    Just got a Samsung XL30 - 30" LED

    I think Ablovin just has a hang up on this issue. he has the right not to like what his eyes tell him. Fortunately not everyone bases the choice in monitors soley on viewing angle. What is odd and NOT accurate for Ablovin is the fact that his screen cannot tell the difference between 250...

I do pre editing with a Samsung XL30 (the mother of LCD screens), and NEC26(the father of LCD screens). .. after doing some zoomed edits, Everything going to press...

    NO. Not tested the lag. I have been using it for video and photo, and have had no lag issues. One thing that is a problem... Samsung has not made a driver for the calibration to work with Windows 7 and they have no intention of it. You would need to have a seperate drive with XP installed to...

    I would recommend LED technology. maybe see if others besides Samsung use this so you have some options.

    No problem, I understand. So the monitor has no issues displaying the difference in value is good news. I wonder what settings you used to calibrate? If you had calibrated with settings close or same as mine posted earlier, I think it should expose the differnce of the values(If you open...

    I am saying this from your observation that the screen you base your conclusions cannot show the difference between these to values. It should show an ever so slight difference.

    yes...love those lights...I here great things about them....For that type (color corrected ambient room) of lighting, I actual use LED...hahaha, I guess I really do like the technology of things going forward.

    The life span alone will pay for itself on the XL30, LED's will outlast the 3090 x4 Within a few years your calibrations will be more and more shifted. Brightness will go down. The above I mention on most screens, I dont know how NEC does warranty backups for 5, so perhasp that is...

    ah yes I see they are moving towards them...hehe. Well one thing for sure, if you do printing with any of your work, then dimming is very important for a few reasons. You dont have to tweak the monitor, its easier on the eyes(I know this maybe different if you are in and out of the room...

    Viewing the turtle in CS3 its it normal RGB untagged the rectagle SHOWS...as it SHOULD. When viewing in a custom proof mode like SWOP prepress it gets blended, as it should since you are dealing with white and black emulation. What is good to know from this is that the NEC is not...
