I've been in the market for a new LCD monitor upgrade for some time now.
I'm currently using a Samsung 172T that I've had for about 8 years now.
Even to this day, I've been very happy with the viewing angles, color, and contrast of this monitor, but I would like a widescreen and a larger size.
I work with many types of 3D graphics programs and have seen just about everything
in the high end/professional side of things.
As noted the NEC LCD2490WUXi2 is an excellent choice for a monitor, but I have two problems purchasing one for a desktop replacement.
1) Price
2) Screen Door Effect/Dot Pitch.
To my eyes the NEC LCD2490WUXi2 just doesn't look as smooth as the PVA Samsung 172T and I use both every day.
One would think that the Dell 2408wfp would be a good choice, but alas the brightness is torch mode compared to my 172T and I could not get the colors right as well.
I then got frustrated and decided to wait.
I came across the NEC Multisync P221W yesterday. This is a 22" widescreen PVA professional monitor in case your wondering. These can be purchased just south of $400.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts on this monitor, or could provide me another option.?
I read something that samsung is supposed to release a couple of new PVA's this winter and they are not the C-PVA type for the 24" and 27" displays. Any news on this.
It will be used for photoshop, picture and video editing, web surfing, and the ocassional RTS game.
