new rig...ready made or custom build?

xtknight, strange calibration results with EZcolor_OPTIXxr, NEC WMGX2, and XP Pro. i followed all the steps (twice to make sure and same result). i end up with 100% contrast (as the software does not include any further step to re-adjust down from 100%) and 10-11% brightness level. strikes...

hello, being more than a year old, is the NEC 20WMGX2 still among the best in it's price range? or is there now a better alternative? i need a monitor for photo editing mainly but will be doing video editing as well in near future. thanks, Paul
