Hello fellow evga forum members,

I thought I might need a second monitor for my home office, a monitor that has professional specs for good value, I stumbled upon the asus pa248q "which is a 1200p monitor", for 268$!

"What a deal!" I thought, but the question remains in my mind, does it display 1920x1080p correctly? Or it will scale it and cause interpolation issues "blurry picture and text", if it does indeed cause such problems, would getting the smaller pb238q with the native res. of 1080p be better?

I know it would look weird beside my 27inch benq, but I need some serious viewing angles "not that the benq has terrible angles, it is miles better than any tn panel we owned in the studio so far.." so I thought an ips would do, what do you think?

Also, is 1080p on a 27inch worse than on a 24inch? I haven't noticed any difference between an acer 24inch g-something that one of the lads owned and my current benq xl2720z, or is the difference visible to perfectionists only?

Thank you for reading this thread, any information would be greatly appreciated.

    I should be able to run at 1920x1080 (1080p) Just fine, it'll by default put black bars at the top and bottom of the screen at 1080p so you'll lose a little bit of area regardless when running 1080p
    with the 1920x1200 version, you have a higher resolution option if needed.

    Thank you for the info mate :)

    I heard about flickering issues with the
    pa248q, the pa249q has noisy powersupplies and a green tint to the image, I haven't heard anything about the smaller pb238q.

    Viewsonic vx2370smh-led vs Asus pb238q, which is better in color gamut and accuracy?, I haven't seen any comparisons on the web yet....

    Now I found that both of the asus pb248q and pb249q are plagued with issues such as magenta and green tint, extreme flickering "lcd flicker, not backlight flicker", quickly disintegrating dvi ports, painfully obvious backlight bleeding, and finally noisy powersupplies.

    I was interested in the pa/pb line for the 8 bit color depth and ah-ips panels, now that it became a lottery, I wouldn't risk getting a faulty monitor, I couldn't find any monitors without any fatal issues "such as lcd flickering", I thought of getting the asus mx238h or the viewsonic vx2370smh-led, but many forums mention that both of them are 6 bit panels.

    I will NEVER buy a dell, I had many troubles with them in the past 6 years, almost all of their ips monitors have backlight bleed "other than ips glow, which is normal" and only their expensive tn panels have little to no backlight bleed, and I have enough tn panels.
