Thanks xknight, for the thread and info. I ended up hunting down a Doublesight 263n because I didnt want speakers (Doublesight 265w with big bezel) and I wanted the polarizer (reportedly not on the Planar PX2611) and I didn't want to pay an extra $400 (NEC2690). hehehe. No dead pixels, but a...

NOTE for those in the market for a colorimeter... Amazon has the EYEONE Display 2 for $175 (free shipping). This thing is $220 at Newegg. There was a note from 2 buyers that got the LT instead, but that was months ago so I figured it would be fine, especially buying from Amazon themselves...

NEC does not post a dead pixel count return policy online, and I did not bother to call customer service and wait on the phone to find out the answer... http://www.necdisplay.com/Supp...cePolicies/?section=ds but I presume it must be industry standard 5-7 or higher, if they are shy about...

This is actually a very important factor. And given your extension audio setup signature, I would suspect the annoying transformer buzz is why you're trading off the NEC2690. All of the perceived bonuses of the NEC can be ignored if the monitor produces an audible buzz. Thanks for the...

I've been waiting for the Doublesight 265W for a few months now. I bought a Samsung 226CW for home last fall, and it's been good, but not great. The viewing angles are kinda poor and the color calibration is lacking for photo editing or artwork (its a TN panel). I've enjoyed it, but I'm...
