    34" 21:9 UltraWide Displays (3440x1440) - LG UM95/UM65 & Dell U3415W

    If its anything like past performance, you may have to sift through a few Dells to find one without defect. LG seems to be more selective in which panels get used in their brand monitor. Dells are typically easier to get from their direct store, and they often go on sale.

    Down between these two, please help me decide. 29EA93-P or 27EA83R-D.

    I think those panels are near identical performance wise, so its just a choice of format. For typical photo and video editing work, the 27 is better. With the 29 you can display two pages side by side easier. I just find the height of the 27 more useful than the width of the 29. The 29 takes up...

    Looking for < $1000 27inch monitor for photo and video editing

    The LG 27EA83D is an excellent wide gamut display with just a bit of matt. I use routinely for video and photo editing, a perfect display no edge leaks. Newegg is selling them for $750, which is a decent deal. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005400.

    How OCable is the LG 27EA83R-D?

    Depends on what you are doing with them, the pros here think the high end LGs are the best performers of anything under $1000 and Acers are crap... but what do the know? Customer service not so good Dell has great customer service, but you will need it as typically you go through 3 before...

    Are all matte monitors grainy? Advice appreciated

    Beg to differ, most pros around here migrate to full glossy, especially if they use Mac computers for editing. There is just no substitute, its not only grain but color depth and clarity. Ag coatings are for consumer monitors or offices. I don't know of any photo pros that use the Dell monitors...

    U2713H or 27EA83

    I hear prad.de tested an initial release international version LG with older and defective firmware (bad LG). You want to be carful when looking at reviews, some you just can't figure out. The USA LG versions all have updated firmware which performs much better. Sample of one, but my LG performs...

    U2713H or 27EA83

    I've had my wide gamut LG for a couple months. I don't notice the PWM. They both use the same screen but it seems LG picks the best ones to put in their monitor. Mine is perfect, excellent factory calibration. As with all IPS panels, you get up close and off center you will notice a bit of...

    VP2770 vs LG27EA83

    The LGs are pretty much sold out everywhere at the moment. You may have to pay a premium for the monitor that many think is the best you can get for less than $1000 .. so you will have better luck with the slower selling and older ViewSonic, on sale now several site at $750 or so.. but many...

    Which Ultrawide 29" is better?

    They are both excellent they use the same screen. Look for the better deal, unless you want a feature the other does not have (PIP, Daisy chain, warranty) http://www.anandtech.com/show/6741/lg-29ea93-monitor-review-rev-125

    LG 27EA83-D

    The LG 27EA83-D is wide gamut (aRGB and sRGB) the 27EA83R is suppose to be a less expensive narrow gamut (sRGB). Otherwise they are identical. Most here only need sRGB. The write up of the 27EA83V seems to be the same as the -D version but it isn't listed on LGs USA web page. Perhaps an...

    led monitors with PIP ?

    Many of the LG models have PIP and can be driven from two sources. Some have four screens the 27ea83 line in particular.... oh wait you are looking for something less than $400... good luck. The ASUS VE278Q has PIP and ~ $200 refurbished The Samsung SyncMaster B2430HD is about $300

    Dell U2913 vs LG 29EA93

    Anandtech measured the total LG monitor lag from input and pixel response was between 9 and 15ms. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6741/l...view-rev-125/7 Just saying if that makes any difference to you, and if its not apples and oranges as some of these reviews are... Their review starts...

    Dell U2913 vs LG 29EA93

    You should probably start a new thread.. The -D is wide gamut, the R is sRGB, dunno what the V is, specs look the same as the -D... perhaps it includes the calibrator...
