I am looking to upgrade my LCD monitor to work more accurately with photographic images but not sure which panels to choose. I would welcome suggestions very much.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Apple Cinema Display 23'' :thumbsup: I'm totally happy with it. Its price is a bit on the high side, but I've absolutely no regrets getting the monitor.
I'm a PC user myself, Cinema Display works fine under XP or Vista. The built-in USB/1384 ports work as well.
24" or 27" dell ultrasharps.... :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
I took over my GF's old Samsung 710n works great and colours quite good after calibration. Beats my IBM lcd on the laptop anytime heh
I'm not a pro but i feel u should go for one of those 26" inch HD bravia from sony,price ranges from 1299 for a 26" inch..few hundred dolalrs more than your LCD monitor but hey u get superb quality,real colours and HD engine.
seeing that there will be a swtich from LCD to HD sometime in the future,why not switch it now?
Remember few years back when LCD threw CRT manufactuers off their knees?
There's going to be another swtich soon.
This is my stand since i see it will prove to be more economical to get a HD screen now rather than buy a conventional LCD and then wantign to swtich to HD later on.
Remember,HD allows u to watch television too.
Errr.. Do you even know what LCD, CRT, HD mean? :sweat:
HD has nothing to do with whether the LCD is better or worse. You can playback HD video on your monitor as well. And in terms of resolution, your typical monitor is higher than your HD TV. For reference, a 720p/1080i LCD TV has a resolution of 1366 x 768 and a 1080p LCD TV has a resolution of 1920x1080. A 17"/19" widescreen LCD monitor has a resolution of 1440x900, already higher than a 720p/1080i LCD TV. A 20"/22" widescreen LCD monitor has a resolution of 1680 x 1050. A 24"/27" widescreen LCD monitor has a resolution of 1920x1200 (higher than a 1080p LCD TV). The 30" LCD monitors are even higher.
In terms of colour, the reason why LCD TVs (HD or not) tend to have punchier colours is because they boost the saturation and contrast to make the picture more appealing. However, this is generally what we don't want for accurate imaging work on a computer since what is required is accuracy and not artificially boosted levels of saturation and contrast. Sony Bravia TVs in particular (i have one) tend to make the reds really over-saturated to the point that you lose detail. The exaggeration of contrast also tends to kill shadow and highlight detail, which again is what you don't want in a good monitor for working with images.
Hope this clears it up.
