So, I'm considering taking the plunge and replacing my 245bw. It's an old, uncalibrated 24" TN with amazingly low input lag. I've never really complained about the monitor and have been quite happy with it. I say this to identify where I am on the "how senstive to X are you" questions.
When I bought the monitor I played lots of FPS, but now not so much. I still play lots video games, but just not twitch games as much. So I don't want ghosting, insane overshoot, or insane input lag. So I've pretty much said I want a Zr30W, right? I'm not so sure.
In the past year, I've picked up digital photography photo editing. After getting some cheap prints done, I realized I need a calibrated monitor, and something better than this TN panel. So fuck me, I'm now asking for a perfect gaming and photo editing monitor, that most say doesn't exist.
So I'm trying to sort through this, and frankly, I just don't keep up with monitors that much. So I need some help. My requirements are below:
30" 2560x1600. (I know the 27" are out pacing the 30", but I don't want a 27".)
Good (not great) gaming performance
Decent Color reproduction for photo editing
Calibratable
Don't think I want a wide gamut, but could be talked into it.
What am I describing? I.e. what should I limit my search to and go read more about? Or are there really still no decent jack of all trade 30"s these days?
