I'm in the market for a 20-24" monitor that doesn't break the bank. It will be mostly used for gaming, coding, and web design.
On this forum, many of you make it seem like TN panels are unbearable for any type of design work. The main points were this:
- Poor viewing angles
- Moving your head slightly causes the colors to change/distort
- Poor color accuracy
So, I was dead set on avoiding TN. But, today I decided to check out these monitors at my local best buy, and I don't really see what all the fuss is about. The colors did NOT distort if I moved my head slightly and I even tried viewing these monitors at extreme angles and saw nothing wrong. Am I completely missing something or are have TN panels improved recently?
Also...what monitor would you recommend? I don't really want to shell out $400 for a Dell 2007WPF if I can avoid it, but the monitor needs to be suitable for web design.
