Time for a new LCD

[Thommo]

Hey guys i would love some advice on a new LCD as im am about to build a new system for gaming and post processing.

I have had my eye on the dell range as i have heard only good things about them.

I checked out the site today and noticed a new model that seems to be better specked than the others.

The newer model while better specked is more expensive and only available in 22inch. http://www1.ap.dell.com/content/product ... l=en&s=dhs

where as i would probably choose the 24 inch otherwise

Are there any other LCDs around the 22/24 inch $700 range you would recommend over the dells

so i guess im just saying.... HELP!!!

any advice would be appreciated

I have two of the Dell 24", one is the newer HC version and another the version just before the HC became available, both bought in 2007. I can easily say that these are the best LCDs I have owned and you will not be sorry if you get them.

Also having owned a few LCD displays these are the first I have bought that did not have any Dead/Bright pixels when I received them. With a monitor of that size that is impressive.

The only problem I have with them though is that I now also want a Dell 30" as well.

the thing that draws me towards the 22 inch model is the 2000:1 contrast ratio and its 2ms response time. Will i notice a big differance between that and the 24 inch which has 1000:1 and 5ms

Get a ACD colours are awesome for its prices and calibrate well.

I've got the Dell 2407WFP-HC and once calibrated it's awesome, well priced compared to Vince's ACD's

I'm considering a Samsung 24" 245B. Not into gaming or such so 5ms is more than OK for me. Seems to be about $750 though. When I looked at the Dell's before Christmas they were more expensive.

If you're looking at the 2407-HC you can use this E-code to get a further 10% off: 39143E92686A

I've also heard that if you call Dell they shouldn't have any problems doing it for $799. (they recently had a promo that ended)

I have a 2407-HC myself. Its a great tool for photo editing, you won't be disappointed if you choose to get one.
