I am looking to buy either a 24" or 27" LCD monitor (IPS) to be used primarily for photo editing. Budget is $500-$1000.

Recommendations?

I've been using the Dell Ultrasharp series, 30". It's a beautiful screen.

I have the SyncMaster P2770HD I bought from Costco. It's beautiful.

The best monitor in this price bracket is the NEC PA241W, available with or without NEC's integrated Spectraview II calibration system.

I would look at reviews and comparisons of all these screens at CNET.com, PC magazine and PC World websites.

EIZO FTW! if you have the cash of course. There are alternatives that are bang for the buck.

I'm sure it is... But is it color accurate? This is a BIG TN paneled monitor targeted at video gamers. It only has 160 degree viewing angle.

Would not know. It's my external monitor for my HP 17 inch laptop I just got. I have it about 20 inches from my head. It's awesome!

Any of these from Newegg should do.
