|Harley| Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Since we're chatting about QBs, it's going to be tough to argue Palmer over Big Jen if he gets his second ring. I know, I know, it pains me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mongo Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Not sure how many design/web/graphics/photographers we have here, but thought it was worth a shot. I'm starting to look for a 24" (something in that neighborhood) monitor for graphic design. Refresh rate isn't all that important, but something that I won't have to calibrate every couple days will be important. The Eizo's are amazing, but way out of my league at this point. The LaCie 324 is rather bad to the ass too, but $900 is still up there. I've heard the Apple cinema displays need lots of calibration, and that most of the "gaming" monitors (HP, Dell, Viewsonic, etc...) just can't hack it. Is there a monitor that hits the investment/return sweet spot? I don't always get to work with Pantone spots, so getting a monitor that comes damn close to what will print is important. Thanks for any and all help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 At the risk of stating the obvious, if exact colour reproduction is vital then you really do have to spend the money. There is no getting away from it If you merely want something that's good and IPS panels are out of your league, then go for a VA Panel. Whatever, just don't bother with a TN panel if you care remotely about graphic work. Btw, that Lacie really is a BMF.

mongo Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Yeah. I found, of all people, an HP that may fit the bill (I hate HP. I've never seen a company put more bloatware onto their products than HP). The LP2475w is an H-IPS panel that, while apparently needing serious calibration when you set it up, is apparently pretty sick after said calibration. Also, it can be had from newegg for $550, which is totally more in my price range. I promised myself I wouldn't buy anything until after the 4th (just to keep impulse out of it ), but that's definitely one I'll look into more.

steggyD Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Not for graphic design, but if anybody is looking for a great 24" monitor for surfing and gaming, I recommend this great buy right here ... [url="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236049"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824236049[/url] Not to hijack your thread, but if anyone reads this thread because of the 24" monitor, I'd like for them to see this deal. Free shipping even! I got one for myself, 0 dead pixels and no ghosting in game. Oh, and HP monitors are good, and no bloatware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] the last hp product I ever bought was a printer that, when installed, had no fewer than 8 processes running in xp. I didn't even install the crappy photo software or anything. Dell blows, but HP is still in a class by itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
