Catss

It can display 1.04 billion colours rather than the current standard of 16.7 million. It's one of those things that sounds good on paper, but you'll be hard pressed to find any use unless you're seriously into graphic design.

CCFL isn't perfect either, it's slightly warm while LED is a touch cold. Better, but not perfect. However LED draws far less power, generates less heat and doesn't need to warm up. I have both a u2412 and u2410 and honestly think the '12 is better for everyday use of the average comsumer who wants to play games, watch films and do general computing things on the same screen. The '10 obviously still reigns supreme when it comes to absolute accuracy however. I would not have gotten a wide-gambut screen unless you needed it, but otherwise it's an excellent choice.

If you're still looking for one I can offer some advice. I'd recommend against 1920x1080 at 27", the pixel density is too low and it really doesn't look nice. Try for 2560x1440 at that size. Response time and refresh rate mean close to nothing on a modern screen, specs blatently lie and there's no standardised testing. Any blur will come from the internals themselves and manufacturers will never list how they're configured. If you're looking to get a quality screen you'll want to get one with an IPS panel. They have much, much better colour reproduction and can be viewed from any angle without distortion. They used to be prohibitively expensive if you weren't into graphic design or similar, but they've come down dramatically over the past few years to the point where the only reason not to buy one is naïvety. The Dell Ultrasharps are some of the best quality screens available at the moment and pretty well priced considering their customer service and warranty. I'd reccomend the U2312hm (1920x1080, 23"), U2412m (1920x1200, 24") or U2713 (2560x1440, 27") if your budget will stretch that far. If you wait for a sale on the Dell website you can get them 30% off too.

You guys don't post much about music here, but music is really cool, so this thread aims to address this issue. Here's how it works; I'll post an album, you guys can download and listen to it then post your thoughts and opinions (500 word review or x/10, who cares, anything goes) along with a recommendation of your own. Any genre or style whatsoever, we're all hear to experience new things. Just try to include a short bio of the album/band as well as a link for anything particularly obscure and you're golden. Since I'm 100% certain they're going to pop up, please try to avoid animé and video game OSTs unless they're *really* good. This is somewhat acceptable, is not.We'll start with Fantastic Planet by Failure LINK: *snip* Has a very much standard 90s alternative rock sound, easy to get into and enjoy. But that doesn't make it any less of a great album, it's highly refined and a pleasure to listen to. Wikipedia:
