Why 24fps is not enough for HDR movies

Dear FlatPanesHD,
You have a typo in the
TV & Monitor Recommendations
at
http://www.flatpanelshd.com/focus.php?s ... 1229341472
The intro blurb for the "monitors - gaming" is the same as the "Monitors – graphics, photography, video" section.
BTW Very nice and detailed monitor reviews and very useful in my search for a gaming monitor for my requirements.... (a third monitor to join my BenQ duo for gaming)

Thanks for the kind words and for making us aware of the issue. I've fixed it right away

Have you found your third monitor yet?

Heh, Still looking.
Whilst I like the idea of a 37" curved monitor, at about £800 it's out of my budget to replace the two BenQ 24" monitors I already have.
So the aim is to use a good 3 monitor mount and put the new gaming one in the middle. My kids have their computers on the same desk. It's a large desk from IKEA called the Jerker. This lets me have the kids next to me playing, whilst at night and they are in bed I can line them up to all face me...
This does mean though that your Eizo FG2421 recommendation isn't compatible for me as it doesn't have a vesa mount... (Although I considered getting it and positioning 2 outer monitors on the clamp mount...)
The priority criteria are 24", 144MHz with vesa support (I have a Radeon 7950). Freesync would be great as I intend upgrading the graphics card to a Fury at some point. That I hope is for an Occulus Rift (for Elite Dangerous) but I doubt I'll be on it all the time although I would be pleasantly surprised if I was!

A super-sized curved monitor would be nice. At some point in the future I guess I'll switch to such a setup

There are several options in the 24" class but many of them are TN based. Don't know if you are interested in those?

I had also planned to upgrade my PC hardware for the Oculus Rift launch but to be honest I think I'll wait for the second-gen headset. I haven't tried the final consumer version yet but I've tried to Crystal Cove prototype, which is close, and honestly I still feel that resolution is too low. Also, I don't like the fact that they use pentile pixels but since it's a Samsung AMOLED inside I guess that's what Oculus had to settle for (for now).

In Spain we have good prices, maybe the shipping will compensate you
