My 24" widescreen trinitron is finally giving up the ghost. In researching what I should replace it with, I'm finding all LCD options inferior and I am having trouble weighing the trade-offs.
My budget is flexible, but I'd like to stay under/around $1000, unless there is something so amazing that costs a bit more, but I don't think that's the case.
I currently run 24" 1920x1200, and like that resolution.
I do about equal amounts gaming, photo editing, and movie watching.
So this is my dilemma. My gaming friends are screaming for me to get a BenQ monitor so I can have a low latency display, but from what I've seen, their color isn't the greatest.
I've also looked at NEC/Eizo for color accuracy when I'm editing photos, but they seem to have rather abysmal latency for gaming.
Am I overthinking this? Do you guys have any suggestions? Do I have to get one monitor for each application?
P.S. -- why hasn't display technology been able to match old CRTs yet? Sigh.
