    HP LP2275w - buy or wait?

    You've got me thinking.. Thing is, I thought that wide-gamut would be useful for me, as I am studying graphic design. But most printed work is done in cmyk anyway, which is a rather small color space, and I don't recall working a lot with aRGB pictures. Adobe RGB of course is useful for...

    HP LP2275w - buy or wait?

    I'm also considering it, because I'm on a tight budget. I'm studying graphic design. The Dell U2410 is better of course, but it is also twice the money. Another option I am considering is the Dell 2209WA which is considered to be great value for money and quite color-accurate (more accurate...

    Best 20-22 inch LCD for graphic designers?

    Thank you. Yes, I've read that review as well as the one in prad.de and it does look decent. That's why I am unsure as to whether I should wait a while and pay considerable more money on the Dell (even though the Dell looks like a dream monitor based on its specs). [Also, I am unsure about...

    Best 20-22 inch LCD for graphic designers?

    I'm also looking for 22"-24" monitor which is ok for graphic design and affordable. Even though it is a pva panel, I am considering the HP LP2275W, as it is very affordable. Another thought is to wait for the Dell U2410 to see reviews etc and also save more money, to go for that instead...

    Dell laptop / dvi input

    Yes, the Dell Studio does have HDMI but it is significantly pricier because of its "high definition" display, which, generally, I won't be using - I will be working with the external monitor. The laptop I am talking about it the top right model which can be found on this page [I am going to be...

    dvi / vga connection, picture quality

    Thank you all. Now I've got a much better picture of what goes on.

    dvi / vga connection, picture quality

    So, it is a matter of the graphics card, not the port. I'm sure it will be fine then, the model I'm looking at has a relatively new ati radeon. Thanks! :)

    dvi / vga connection, picture quality

    Yes, you are right, my mistake :p Is is possible that the vga-out does not support this resolution?

    dvi / vga connection, picture quality

    Thank you, this helps clear the situation. I have never owned a laptop or tft screen (only desktop with crt) and this is new to me. So, the only thing I have to confirm now is that the vga-out can drive the 1600x1080 resolution, right?

    Need sub $499 color accurate 24" LCD or Sony FW900 (help me decide)

    Some EIZOs have TN panels, so be aware. From the price tag, I'm guessing this one could have a TN panel which is very inaccurate in regard to colors."Eizo" does not necessarily mean "good".

    Dell laptop / dvi input

    Thank you. I have to order it through the internet and I think it will be kind of difficult to find photos of the specific model with the dedicated graphics card. Inspiron laptops in general only have vga out, and I was told that the vga out is unable to support a 1600x1080 resolution. Hmdi...

    Dell laptop / dvi input

    Hi. I want to purchase a Dell Inspiron laptop and connect an external monitor to it with dvi. The specifications on Dell's website say that the Inspiron laptops in general do not have dvi connections. But after chatting online with a technician, he said that because this particular model has a...

    dvi / vga connection, picture quality

    Well, probably this should have gone to the "mobile computing" thread, but I am planning to get a Dell Inspiron which is quite powerful and costs only around 590 english pounds (including a 4-year warranty), which is roundly 700 euro or 1000 dollars. I realize that for the same money I can get...

    dvi / vga connection, picture quality

    The monitor says specifically that the input is "DVI (analog/digital)" - it accepts both DVI-A and DVI-D :)

    dvi / vga connection, picture quality

    Hi again. I was wondering whether someone could answer me this: if I use a converter to connect the vga out to the analog input of the dvi (VGA to DVI-A), will it impose a further loss of quality? Or is it the same since both signals (vga / dvi-analog) will be analog? Thank you.
