vladan Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Best 24" monitor I'm from Australia so you'll have to source them there, most high end photographic and graphic suppliers should sell them, or at least know where to get them. Good luck! Jul 03, 2009 at 03:15 AM

joezasada Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #7 · Best 24" monitor the 24" NEC spectraview model is good... although if you can afford it, the NEC LCD2690WUXI2-BK-SV is extremely good, especially for the price... Jul 03, 2009 at 04:47 PM

Greg Feldman Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · Best 24" monitor Leave room in your budget for a hardware-based calibration system--unless you get a monitor that already comes with one. I would much rather use a calibrated $500 monitor than an uncalibrated $2000 monitor. The latter is basically useless. Jul 03, 2009 at 04:53 PM

pipspeak Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · Best 24" monitor cheaper than an Eizo or LaCie would be the NEC LCD2490WUXi or the HP 2475w. Dell also makes a decent 24-incher but I'm not sure of the model number. Personally I'm an NEC fan but any high-gamut monitor with at least 12-bit LUT capability is gonna be great for graphics, regardless of the panel technology. And if you're spending $1K+ on a monitor you really need to spend a hundred more and get a hardware calibration system. Jul 04, 2009 at 02:13 AM

stan2 Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Best 24" monitor the Dell model is the 2408wfp I think. It goes for around $500USD, on sale occasionally. basically, you want either an IPS or a PVA panel, and not a TN panel. you can search around on those technologies and get a lot of info. The 24" iMac is a good monitor and it comes with a computer. Their new price is attractive... Apple 24" is also a nice monitor. There are just a few in the $500-600 range; after that, you're in the pro range and the price goes up. Jul 05, 2009 at 02:29 PM

BluePixel Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · Best 24" monitor I am also looking for monitor with 1920x1200 resolution, and want to spend about $600-750. Do any of you know how good are Dell Ultrasharp monitors ? Thanks. Jul 05, 2009 at 08:08 PM

wlachan Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #13 · Best 24" monitor I am eyeing the NEC LCD2490WUXi2 which can be hardware calibrated using the i1D2 (but u need their SPECTRAVIEWII software). At 1/2 that price, there is the Philips 240PW9EB which has H-IPS panel. I had the Samsung 245T for a week but the unevenness was too much to bear. Jul 05, 2009 at 08:16 PM

n0b0 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · Best 24" monitor One more thing. LCD runs best at its native resolution so make sure your graphic card can handle high res without chugging if you want to run something high like 1920x1200. Jul 08, 2009 at 02:10 PM

I would much rather use a calibrated $500 monitor than an uncalibrated $2000 monitor. The latter is basically useless. Depends on how much you budget, just like anything else. Higher priced calibrators can also calibrate printers and projectors. For under $200, the Xrite i1 Display 2 is very nice, as is the Datacolor Spyder3 Pro. The older Spyder2 doesn't work that well with newer wide-gamut monitors. If you get the NEC 2490/2690, which have built in color look up tables (LUTs), you have a couple choices, you can get the -BK-SV version which includes the calibrator (a rebranded i1) and the software to program the LUT, or you can get the regular version, buy the i1 Display 2, and then purchase the NEC calibration software for $100. If you do get the NEC, you really should get the NEC software, either way. Jul 09, 2009 at 12:54 AM
