Choosing the right monitor (or at least a right series)
So I've got 3 display setup. Or at least I had as the newest one was damaged (blinking screen, "blinking" vertical lines and temporary power off, but with signal still being passed to the GPU).
Now I have just two displays and am looking for a third one.
Both I have are Samsung Bussiness S24E650 (PL variant), so I need something (almost) identicak, meaning Samsung S24 monitor. I have them rotated to stand vertically and in Eyefinity so at least similar in size display area.
Knowing this requirement(s) and what I can (and want) pay for it I got 3 candidates:
- Next S24E650 (PL or DW) as it will exactly match what I already have. It has DP and HDMI ports. Disadventage of this choice is a price - there is no E modeks for a price I paid before, so I would have add ~50$).
- S24C650 (didn't ask what model yet, but BW I think from I know about it) - older model, however almost exactly same as E. Almost as the one I found have only DVI and VGA ports (no problem for Eyefinity, but...). Here I would still have few bucks left on my account.
- H series monitor - S24H650GDU to be exact. Its adventage is that it is never one. Disadventage is 3 mm narrower (in vertical setup) display area and different back panel (but who looks at the back of their monitors?). Here I would spend all I got back, as it cost almost same I paid for E/PL.
Is the 3 mm so much? I think it is so little that there is like no difference at all.
Anyone had used C or H series? Or even exactly this models? I'm looking for any "unofficial" data about them I can get.
Before finding H I almost bought C, as it's cheaper than E. Now I would say I'm #teamH.
PS. Only this 3 models are on the menu, so pls don't post other options. Don't look for one bigger display as well.
