whats a better LCD monitor for watching high rez bluray 1080p movies and PC Games with the BEST possible picture. the Planer PX2611W or the (Eizo FlexScan SX2461W) and FlexScan HD2441W
 
The Ezio is targited at graphic designers where input lag is not an issue. I think the 26 inch Planner has a good picture quality and a very low lag. This is from what I have read on this sight. I do not own either one.

Best of luck

thanks for your input. i wonder if the eizo monitors use an s-ips panel or a TN.
 
No way are they TN. S-IPS or S-PVA depending on the model. The 26" Planner is S-IPS.

Hope that helps

EIZO uses Samsung S-PVA for all the models you've described. If you just want to watch movies and pc games, I suggest you to go for Planar because of slightly bigger screen size, no lag, and way cheaper. I checked out EIZO SX2411W (i don't really remember whether it's SX or HD, but pretty sure it's 2411, which is exactly the same as HD2441W without HDMI input and is able to rotate the screen), color, saturation, and contrast is excellent but the price is pretty high (around $1450+ in Jan 08 when I looked it up), even NEC 2690 costs no more than $1200.

Just a reminder that NEC and Planar uses the same IPS panel.

yup your 100% right the EIZO panels are S-PVA panels. i emailed EIZO and they recommended the HD2441W-BK for my application to watch bluray 1080p movies at the BEST possible image and playing PC games.You recommend the PLANAR rather than the EIZO HD2441W-BK? what does everybody think would be the best choice out of these 2 monitors for my application.

i want the BEST PICTURE for playing BLURAY 1080P movies and playing PC GAMES.

let me hear all your inputs. thanks guys for the help.
your online buddy Draziom.
 
well Draziom, if you want the best possible picture, you better get a colormeter, because you wont have it without one.
a color calibrator, like a spyder 2 or 3, one eye, or x-rite.

if you're as serious about picture quality as you sound, you wont be happy without one.

does this software run an automatic calibration or do i have to adjust it manually? is it hardware or software?

I think most monitor calibration is hardware based. Judging from the products listed by Dunan. besides the ones he listed there is also the huey PRO.
 
the planar 26 inch i was gonna buy from great reviews from this website but because of the 3 faulty pixel policy its def not worth it. its very risky paying $1000 for a bad picture. i can order it and then get 1-3 stuck or dead pixels and planar will not replace it with another one. this is shit service. and not worth the risk.
i would rather stick to other companies who will replace your monitor with another one even if you have 1 bad pixel.

i wasnt aware of planar's policy of this. i'm glad i researched it.
