    DELL 2408WFP VS HP LP2475W...

    I sent my Dell back after a few days it was so bad, my HP I've had for months.

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    no, my 2475 has perfect text - probably the best I've seen on an LCD monitor (and I've had a fair few!).

    21:9 Aspect Ratio Philips TV

    Another idea I just had - make the "black bars" the same colour (and maybe even design if it's fancy) as the bezel. That would be quite cool.

    21:9 Aspect Ratio Philips TV

    The only solution for the poor lambs who's eyes bleed when they see a black bar is a dynamically resizable display - which is never going to happen.

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    An ICC profile is a little file that basically describes the colour profile of your monitor and allows programs to map colours accurately. Firefox can read them, and you can load them on boot into your graphics card LUT using something like LutLoader (search this thread for that word).

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    Mine came with DVI, VGA-DVI and DisplayPort. It may also have come with an HDMI but I cannot remember and the box is in the attic.

    Need help w/ LP2475W issues and calibration

    First of all, whack the brightness down to around 10, that will give the desired 120cd/m2. Secondly, of course the reds are oversaturated - this is a wide-gamut monitor. Without a proper hardware calibration being performed this will be the case. As for text, mine looks fine, but you need...

    HP LP2475w (Possible new IPS)

    ecat: are you using firefox with colour management enabled? In that case you will see banding which is a natural side effect of colour space conversions (mapping sRGB onto aRGB).

    Why no Plasma PC monitors

    Also, that contrast ratio would only be possible if it was eye-searingly bright, which isn't required for a monitor.

    37" TV LCD as a pc monitor? Too big? Any health risk of long-term usage?

    TV's tend to be much brighter than monitors, as long as you can dial it right down to 120cdm^2 you should be fine.
