Hey all,
Basically, my Sony Multiscan E400 is showing signs of dying (red angled lines across the screen at all times). I use my monitor predominantly for video and photo editing. I don't need a pro display that costs thousands of dollars, but something that can properly handle blacks is CRUCIAL to me for my video editing and photography.
I have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 video card (specs here) so I have DVI, HDMI and I can go to a max digital res of 2560X1600.
Some questions:
- Aren't there any plasma monitors for computers?
- For my purposes, what are the main specs you think I need to look out for? I don't know a lot about monitor specs.
- Is it possible to get something for less than 300?
- Is there ANY monitor I can buy that will also function fine in Europe? I understand the power issue. Just find it weird that there is NO solution that works fine in both places.
Thanks all!
