    Best non TN for under $500?

    I had the Lenovo. Honestly wasn't that impressed with it. The panel/coating is quite grainy.

    Lenovo L220X

    I had the wide gamut high resolution Lenovo. The oversaturation kind of bothered me. I'm using an NEC 2490 now, and I still miss the glossy coating on the 20wmgx2.

    Lenovo L220X

    I had the 20wmgx2 and the Lenovo - there's no comparison. The 20wmgx2 is in a league of it's own. The Lenovo looks washed out, in addition to being grainy/sparkly. There is also a batch that may have had a problem with the text rendering being hard to read. I think I had one of those units...

    PVA vs IPS ??

    I agree with the example. I've got a Lenovo L220x which is a PVA and text is hard to read and everything is slighty fuzzy. The grain/sparkle of the panel doesn't help. I'm surprised this doesn't get brought up more often. I'm not sure how anyone uses this for serious color work. I find the...

    Lenovo L220X

    Thanks for the technical explanation. I find the grain/sparkly to be distracting. Maybe it'll get better with user break-in. ;)

    Lenovo L220X

    Well I've seen the 23" ACD @ the Apple Store. I thought it was a bit sparkly, but my impression was that it was pretty nice. All you have to do with this Lenovo is startup Vista with the default background to see the sparkle/grain. Voila! Anyway, I'm surprised nobody mentioned this in...

    Lenovo L220X

    Well, I guess I should have a done search on here. Lots of people using the exact same words to describe newer PVA panels. I'll still probably keep the Lenovo, since it's resolution is very nice for the work I do.

    Lenovo L220X

    Like how metallic paint on car has flecks in it. Anyway, it just looks really grainy/sparkly. I'm coming from an Nec 20wgx2 and a TN panel.

    MacBook Pro vs MacBook for a designer

    The MBP should have a better screen. According to Anandtech, the MBP should have an IPS panel, vs a TN panel for the Macbook. You can tell because the viewing angles get washed out on the Macbook.

    Lenovo L220X

    I picked up the Lenovo. Nice resolution and viewing angles, but the panel is very sparkly.

    NEC 2490 w/ Spectraview?

    Thanks for the help. It's hard to find any good info on this monitor since no one in their right mind would shell out this much for a 24". Well, no one except if they want the best and know the difference.

    NEC 2490 w/ Spectraview?

    Question - can I calibrate the 2490 with a 3rd party calibration tool? Am I right in assuming the advantage with the Spectraview is that it is able to save the calibration settings in the LCD?
