22"+ widescreen LCD recommendations

Hi all,

I recently purchased a 24" HP w2408h widescreen LCD, which I will be returning asap. Unfortunately it is a TN panel, and it is terrible for photo realism, even after 3 separate calibrations with my Spyder 2.

My old 19" dell 1905FP, and my 19" BenQ FP91G+ have both given me excellent color accuracy results when I've calibrated them.

Anyway, if anyone can offer any suggestion offer any suggestions for 22" or 24" widescreen LCD that have yielded good results, I'd be very appreciate.

I've already gotten recommendations for:
Dell 2408WFP
Samsun 245T

Thanks.

Yep, I think those are good recommendations.

Generally speaking, I don't think you'll find any good 22"screens - you'll need to go to 24".

Have you done a search on the forum? There's quite a few good "monitor recommendation" threads.

can't say I did that. I searched on 24", and titles containing LCD.

yup. id suggest going for 24" and skipping 22" alltogether. if money is an issue, you can find a 20.1" widescreen that either uses S-IPS or P-MVA panels which are good for photo editing.

pretty good guide at anandtech

Sir am a newbie, how will i know if the monitor is S-IPS or P-MVA?

i recommend dell's ultrasharp 2408, I have both 2407 and 2408, they both are great.
but there are issues about the dell 2408, some people has lag.
check out the dell's forum:

the newer version of the monitor (A01) seems has fix the problem.
I just order my 2408 last week, I got the old A00 version, but I didnot experience anything wrong with it, so I decide to keep it.

Have you considered the lacie 324: http://www.lacie.com …cts/product.htm​?pid=11034 A little pricey but excellent color.

find a screen - go here > http://www.flatpanels.​dk/panels.php type the model number in and it will tell you what kind of display it is..

a general rule of thumb is if its under 8ms refresh, then its going to be TN
