I'm researching a 24" monitor purchase. Here's what I know so far:

- TN panels are out due to poor viewing angle.
- I do a bit of photography work, so having a nice panel is a plus.
- Input lag <40ms is fine. I don't game enough for extremely low lag to be a must-have.
- Budget is flexible, but shooting for ~$1000 on a pair (~$500/each).

Here are the monitors I have my eye on:

- Dell 2408WFP
- DoubleSight DS-265W
- HP LP2475w

All three are $500ish and seem to provide good bang for the buck. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I have the same problem!
I'm about to buy a new LCD but don't know which to choose. :confused:
I can't find them in a shop to see picture quality so my only chance are the information found in the Internet.
My budget is $700 but I'd only pay more then $500 if it's an outstanding display.
I've made a list of the monitors which seemed good to me. I'm from Hungary so I also tell you the prices. It is important for me in the decision.

- Eizo S2401WH-GY - 700$
- HP w25558hc - 605$
- NEC EA241wm - 545$
- Samsung 2626wm - 520$
- Samsung 2693hm - 500$
- Dell e248wfp - 480$
- Samsung2493hm - 405$
- NEC LCD2470wvx - 360$
- Dell s2409w - 350$
- HP 2309m - 325$

I'm doing graphic design so the most important for me is: good colors, smoothly lit panel, viewing angles and deep blacks. I know that these monitors are not the best for designing, but my budget is limited.
PLEASE HELP ! ! !
 
HP 2475w is $850 in hungary : still expensive
what you've recommended the Dell 2709w is $1000 . . .

I know that the displays I've listed above are not the best for graphic design but this is the budget and I have to choose one. I think there is always a "best" from lot's of "bad" things :) Plz Plz help!!! Tell me your experiences!
 
NEC 24WMGX3 can be found in Germany for 499 euros, a better monitor than the HP LP2475w...have owned both.
 
well I think I buy HP 2309m for 325$
it's a glossy screen, so I'll probably get sharp and nice colors, and it has very good price
I don't know anything about this specific display but HP makes good things I have to trust in this fact
 
I've got the HP and it's fantastic except there is noticeable white glow. But it's a lot more just for a AW polarizer.

Great screen overall.

Sorry, but the OP isn't located in Hungary and that's what this thread is about. People are making suggestions for him, not you. I don't mean to be harsh, but if you want to find a monitor for a certain price in Hungary, then make your own thread about it.
