    DreamColor disappointment: IT DITHERS!

    Yes it does matter. What I'm saying is that a true and full 30-bit pipeline, eliminates any dithering. You do not have to wait for the next firmware release with upgraded dithering, because the firmware doesn't have to do any dithering with a full 30-bit pipeline. I have seen the difference...

    Just got a Samsung XL30 - 30" LED

    I use a mixture of 4 of these : SoLux Tech and SoLux Task. Had to order through a drop shipping company because they only deliver to the USofA and Canada. I would say that on average it's 50/50 press and digital targets for my work. And you are correct about dimming. I would even go so far...

    Just got a Samsung XL30 - 30" LED

    It's ironic. I meant exactly the opposite. Place it in context and you'll see what I mean.;) I'm not against XL30 it's in the #2 spot of my target list. I'm not against 3090 either, it's #1 on my target list. EDIT:The deciding factor between those two is price. I can buy 2 x 3090 for the...

    DreamColor disappointment: IT DITHERS!

    DVI is 8-bits per colour in and out. Regarding HDMI, you seem pretty sure that your source, and source material are HDMI 1.3 compliant. Your target definitely is. Of those 3 you mentioned only the PS3 has HDMI 1.3 capability (without Dolby TrueHD en DTS HD; but that doesn't affect the...

    Thanks for confirming this. I mentioned the brightness issue a couple of pages earlier in this topic (Smack in the middle of this posting) : http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1033286874&postcount=95 EDIT: I even have colour shift quoted to enforce that it's not really colour shift...

    If you enjoy looking at you killer turtles time after time, then you definitely should get a monitor that displays that specific picture best. Are you confirming that you are unknowledgeable ?

    Congratulations and a great choice. You lucky dog. Top of my list to. Only waiting to see what HP comes up with as a replacement for the LP3065 (which was third). It shouldn't take too long though, otherwise I'll have one of these myself. BTW, is that your dress in the first picture ?:p

    Tell Dell to go play with themselves. The card you're linking is a PCI card and will not do. You need an AGP 4x graphics card, with 128MB+ VRAM, and DVI-I or DVI-D port. You will also need a DVI-D cable. The graphics card section is your first stop to ask. Check out the video card section at...

    The graphics card you have now, is it the one with AGP out only ? Does it support 1920x1200 res @32bit ? If it does, I guess that it will do, but you're pushing it with the video RAM. Check the system requirements (graphics card in this case) of your software also. Remember that PS CS3 and...

    Good luck with it. Or you might consider the ACD 24" Luthorcrow suggests. I totally forgot about Apple. And I believe that even their 30"monitors are still sRGB. Not too sure though. Keep in mind though, that you will forfeit full hardware calibration when you take the Apple route. Anyway...

    Well, because you have to buy now, it's not getting any easier. Just make sure that you don't get yourself into financial shite for anything. If it's for work, shouldn't it be tax deductable ?

    I don't know what your current monitor situation is. If they are still bareable, you could try to save up the extra US$500 for the SV 2490 in a reasonable time. That would be the better solution. You'll have a perfectly/sufficient calibrated monitor in no time to get on with your work...

    I cannot comment on the 24"Samsung and NEC monitors. Never seen them. Don't forget to take into consideration that the 245T is wide gamut, and that the 2490 is sRGB. http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1286039 http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1355595 LCD 24'': Iiyama B2403WS...

    For what it's worth : Contrary to what one might think, I highly respect albovin's knowledge and input. I only wish he wouldn't sometime bent the thruth to favour his cause. I have no intention to flame. To me it's just a slightly heated discussion. It's a bit like discussing suitability...

    Check out this thread at the Adobe forums : Current monitor recommendations Notice the first 2 posts (you might have to click "Show All Messages").

    Sh.ite you beat me to it. In Vista, the taskbar on the secondary/extended monitor doesn't support previews when you hover over the tasks with your mouse cursor. I probably missed something when trialling, or it wasn't there yet, but to me the theming feature is iffy. The taskbar should adopt...

    A JPEG/JPG will not show what you want. Or maybe it does. Because it's a lossy format. And I'll tell you a public secret. If I wanted to, I could select whatever part of a picture and make it look just that little bit worse. Or for instance, take a high quality jpeg (and also saved only...

    What's your choice of 2 or more 30" LCD robotic arm/stand?

    Ergotron LX Triple/Dual Display Lift Stand (Don't forget to deduct the weight of each monitor's base/stand, before saying it's too heavy.) This is so cool : TransTFT - 15" TFT panel transformed to something more aesthetic.

    You're not missing anything. It's a myth. At least with the latest panels. But at least you know what to do if you want it back. Just take your wireless keyboard and chair to the room door and work from there.

    It's OK. That's the problem with universal/generic, you have to please too many needs and requirements. The technology is not ready yet. Peace man. Oh, and I put in a request at Samsung to decorate your walls with S-PVA panels.:p

    Just got a Samsung XL30 - 30" LED

    Yes Sony. I agree on that one. It still is a loss for the market. You can't compare a 2490 to a 3090 (nor to a 2690). You are comparing sRGB to wide gamut aRGB. If you stop doing that, there's still (only?) the issue of non-uniformity with the 3090. It's one of the dealbreakers for me. I...

    albovin, don't bend the thruth, right after that sentence comes this one : But if you are ready to compromise somewhat in order to be able to work within the AdobeRGB or even larger gamut, you should certainly consider the SyncMaster XL series. This could also been said about the NEC...

    Aren't there any refurbished Samsung 305T or 305T+ ? They do not have the same chemical AG-treatment as the *IPS panels. If you're not firmly in either the *IPS or *PVA gang, they could be an option. I believe that the 305T non-plus has no HDCP on the DVI-port and the plus does, if that's...

    Official Vizio VMM26 thread. The ultimate LCD monitor?

    Your new monitor looks to suffer from too much brightness, and just a little too much contrast (but this could also come from your camera or my monitor), and defintely lack of yellow and red. I picked the photos where this shows up the most. You can get rid of the blue cast : if the OSD offers...
