xtnight, is banding a common issue with non-tn panels? From what I read this was only a problem with 6 bit panels that used dithering.

Is there anything I can due to reduce it (adjusting gamma or contrast?)? thanks!
Banding can occur on any panel at all, and it's usually due to digital "enhancement" features that can't be turned off for whatever reason.
I doubt what you're talking about is really banding. It may be gradation or discoloration. The only way to really reduce it is to get a colorimeter. Anything else is rather futile. I would not highly recommend adjusting gamma in a non-linear fashion on your own (it usually makes things worse), but nevertheless I have a guide on my website of how to do it with RivaTuner.

Thank you for the useful tips, as always. Actually adjusting the gamma did make it worse, after I returned to the previous settings the gradation was significantly reduced. I can still see it on gradients, but I guess I'll live with it until I buy a colorimeter.
I have one more question related to heating: my monitor (HP LP2465) gets really hot, especially at the top. Even the actual display gets hot (not as much as the back, but still is pretty warm). Should I be worried or is this normal for a monitor of this size? Until now I had a crt with ice cold display.
thanks again!

Does the dell 2408 rev A01 do that? cuz that's the one i got.
Also, although the monitor has 1:1 mapping, if i put it to display 1920x1080 res for my ps3, will it fill the entire screen or would i have black bars?
Thanks for taking time to reply

Hi,
I am looking for a photographic work monitor, with a budget of 650?.
I own an X-Rite i1 Display 2 colorimeter and I am familiar with color management.
Since I plan to buy a large format inkjet printer, I consider both sRGB and "wide gamut" monitors.
I spotted the following models:
Open to any suggestion.
EIZO FlexScan S2242W (~550?): 22", 1920*1200px, S-PVA, "wide gamut" (95% of Adobe RGB).
HP LP2475W (~550?): 24", 1920*1200px, H-IPS, "wide gamut".
NEC MultiSync 2490WUXi2 (~750?, exceeding my budget): 24", 1920*1200px, H-IPS (without A-TW polarizer on this new version), sRGB, hardware calibration possible.
I am a bit discreet concerning the potential benefits of H-IPS panels, without A-TW polarizer, over S-PVA panels.
Actually, I owned a Dell 3007WFP-HC and I noticed very important black level variations depending on the viewing angle. Uniform dark backgrounds looked like "shiny surfaces". My previous P-MVA and S-PVA monitors performed much better on this aspect.
On the other hand, half and dark tones brightness and color were pretty consistent whatever the viewing angle. No gamma or color shift like on my previous P-MVA and S-PVA monitors.
Therefore, I'd like to get some experiences, reviews or even photographs that illustrate the potential benefits of H-IPS panels, without A-TW polarizer, over S-PVA panels.
Many thanks for your help.

I've got a question...
Has anyone successfully used the 'eZ Zooming' feature on LG monitors? On my dad's L226WT it will not work whatsoever on VGA or DVI. On my L227WT, it won't do anything, either, although I didn't try VGA. Manual says nothing special. This is how it's supposed to work:
At the current display, Use 'ez Zooming' Key, then the display
resolution is transferred to the one step low resolution.
Use 'ez Zooming' Key one more, the display is back to the
original display.
I'm wondering if this just flat out doesn't work on everyone's LG unit(s).
I did read this at a different forum,
Download forte manager to get ez zooming to work, all the monitor controls can be adjusted through forte manager.
So maybe try latest version,any luck with that?

Thank you for your advice xtnight, i bought the Dell 2408 based on what you said, hopefully i would walk away a happy man. One thing thoug after checking some reviews i see conflicting information. Anandtech states that the monitor before calibration i s better than monitors after calibration averaging around 1.7 dE, however tftcentral states it's colour accuracy is awful at factory settings. Am i missing something here? who is correct?

I'm working with graphic of every type.
Web, Photo, Print and mainly Video.
What monitor should i look at in your opinion?
HP LP2475w?
Is there something newer and better?
Thank you.
I have no budget but I'm looking for the best cost/quality compromise.

I want a 24" / 1920x1200 / FAST- lots of FPS- Call of Duty5 online with son / good to very good color accuracy... / budget upto $575.
We currently have the Dell 20" model # 2001FP...
My 'basket' of choices...
BenQ G2400WD... fastest but quality color?
Asus MK241H.....Not as fast but a step up in quality?...
Asus VW266...
HP LP2475w...a bit slower, but much better color, etc...
AND, the UNKNOWN....the new Dell out next month? The LG W2420P...
Which? Or, do you like a substitute that's not on my list?

The LP2475w, since it encompasses the gamut of your highest-gamut activity (Print).
Keep in mind to use color management for any sRGB photos.

I would pick the HP in this case. The Dell 2408WFP and G2400WD are also options. I'd pick them in the order I listed. The HP may be a bit faster than the Dell input lag-wise although I'm not sure about that. The BenQ would have considerably limited stability of the image (viewing angle), although it would have virtually no lag and would have a slightly faster response time. I still think the HP is better for most people, even gamers.
