I was an HOUR from calling CDW and ordering the NEC 2960, and then someone turned my attention to Planar's product..... So I took another day, did more research, thought about it a bit, and decided to save the $600, and go for the Planar. And I never looked back again. ...But there is...

notnyt, so I installed your profile on my Mac, and tried it, but the display doesn't look any better..... The white became warmer and more "peachy"... Not that I'm bothered with the quality of the images on my LCD, I'm actually very happy, still.... I have: DV Mode TEXT Brightness at 0...

So I downloaded it to my Dell and am emailing it to my Mac at the office. Will try installing it on Monday.

Na, when opening it on my Dell I can download the file, but when on my Mac it opens a web page with bunch of gibberish code....

.........Haven't been around for quite a while...... So glad to read more happy owners here... Still am in love with my 26" Planar.... Hey, notnyt, can I use your .icc profile on my Mac too?

EW27: Don't blame CDW, it's all and only UPS' fault.... They do have many faults, UPS, I mean..... So you'll get the monitor on Monday and you'll have a great week, full of fun to play with your new Planar.... I have this monitor for 8 months now, it's my bread and butter, and I love it...

I'm on the Mac, so can't configure my video card separately like the PC does. Hey, PC users, can you stop by and help BIG$pender?

I'd also suspect it IS the same H-IPS (not S-IPS) panel... The specs are too similar (especially the 25.5" size...). And yes, it's weird that NONE of the LCD panels has the KIND of panel mentioned in their specs... Really weird, how such a fundamental piece of technical information is kept a...

Heh..... (thanks, Tamlin).

Come back with your report, flyboys....

As a designer I use QuarkXpress (page layout), Adobe Illustrator (for logo design and maps), Photoshop (for photo scan, color corrections and photo retouch and manipulation). I'm on the Mac. As for calibration, I use EyeOne, so couldn't give you any tips on Spyder2.

I love it. I really do. No issues whatsoever, it just does the job beautifully. As to Acer's, I have no idea. My PERSONAL feeling is that Acer sells a lower-end line of products... Unless they've changed lately.

Hey, is everybody asleep here?
