Hi all,

I'm looking for a good monitor to work with, read and write mostly, I use a multy display configuration with xps dell pc.

I've tried with no success to calibrate a too bright dell 2408WFP, paying with control contrast, colours, and calibrating with spyder3pro; this is probably a good monitor for gaming but not to work. The text is never clear, mostly when black over gray or blue backgrounds, it looks like shining, plus the red colour is saturated.

I would be looking for something more "natural" now, less bright and more eye-friendly reading and writing, any idea? there are pleanty of good reviews about 24-inch panels but would like to avoid something similar to the dell one which has fantastic reviews but its not good at all for me.

thanks
 
like I said in the other thread check out HP LP2465. It doesnt have all those input options like the dell (only 2 DVI) but I hear its great for office work.
 
Actually a cheap TN panel will generally have great text quality. I have owned 5 LCDs now and every main type.

TN and IPS have the best text. I also saw that shiny text issue with my dell 2405 that I quickly got rid of.

Standard Gamut is your best choice to not get that over-saturated red problem. I am also very sensitive to this.

The final piece of the puzzle for easy on the eyes is a backlight/brightness control that goes low enough to be easy on the eyes without resorting to the nasty gimmick of using more panel blockling.

The only lower powered backlight, IPS/TN screen with standard gamut that comes immediately to mind as a good choice are the Benq V2400/G2400 panels. Easily found for under $400. These IMO are ideal for working with text and will be very easy on the eyes.
 
very interesting thanks, just affraid would not be easy find the benq you mention here in UK.

thanks
