Hello everyone,
I have problems deciding what kind of graphic monitor i should get.
I do digital painting, 3d graphics and photography. The monitor should also work for entertaining purposes like games and movies. I'm running on win7 64bit. My graphic card doesnt have displayport.
Should i get an IPS panel or PVA? what are the differences between PVA and IPS?
I've also read about the downsides of wide gamut monitors that oversaturates colours in non colormanaged apps, so how important is the wide gamut then?
how much response time is needed for video editing?
24” NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXi2 that goes around 1000$ in US sounds very interesting but what i've heard it is hardware calibrated only in US and the version that is sold in my country with the hardware calibration is called spectraview 2490 that cost around 1600€ which is way too much for my budget.
The nonhardware calibrated version costs here around 800€. So, how important is the hardware calibration feature? Whats the drawback using calibrator with monitor that doesnt have hardware calibration feature?
800€ is still quite expencive in my budget unless its something so awesome that it's simply must have, so is there cheaper IPS or PVA screens that could be considered for grapics?
I tried HP2475w which was big disapointment. there was bad pink colour shifting on other side of the screen. Also blacks were too gray. Not to mention the over saturated sRGB issue, I even returned the monitor 3 times and all had the same issue.
So i'm back with my old CRT which is so old that it can blow up any minute.
Ok, this was quite a few questions. hopefully you understood my bad english.
Any suggestions?
