    The Best 2560x1440 Monitor Under $300!

    The Best 2560x1440 Monitor Under $300!
    Acer G257HU smidpx 25-Inch WQHD (2560 x 1440) Widescreen Monitor ReviewAcer's been making monitors for a long time now. They actually bought out one of the biggest panel manufacturers AU Optronics, a Taiwanese company which makes panels for Sony, NEC, Panasonic, LG, Dell, Samsung, and Toshiba.Many Acer panels in the past have been considered poor for gaming because of ghosting effects they produce while gaming. From computerhope.com the definition of Ghosting is as follows: When describing an LCD or flat-panel display, ghosting is used to describe an artifact caused by a slow response time. As the screen refreshes, the human eye still perceives the image previously displayed; causing a smearing or blurring visual effect.Luckily for us gamers this panel comes with a ghost-free screen. The Acer display features an S-IPS panel with a 2560x1440 resolution and a 4ms response time. Many IPS screens currently feature response times that are around 8-10ms, while some of the faster ones have a 6ms response times. The S in S-IPS stands for Super, so this screen has a Super-IPS screen. Super IPS displays have a faster response than normal IPS screens and they're great for gaming.The monitor does not have a VESA mount, so you won't be able to wall mount it. Personally, I don't understand why someone would want to wall mount a 25-inch screen, as this seems useless to me because I don't see the point in wall mounting small displays.At just over $300 with tax this monitor is a steal. This screen is far better than other 2560x1440 displays that you can get for the price. The only other option in this price bracket is either an ultra-wide 2560x1080 display or an off-brand Korean 2560x1440 display.The off-brand Korean 2560x1440 displays feature PLS panels usually from Samsung that are an A- grade panel. These screens feature cheap stands, usually just one or two ports (some just have a single Dual-Link DVI connection and that's it!). These panels are sold by QNIX, X-Star, and Crossover to name a few manufacturers. I should add that these panels usually have dead pixels a lot of them, so they're roughly the same price as this screen, but with dead pixels!I'm happy to say that mine didn't come with dead pixels and I'm very happy and fortunate for that. Some of my friends have purchased Dell or HP 2560x1440 panels and received dead pixels, so it's something that is common in these WQHD screens. Anyways mine was perfect and hopefully the ones that you potentially purchase will be the same.If you're looking at getting a 2560x1440 display I highly recommend getting this Acer screen. It's got a fast response time, awesome matte display, and a ghost-free image. Yeah, you can't wall mount it, but at $300 who cares! If you want the ability to wall mount a 2560 display get a 27-inch panel from ASUS or Dell. These screens will run you roughly $100-150 more than this display, so at $300 this screen gives you a solid performance at a budget price. The stand could be better on it, but at $300 come on you can't complain!Note: This panel is powered by an external power supply. It comes with a Dual-Link DVI cable and a Display Port cable. The stand is only tilt adjustable, so there's no height adjustment with this monitor.Update: The speakers on this monitor are something I have used recently, and they are not stellar. They have a very low output volume, which are worse than any pair of speakers that come on most laptops today. The speakers sound like they are enclosed in a chamber to muffle them. Yes, they are serviceable, but only in an extreme pinch. You will get 10 times better sound quality with a pair of $20 headphones or speakers from Logitech or JBL.
