Thanks for the feedback.
I wouldn't say I need an absolutely color critical screen, however my main purpose for upgrading my monitor is for photo editing, so color accuracy is important. I suspect though that either the Dell or the NEC will be better than my current monitor.
Wasserkool - Unfortunately, the new 2490 doesn't have the A-TW polarizer, like the old one.
Snowdog - Good point. I actually liked my current TN panel (Samsung 225BW) until recently when the viewing angles started driving me crazy.
10e, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I'm not very technical though when it comes to this stuff. However, I am very practical, and all of the technical stuff doesn't really matter to me if I can't see the difference in picture quality. Bottom line is, I'm just looking for the best...
Thanks for the summary. But in practical terms, when the two monitors are side by side, is there a noticeable difference in quality with the NEC, compared to the U2412?
10e,
In the Dell U2412 forum, you sort of compared the NEC 2490WUXi2 with the Dell when you first got the U2412. Then later you said that you loved the Nec for "different reasons." Could you provide a quick summary of your thoughts between these two monitors? I'm primarily interested in...
Makavelli,
Are you still planning on doing the comparison between panels. I have the same Samsung 225BW monitor and would love you see the HP24ZW side by side with the Samsung 225BW once you've calibrated them both.
