Thinking about a new monitor

<< < (2/3) > >>

FastKayak:
Picking an IPS monitor for me was a pain due to buying solely by reading reviews and hoping for (cross fingers) for the best.  I eventually settled on two HP ZR24W at $360 each.  A little spendy but I rationalized that I won't replace them for a long, long time.  While I am truly satisfied I really have no idea if something better (or as good for less money) is out there.  Given your experience with HP I would say the ZR24W are built like a tank and I have no complaints with colors, including black (not that I am a pro color guru) or pixel issues. 

Best of luck, FastKayak / Larry

I ordered 2. I am very satisfied with them. I haven't seen any blacklight that bothers me but I am not a professional graphics artist. I find the 2 monitor combinations of Dell U2412M very productive and entertaining for doing real work on one monitor while watching video/listening to music etc. on the second one. Especially fun for long tagging sessions with MC playing video on a detached display on the second monitor.

Thanks,
Osho

I forgot to mention a good web resource for monitor reviews, especially IPS versions -  http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/

Cheers Larry,

I've just spent the entire evening reading their reviews of the 2410 vs 2412M + associated links. I'm not sure that I need the wider gamut. I need to do more research. I do a lot of photography work, but am a hobbyist rather than anything approaching professional!

I'm leaning towards the 2412M at the moment...

I have been very happy with my Dell U2311H. I bought it less than a year ago. One of the deciding factors was indeed the tftcentral review of it.

I don't think you would need a wide gamut monitor. It is only good for professional image editing. Wide gamut doesn't look good with regular stuff. You would probably end up using a wide gamut monitor in the SRGB mode anyway.
