As I've mentioned, you really don't need a meter or any kind of expertise to get a good idea of what your average gamma is. Visual gamma test patterns, like these Lagom patterns or this pattern, will pretty much tell you what your average gamma is, particularly when display gamma is reasonably...

It is (IMO) not really a problem if the gamma levels vary between units, vary between countries, or if BenQ has changed the gamma points. What is strange/bad is that BenQ sets default gamma so high and has pretty large steps between the gamma settings. The latter could be an issue for some...

FWIW, it's not true that all new BenQ monitors have those corresponding gamma levels. I have an EW2750ZL, and as I mentioned earlier in this thread, the gamma levels are off by ~0.2 in comparison to what is stated in the PC Monitors review. So on my monitor: 1 = ~2.3 (this is the setting that...

The EW2750ZL's gamut is a little wide, like around maybe 104% sRGB.

HCFR and dispcalGUI with Argyll. Easy to use is debatable, but those are the best free programs.

Amen to that.

He said 40" max and up to $1200.

I don't have that monitor, but it sounds like it provides color management settings (the settings you mentioned for primary and secondary colors). The RGB values that you're looking at on tftcentral are for color temperature. Go to your monitor's color temperature setting and change it to...

I like my EW2750ZL a lot, but the stand doesn't meet OP's requirements, and it unfortunately isn't VESA mountable. How about a BenQ GW2760HS with a VESA stand purchased separately? I prefer VA myself, and the GW2760HS meets your requirements (27" 1920x1080 flicker-free AMVA) if you purchase a...

I'm pretty certain that accuracy is exactly the same -- it will obviously vary some from meter to meter, but I don't think it varies between the two models. They're the same hardware. If you aren't wanting to use commercial software, then I don't think there is really any reason to get the Pro...

I use a ColorMunki Display and formerly used a DTP-94. They are both good meters. The i1Display Pro and ColorMunki Display are essentially the same meter, but some limitations were added to the ColorMunki through firmware or whatever. IIRC, differences are that the ColorMunki takes slower...

If you are talking about dark colors "smearing" or ghosting during movement, then that is definitely a hallmark of VA. VA displays have poor response times when transitioning between dark shades. Because of the color scheme of this forum, you'll see these colors smearing if you scroll the pages...

I had an EW2750ZL delivered yesterday, and I like it a lot. It's much better than my two older VA monitors (Samsung 2333T and S24A650S). Unlike some people here, I like the bezel. On my old monitor, the glossy bezel reflects images on the screen. The color is very good; much better than the...

I understand. Just be warned that some companies, like LG, use IPS in many of their TVs. And they use different panel types in different screen sizes within the same model series. So if, for example, you find a review online of a 47" LG model "X", you cannot assume that the 60" model "X" uses...

I have a 48" UN6350. It's okay, I guess. It's in a spare room and never really gets used. To be blunt, it looks like garbage next to my ST60 plasma. I wouldn't want something like that as my primary display. But if you're going to buy an LCD, then IMO, the most important thing to do is make sure...
