Editing Display - IPS Monitor?

[Trever1t]

OK I am in dire need of a good 24-27" display (PC) for edit only. $ is a huge concern, of course but I don't want something cheap that won't get the job done.

Can you please give me your suggestions, experiences and LINK me to the product?

Thanks!

I don't recall the model of the one I bought, but it's a Viewsonic, similar to this one.

i have two uf2420's. they have been great.
calculate into budget calibration software/tools. (xrite,datacolor,nec.. etc)

one good thing about two screens(same make/model) is you can see color deviation from one to the other and calibrated.

I have the newest version of Spyder4Pro for calibration.

Some reviews about the anti glare coating are unfavorable, what is your experience with it?

That NEC sure looks good, it's not cheap but B&H carries it .. how does it compare to the Apple Thunderbolt which is roughly the same price?

Many of the Dell UltraSharp displays develop panel separation, which is why I quit recommending them.
I've seen several that have it, and Garbz has also mentioned seeing several Dell displays with the same issue.

Frankly, it is worth spending as much as a good camera body, or a good lens, to have a good quality display.

The NEC can display a wider gamut of colors:

. . . Offering an accurate 100% coverage of sRGB color gamut and 99.3% of Adobe RGB . . .
1.07 billion out of 4.3 trillion (10 bit DisplayPort or HDMI) / 16.7 million out of 1.05 billion (8-bit)

From the Apple specs:

Colors (maximum): 16.7 million
