I'm really torn between this monitor and the angel care. Any experience with both?

I've only used the Babysense, but we have friends with the Angel Care who seem to get many more false alarms than we do. I was bothered by the flashing blue light when in operation, but our child seems unaffected by it.

We stopped getting false alarms once we put a piece of 1/2" plywood under the mattress. Also, we added a small nightlight and it made the flashing blue light unnoticeable in the room. You can still see the blue light on the baby camera, it just doesn't flash in the room.

Please see my more lengthy review on this question. I found the Babysense to be worse in most areas that I cared about. I'm sure people's priorities/preferences differ, but for me, the Angelcare was better on all categories.

Angelcare probably fixed this problem already, but one issue with their product is that their sensor is corded. Why is this a problem? Some babies somehow were able to find the cord and pull on the cord, and one or two of them suffered major injuries because of it. This monitor doesn't have a cord for the sensor. For details I'm sure you can google the news surrounding it.Like Angelcare, Babysense is also corded. Looking at Babysense, they have taken precautions on keeping the cord completely covered and hidden.

I have both versions of the hi sense and they have performed perfectly with no false alarms over 7 months. Fortunately, we never had an incident. You must install correctly over a hard surface to work well. I have no experience with Angel Care other than knowing it was recalled some months ago due to exposed cords. I'm sure this has been remedied since then. Hi sense wires (for the round disk model) are tucked under the mattress so protected from an older baby's grasp.

I only have experience with this one. We've had it for about 2 months and we are very happy we bought it. I originally had the Safe 2 Sleep. The S2S has many more features and is an excellent option for 0-4 months. But our baby outgrew it. They start rolling off the pad and you get false alarms. The Babysense, solves the problem. So if you will only have one monitor that is the one i woudl buy.

If you are really looking for that level of detail in buying a monitor your undisputed choice should me an iMac display or a dell 30USharp. There are no other things out there that can beat that, but that being said, this monitor has all the guts needed and can draw brilliant pictures just like an apple display. There are still issues with pure black/saturation, but they are almost invincible to the naked eye, except for extremely avid photo editors. I don't know if that answers your question, but H-IPS vs S-IPS shouldn't make your mind boggle.

Either one will do just fine on a single monitor, the 780 will do better though. Just depends on how much you're willing to spend.

Mine flickered SO badly, I had to replace it. I do NOT recommend this monitor. Samsung was NO HELP whatsoever. It's very likely the last Samsung (anything) I ever buy. It's too bad, I used to like Samsung products before this fiasco.

I just bought the 650 40 inch and can't wait. It's being delivered tomorrow..I did a lot of research and also called the Samsung company sales division..they told me there's a one year warranty and if you call with a problem during the first year they will help you in tech dept free of charge..I have to tell you that I've had a Samsung 19 inch computer monitor for three years now..it's great. when I first got it, I had a problem, and they insisted it may be the monitor not the computer itself and they said they should replace it..they did, problem cleared ..no more problem..what great customer service..it may be different with a computer monitor and the tv...in terms of policies and accessibility..I'm deciding on whether to get the extended warranty in spite of the one year because for me, this is an expensive item and a big investment..

thanks for your response.Do you (or anyone with a good understanding of this) think it's worth spending $50 to upgrade from what I currently have?) I purchased the samsung hd monitor and thought the upgrade would provide better video.any thoughts?

I do a fair amount of XLS, PPT, Word, Access...as well as dev work (VisualStudio, JDeveloper, etc..) I have 2 of these side-by-side driven by an old ATI Radeon 4800 and they work great. Color/bright/consistency is good & love the thin(-ish) bezels.

I now have 4 x Dell P2715Q 4k 60hz monitors running on the NVS 510 just fine. No noticeable difference from 4 x 1440p. Open a couple hd videos at once and they will get choppy but normal office work is totally fine. I would give extreme caution about 2160p at 27" though. I've run into several issues with this pixel density on Windows. Several programs have nearly invisible UI elements they are so small. Many/most programs ignore windows display magnification settings so you're at the mercy of the application developers to update their software. I'm trying to decide right now if I should return the 4 monitors and give it another year or stick it out. If this wasn't a business machine with only a few pro apps that will hopefully be updated over the next few months and was running many consumer apps, there would be no question. I'd be returning them and waiting for sure. It would be a mess. On the other hand, 1440p at 27" is not quite dense enough. Text is a little fuzzy. Some UI elements a little pixelated. But at least you can see everything.

Sorry, I no longer have this monitor. I upgraded to the HP LA2405wg. But I never encountered any problems the brief time I had it.

I would write amazon directly and they are good about working things out. I have used my monitor for many months and have no complaints. Could be the item itself is faulty. Also try notifying the company who made it.

I have both usb monitors, and there are pros/cons to both. Major con for me with Lenovo, is that it is bulky in the back... it is not flat, so does not fit in bag well. AOC doesn't have cover.

Yes. That extra edge costs money. Go look at the equipment reviews on tomshardware.com (cpus, video cards, etc...) they have monthly best buy guides, and performance per dollar charts. When you start hitting that bleeding edge performance, prices skyrocket. Frequently for improvements that are outside the realm of human perception. That being said, I am very happy with my 2ms response time, and have decided that all my future monitors, if they are anything like this one, will be BenQ

Hi Jon, I can only address the unit which I have purchased which is revision A06. I have been satisfied with the performance of this monitor. I use it as a secondary monitor for a CAD setup with a very fast and powerful Dell Precision Workstation laptop unit. I think you will be best served by the latest revision which may be even higher than A06. I purchased the unit just under a year ago through Amazon. It is always wise to see the model up close to be able to touch it and get a feel for the display quality, but typically the big box stores will never be able to beat the price of a web distributor such as Amazon. Good luck with your purchase.

I had trouble getting it to look right. Extremely bad bleed through around the edges. Google "benq XL2420T settings". Good luck! I spent $100 less and got 3 acer IPS monitors and am loving it

I got good service when I returned mine because it wasn't as good as my current monitor.If you're on a tight budget I guess it may work. For me the difference was too significant to keep it. I was amazed because it was lauded as a great monitor, but when I got it, I was very disappointed
