Agreed, I went around and around until I felt like I was riding a carousel. The current monitor market forces you to strike a balance between many compromises. Each person may satisfy their most important priority by making an educated choice, but there is no single monitor which would satisfy...

You don't sound completely enthusiastic about developments which I consider a huge step in the right direction. I assume I'm just unable to interperet sarcasm over the net, and you're in shock from actually seeing what discerning buyers have been wishing for. Declaring the panel type, and...

I have one of these. The box says 6ms response time. I've never seen any measurement of lag. I can say that I've never perceived any lag or ghosting. I agree with the popular assessment of this monitor: the picture is good, but they have a high failure rate. Get one and use it mercilessly...

I've been doing a little research on my own question, and it seems the % gamut number is meaningless without specifying which gamut you're referring to. It seems the most relevant gamut is sRGB, which is the standard for "consumer electronic applications, such as digital cameras, PC...

I am wondering about this question as well, and it occurred to me it might be useful to compare the LCD gamuts relative to CRTs. Are wide gamut LCD monitors closer to the CRT gamut than other LCDs, or not? I think this would put things more in perspective for me. If normal (72%?) gamut...

My goal at the moment is to compile a list of all the current models with IPS panels. I am starting to scour the various manufacturer's sites for IPS models which may have been neglected in this forum. I started with LG, since they make the panel in the NEC and Planar 24" IPS models. I was...

Mallomar: Dealing directly with NEC in your case is the best way to go. Chill, its okay to be disappointed, but when you get the replacement, it'll be easy to forget the speed bump you're going over. As far as the screen shots, if you captured the screen in software, you'll see the good...

I see you are considering a 24" in the $300 price range. The good news is that you CAN find a 24" VA panel in that price range, if you do your shopping. That being the case, unless lag is your one and only criteria, I would not recommend a monitor with a TN panel like the ones you listed...

Mallomar: Your symptoms sound more like a hardware failure than a setup issue. Here's how I'd troubleshoot it. First, a couple of notes for the technologically challenged! *** It goes without saying that you should do these tests with the video card set to the native resolution of...

xtknight: I have recently viewed the Westinghouse L2410NM at several different Best Buys, and none of them were TN panels. Maybe, like the Acer X241WSD, they came with a TN in an earlier version, and switched to a VA panel without changing the model number. I spent a fair bit of time...

Did I miss the boat, or save myself? I almost bought an Acer X241WSD for $300 on closeout. But it is a VA panel, and I am holding out for an IPS panel. IMHO, the VA panels are sufficient for business use, but no replacement for a CRT when it comes to pictures and video. I want a 24"...
