    New B&W MM-1 computer speakers and other options

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the MC15's are studio monitors. So....I think you can connect a sub, but simply don't need an amp because they are actives. What bookshelf speakers can you get for this price? Because Dynaudio bookshelf are more like $2000 a pair for quality...

    New B&W MM-1 computer speakers and other options

    Okay. I asked the same question as the OP a LONG time ago, but got virtually squat response. Nice to see the topic come up again! Slightly off topic, but still entirely related to the OP's original question, what do people think of these from Dynaudio: The MC15's. Dynaudio's...

    HP ZR24w

    Nope. Its the same thing. I've had the Dell U2410 H-IPS and now the EA231 E-IPS. If anything the E-IPS panel is actually better than the H-IPS on the Dell. More relevant would be comparing the coating on the screen. 20wmgx2 by all reports has a fine coating. Anywho u can't compare a...

    LCD for a CRT fanatic?

    +1 for the NEC EA231wmi. After this baby I would never go back to a CRT. Everything looks better on the NEC. ;)

    A new NEC professional IPS? PA series

    I think that Woodcroft was referring to the fact that there is a distinct absence of quality monitors for your average joe computer user. Average consumers (read non graphic artists/photographers) want quality and ARE willing to pay....but everything has to be within reason....why pay for...

    NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi

    This has to be one of the most accurate true to life and funny posts I have read in a long while! I laughed myself silly. It describes me to a tea....or at least the old me...before I got over my return twitch habit. Be reassured Eric that the glow on the Dell U2410 at least in my...

    Cant decide between HP LP2475w or NEC EA231WMi

    My advice would be to wait if u can wait...It looks to be a promising maybe even exciting year for the IPS LCD market with a plethora of new models on the market from HP, Dell and NEC. All will be competing for your dollar and all are hopefully aware of what the other is offering. Which...

    NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi

    I received a reply from NEC America when I queried H/O direct re buying the NEC in Silver/White in America. There response was brief and to the point. I have deleted it unfortunately since from my mailbox, otherwise I would have pasted here. Suffice to say the Silver/White is not available in...

    NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi

    I don't mean to be rude, but if the person behind the camera doesn't really know what they are doing any monitor can be made to look bad. As Blazestorm has already alluded to, the pics that come out are dependent on exposure time, eV level, flash, lighting conditions etc. IOW u can't judge...

    Cant decide between HP LP2475w or NEC EA231WMi

    +1. Have the NEC. Beautiful display to look at. Even better when its actually switched on. :D :p Had the Dell U2410 which is similar to the HP2475. Massive problems with these screens. Big 150+ page thread on the HP LP2475 too. Lots of negative comments re tinting. Seems to be worse on the...

    EIZO FLEXSCAN EV2333WH vs NEC EA231WMi

    Acknowledged. But there reviews are nevertheless very thorough and informative. I always read their review and take their findings/opinion into consideration before making purchase. Very helpful in making an informed decision re monitor purchases, but must always look to other sources too to...

    EIZO FLEXSCAN EV2333WH vs NEC EA231WMi

    Thank You! :) I think i understand now. This: "But it tells nothing about the representation of (for example) sRGB content. Besides you "look into the profile" and see what primaries are recorded (in case of a matrix profile). A theoretical display with a sRGB coverage of just 50% can of...

    Durable HiFi Earphones - Recommendations Please

    Yeah. This is an option I have been considering. But I thought to myself surely in the whole world there must be some damn company that makes IEM's for more active people. With appropriate wiring,build and sound quality of course. ;):D

    NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi

    How did you achieve this ratio? The best I have gotten is 913:1 which is something very similar to TFTcentral's findings. 913:1 is v. good for an IPS but I guess it still can't live up to everybody's expectations for high contrast. Maybe abraxas was referring to the IPS glow that causes...

    EIZO FLEXSCAN EV2333WH vs NEC EA231WMi

    Without fully understanding all the above, does this mean that "measurement against sRGB with transformation through a CMM (Adobe ACE)" is necessarilly a more accurate measure of judging whether a monitors colors are accurate than simply "measurement against the transformations of the...

    How is sparco.com as a retailer? Has anybody used them? Someone mentioned them before for the EA231 and I was just wondering if they were a reliable company to buy from.

    EIZO FLEXSCAN EV2333WH vs NEC EA231WMi

    This review: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/nec_ea231wmi.htm and their findings throws that assertion out the window. Looks like both are approx as accurate as each other. Just depends on what type of sample you receive IMO. What difference does 0.1 dE deviation mean in...

    What's the next best step to improve my audio setup?

    "nothing could possibly be better" - Where did I say this? there is no objective "best" - I asked for your subjective opinion. Something I will be sure never to ask you again. Basically: 1. I can see that you like to argue 2. You have v little pertinent or useful information to add re...

    I didn't ask you to list every bookshelf speaker ever manufactured...I simply asked your opinion on what you thought were good bookshelf speakers. Your top 5 would have been good enough. But if that is too much for you......:confused: Or perhaps you are just interested in being rude......How...

    Durable Earphones - Klipsch v Etymotic

    But are they hard wearing? Like if I pull on them a bit too much will they fall apart. Because I have been through something like 6 IEM's and they are all made of fairyfloss. One just fell apart in my hands (not joking) :confused: 3 of them the seal just fell out after 6 months.:eek: 2...

    Is a 27" TN panel a bad idea or stump up for IPS?

    You are comparing TN to IPS. This can hardly be considered a sidegrade. You either want superior image quality with the NEC IPS panel or larger viewing area with the HP. IOW they are BOTH an upgrade to you current Viewsonic.

    NEC 23" IPS EA231WMi

    Nope. No noise on mine. Quiet as a mouse! :D I know what you refer to however, as this was an issue for some Europeans with the 2490wuxi emitting a high pitched whine/humming.

    What's the next best step to improve my audio setup?

    Yes...open to all options..Please list away: 1. Speakers that fit on the desk i.e. not monstrously huge and will fit in a decent sized room. 2. Look decent on the desk 3. Better audio quality than the Klipsch (subjective I know...but if widely acknowledged as amazing fidelity what does it...

    Durable Earphones - Klipsch v Etymotic

    This is definitely possibile as I have also heard of failing Klipsch Pro Medias. My GMX 2.1 are better but act up now and again. Having said that Klipsch anything = sound quality supreme (some weak areas though) Does anybody run/go to the gym on these forums as well as use computers + have...

    What's the next best step to improve my audio setup?

    Curious to know what is currently on the market that beats the Klipsch Pro Media in terms of sound quality at the same price point (or at least at a reasonable read <$500 price)? I have heard the ProMedia 2.1 and 4.1 and they sound as good as some so called Hi Fi systems I have listened to...

    Decision about Monitor for Video and Graphics creation

    Sorry about the double post but this is important to consider also: I also neglected to mention that both the 2690 adn CG243W are wide gamut so colors will look over saturated in modes out of sRGB. Considering that you need accurate colors and most of your work will be done in programs that...
