thanks for the info, fellas. I'm a photographer, and will use this new Beta version when I'm looking at photography in photo forums and galleries online, etc... which is pretty much most of the time. the colors on all the sites I have visited so far look much better, and less saturated on my...

Does anybody know how to get this monitor to look normal when surfing the web, etc? I hate how it's wide gamut and everything I view outside of Photoshop is saturated with too strong of colors. When I first bought it, I thought, wide gamut.... cool, sounds good. Now I'm realizing that...

Personally, I hope the price on this drops through the floor. Then the next one I buy will be even better and cheaper.

Amikoenig, Can you please explain to me what DV Mode you have your Planar PX26 in? Do you just leave it in Standard mode? What numbers did you try to Target with your calibration?

It's the summary screen in the Eye-One software, after calibration.

How can you tell that info, based on the chart info I posted? And, what's a nit?

I don't even know what backlight bleeding or black luminance is. I don't see a black luminance number on the results screen. I guess I don't have a good eye to know what to look for, but to me the monitor looks great, the colors look awesome. Now I just gotta see how my pictures print at the...

So essentially, your saying this monitor blows? I don't know much about the things you just said, All I know is that I put it on USER mode, set it with my calibrator, and then locked out the OSD menu so it can't change. Monitor looks great to me.

Ok, 2 hours later, here is your report :-) Monitor looks great! :-) I set it to sRGB, and set the colors to USER settings, and then I calibrated it with my Eye-One Display 2 kit. Results are good, were just what I'm looking for. Colors on the web, etc, look great, as well as those inside...

FedEX just knocked on my door and delivered my 26" Planar PX. I guess I'll see what this bad boy can do.

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to understand what this all means to me, as far as what I'm going to have to do in order to get the setup I want, as it pertains to calibrating with my Eye-One Display 2. Does it mean that I'll set the monitor to it's sRGB mode, do a calibration with the Eye...

Interesting. I'm guessing it's probably because you haven't calibrated your monitor to it. At least, that's what I'm hoping.

By the way, I ordered a Planar PX 26". It'll be here tomorrow (Wednesday).

Jefe, the reason I want to get things to be sRGB on all ends (camera + monitor profile settings), is so I DON'T have to edit things ("sham" in your eyes) much on the computer to get it to print well at the photo lab on their sRGB printer (which most all Pro Photo Labs are). Shooting in raw bogs...

How well does the sRGB preset work? does it look great? The other poster said it had a pink tint to it or something and didn't work right. Are you saying it works good?
