If you are going for color accuracy an IPS panel provides the widest color range. I dont remember the website but there is one that compares lcd, led, and ips panel displays. I believe led monitors are harsher on your eyes.

I dont see why any monitor wouldn't work with photoshop, its a program on the computer. The resolution should be fine. I still have a crt monitor that I use for editing that is set to that resolution.

As far as I know "LED" monitors are just LCDs that use LEDs as the light source as opposed to fluorescent tubes. LCDs can be either TN or IPS. TN panels are cheaper but IPS have better color accuracy and viewing angles. An "LED" monitor will fine but color calibrating whatever you get will help you produce more accurate colors.

Yes, I have a DELL IPS LED monitor. The Spyder 4 (external link) is good to calibrate it with, not all calibrators work with LED monitors.

Apparently the 4 is a bit more accurate, but I use the 3 and it works well.

I went with the cheaper ASUS. I will have to check into Spyder 4 for this monitor. Being both are IPS monitors, my guess is it will work fine.

Unless something has changed in the last year or two, CFL gives better gamut than does LED backlighting. One of the reasons I still use a CFL LCD display (HP 24").


"Raw" is not an acronym, abbreviation, nor a proper noun; thus, it should not be in capital letters.

I can't speak for color reproduction, but LED technology is advancing quickly. My LED monitor looks better than my 5 year old CFL monitor, and I think it'll last longer too. The CFL monitor was starting to fade a bit, LEDs either work or they don't.
