2 brightness, this one has 450. They both have the same contrast ratio. The HP one is 6ms grey to grey and 12ms for a full opposite shift, the ASUS simply says 2ms, but even if it's the easiest g2g, 2ms is good.

Idiot.


Good tier: Dell / Viewsonic / Samsung

Ok tier: Acer / ASUS / LG / HP / Hanns G

Shit tier: The rest

And you don't need a IPS panel, a TN one will do you fine.

I want a new monitor. I need more workspace, a good picture, no dead pixels, and a monitor I don't need to prop up with a dining mat. I've been wanting one since late 2007.

That HP monitor has 400CD/m2 brightness, this one has 450. They both have the same contrast ratio. The HP one is 6ms grey to grey and 12ms for a full opposite shift, the ASUS simply says 2ms, but even if it's the easiest g2g, 2ms is good.
The extra 50CD/m2 really doesn't matter that much, I can see my 300CD/m2 fine. I'm fine with my current response time, a couple ms increase won't do any harm. TN's usually have faster response times, so this was expected.

And you don't need a IPS panel, a TN one will do you fine.
But I'm looking to get more into web design and video editing, and IPS panels have better color, picture, and viewing angle. A higher viewing angle is important, especially since it's a pretty big monitor, and I tend to sit close to mine.

Size has nothing to do with web design, and I have a 19 inch. I'm looking for more workspace. :|

Irock is getting this monitor because Jon (yeah, Jon from Stencyl) told him to get it.

the only reason you need a large monitor is for visual work or programming work

I'm going to take a shower because Irock took one and I want to be cleaner than Irock. Not because I like to be hygienic or anything, but because Irock takes showers and I have to be better than Irock.

I took a 45 minute shower, you're going to have to get your ass in gear if you're willing to be better than me.
