    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    A couple of questions for you: First, are you sure that TNs don't do the job for you for software development? Unless the top-to-bottom contrast shift bugs you, which is certainly possible, they should be able to be very sharp. Some of the text examples on digitalversus look pretty good...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Um... if your panel has no color shifting or dark/light lines, how does that mean that others have imagined theirs? Seems that lines of different brightness would be a manufacturing defect and would vary from panel to panel; it's certainly not a normal backlight effect. I don't know what would...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    And another question, for those that have it: HP sells a quick-release accessory with this monitor, which goes between the monitor and a VESA wall mount. The HP specs also mention a "built-in quick release", so for folks that have the monitor -- does the quick release that's built onto the...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    For those (including me) who were asking how Macs dealt with the high-gamut issue: http://www.gballard.net/photoshop/srgb_wide_gamut.html Looks like the Mac's color management isn't as smart as it could be. Unfortunate. (No, Snowdog, don't say you told me so.... :) )

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    I think you missed the context of my post. Albovin was saying that, for as long as his family photos existed, he'd need a standard gamut monitor. So the "easier" reference was in relation to some point in the future, when (hypothetically) standard-gamut monitors are a rarity and everything has...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    I have no inside knowledge from HP; I'm just quoting what has been said elsewhere on the thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1032979393#post1032979393 But it seems HP has good phone service, so the safest bet is certainly to call them and double-check.

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Yep, it's been addressed before in this thread, but since it's 45 pages long you can be forgiven for missing it. :) Someone confirmed that it was simply the way HP does promotions; the higher price is for business customers with contract discounts and reps they can haggle with; the lower price...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Rather than always having a standard-gamut monitor, wouldn't an easier answer be to get a color-managed photo viewer? Then all of your family photos, which are in sRGB, would be displayed correctly on a non-sRGB monitor. Perhaps I'm not understanding something, though? This color-gamut soup...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Interesting, I was just making the case on AT that there wasn't any reason to go for the Planar over the HP. The Planar is $820 on Newegg, though; I didn't realize it had dipped lower elsewhere. The HP is $620-650 at a couple places online (PCNation and CostCentral) -- not first-line...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    No, I think the red halos were a characteristic of the Dell 2708, if I'm remembering correctly. It's especially prevalent with black text on a white background, which is, oh, 99% of what some of us look at. Sash, thanks for your input -- I'm glad to hear that OS X handles this well. I'm...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Assuming that Amarie means the his/her eyes were bleeding because the text wasn't sharp enough -- i.e. with the red halo that I believe those panels were prone to -- then a 24" is the way to go. The lower pixel pitch will make the text sharper. Smaller too, you're right, but that's the...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Good question; I have the same questions from any Mac users out there. I'm looking into the HP for use with a Mac as well. I know that Macs have good color management, when compared to Windows -- as far as I've been able to gather Safari, the DVD player and the various OS windows themselves...
