1920x1080 Monitor to make me switch from 1920x1200, July 22, 2011

GENERALI debated whether to get the speed of the ML248H or the higher contrast of this ML249H for some time. There weren't any reviews yet of the 249, and I wasn't able to find either in a store for serious scrutiny. Owners of the ML248H were very happy with their 2ms units. I don't play games, but I do edit video. I decided to go for the contrast ratio, hoping it was for real, and hoping I wouldn't be dinged by the slower redraw stats posted by the factory. So far, if there is a penalty for the speed, I haven't been able to detect it. But the color is amazing.When my 249 arrived, I was surprised to find you could put the stand together without even thinking about looking for a manual. I had seen reviews of the 248 which suggested assembly might be perplexing, but that's not the case.

I have long bought only monitors with 1920x1200 resolution, in the 24" category. I bought this one based on the price, and to see if I could live with losing several lines of resolution. (I do a lot of things that make use of every part of my screen, so I didn't want to give any up.) This was to work as a second monitor, so screen space was not as critical for me.After seeing it hooked up, I have been considering switching my main monitor to this as well. It's a really good looking monitor. Longer term, I'll be setting this up in a 3 or 6 monitor setup.
