Hey! Thanks in advance!

I need IPS for sure, and preferably one that is really really suited for design work. I don't do a lot of print but I do a lot of UI/UX, web, and other digital goodies.

Only quibble is I do something play the occasional FPS or Civ5 or anything really. Though 90% of my time will be working design... Also I use Wacom tablets, and you notice the input lag on those really easily.

I'm looking to get 3 monitors, as I'd be replacing the 27" iMac (mid-2010 w/SSD) for a custom. I need more pixel/screen space. 27" is amazing, not when your working in illustrator, photoshop (with multiple documents) and skype/browsers all at once...

Regardless the budget is ~$1000, preferably more towards $800.

Only have two idea's so far
  • Dell's U2311 (but I hear you have to crosship a bunch to get one with good QC)
  • NEC EA232WMi (I like nec, had the 20wmgx2 amazing fast no lag monitor!)

I might be able to justify 2x NEC LCD2490WUXi2 if people can give me a solid reason two.

I also have a Spyder Elite 3... So I'm not just a crazy guy looking for IPS buzzwords, I know what I'm doing ;)

Thoughts Suggestions?


Setup that I'll be building tomorrow:

  • Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz

  • OCZ Vertex 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC (SSD)
  • Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB 7200 RPM SATA III
  • CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-850HX 850W
