People with 24 inch to 30 inch lcd pc monitors

I was an hour away from ordering NEC's 2690... Then I bumped into this new name: Anybody heard of or have an opinion of Planar's PX2611W, a new 26" display (from PLANAR, a company that's been in the display business for years now) that uses the same S-IPS (or is it H-IPS?) panel as NEC 2690...

---- Wait, wait, WHICH one of those many versions (?) of this product?? Why so many versions and prices? The first one got 4 stars and priced at only $72.38? I'd take it now.... ...Should I?...

I'm ordering the NEC 2690 basic model. Don't feel like adding an extra $300 for the calibration system bundled. But what are the best options for calibration options out there that I can purchase (for less than $300 obviously...)... I'm totaly ignorant in the field of calibration, mind you...

So now, after doing a bit more "soul searching" I'm wondering why not purchase NEC's 2690WUXi, instead of their 2490WUXi... The difference in price is roughly $100.... But I'm wondering, how come both have THE SAME RESOLUTION (1920x1200).... Wouldn't you expect a larger size monitor to have...

Still indecisive on deciding which 24" LCD to decide on (color accuracy and sharpness are my main issues, as a graphic designer)... I was here asking questions couple weeks ago, and from what I read here -- am WAITING for new products to show up in the next couple months, or older ones to drop...

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

Yes, you're rigtht, clandren, I guess it was too late at night for me to think clearly (or more, WISHFUL THINKIN')... I wonder what kind of price tag we'll see for the upcoming Samsung 24" LCD with LED backlight that was mentioned here... Also, going back to this excellent site where they...

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

Let me check if I got it right: If the NEC 2490 we were discussing DOES HAVE LED BACKLIGHT (as mentioned here), and an S-IPS panel -- all for about $1,400 --- wouldn't it be the one and only obvious choice for a graphic designer or a photographer?

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

Interesting how some posters here claim LED backligfht is what 99% of these monitors already have, while xtknight says the exact opposit... Can this help? From the specs sheet of the new Eizo CG241W, at the bottom, dealing with warranty: "However LCD panel back light (brightness guarantee...

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

I was also a bit surprised, and was responding to what xtknight was posting last night: "If you want truly better performance then I would start waiting for the LCDs with LED backlights." -- "Start waiting" to me sounded as if it's not here yet... I don't need 30", and besides, I don't trust...

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

Lots of stuff here to digest... Thanks, xtknight. Wait, I thought all the new generation LCD monitors today have LED Backlight, no? Are you saying NONE of those we're dealing with here has LED Backlight? And if I got it right, even though that BenQ FP241W you'd vote for does not have the...

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

The new Eizo CG241W doesn't say what kind of panel technology it uses, is it S-IPS, as the NEC?.... I think that should be a major considration when deciding between the two... Or am I wrong... I read what you, xtknight, say about your choice of BenQ with a colorimeter, and I'm not in a...

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

I was wondering about the CONTRAST issue too. The more expensive, professional LCD have a LOWER contrast ratio than the less expensive ones (800:1 vs. 1,000:1)... So there probably must be a good reason for it... Also, I learned that HIGHER BRIGHTNESS (400-500) -- is really meaningless, since...

Great info, thanks so much, clandren. Now, what does all that mean.... Maybe I SHOULD wait for this new Eizo to appear on the market?....What do you guys say? --- Here is the info: EIZO Introduces ColorEdge® CG241W for High-End Still and Moving Image Work Cypress, CA, June 14 2007 ...

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

Now I'm a bit confused, hans007... You say that the NEC is better in several aspects compared to the other, lower cost monitors, but not worth the extra $700... Yet you have it (and you paid nearly double) and you offer me an even better, yet MORE expensive product, the 26"... I'd say...

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

Well, it isn't $700, it's an EXTRA $700 for the NEC 2490.... I just hope it's WORTH the extra $700... But it's still much cheaper than 2-3 years ago, and probably BETTER... ...Anybody knows about NEW 24" monitors coming out this month? Somebody mentioned something about it in one of those...

24" LCD: why pay DOUBLE?

Thanks, clandren. Yes, this is a good thing to read... I was still hoping to get a comparison between the 2 options and mostly an advice from those who use a 24" monitor for SIMILAR USE like me, needing sharpness and accurate colors too......

I'm a graphic designer. I do desktop publishing, ads, logo design, brochures... B/W and color design too... a 1/3 of my time I do Photoshop work -- manipulation, retouching, grayscale and color corrections... I need to decide between two 24" LCD displays, especially if it's worth the...
