Hello,

I'm in the market for a new LCD to replace my aging Sony HS94P display.

I want to move up to some sort of an IPS panel whether it be S-IPS or H-IPS.

I have ZERO experience shopping for these IPS panels and I don't know what to look for so I was hoping you guys could recommend some high performing monitors.

I don't need too much real estate.. 20"-24" is ideal.

I will primarily use this monitor for first person shooter games like counter-strike and crysis. I will also use it to do business, school work, and edit photos in photoshop.

Cost is not a factor for me. I just want the best display for the money. around $700 should be a good price range.

I had the Apple cinema display in mind, but people are telling me there are better performing displays out there for the money. Is this true? I really like its aesthetics.

Please help me choose a nice high end display that will play games and get my photo editing done! Thanks!
 
24" with inputlag (although a lot less then PVA based 24"): HP LP2475w

20": Dell 2007FP (4:3, 1600x1200, $399)
 
-Every lag is bad

-Depends on the individual

-Will it hurt your gaming performance? Guaranteed!
 
Hm. If you want a low input-lag, you have to go the TN way - something like BenQ G2400WD or V2400W.
 
My guess would be he meant to type 'low' rather than 'lot'

Not positive, though, but that was the assumption I made.

You are right, it should be "low", no "lot". I have to do a better job checking my messages.
I appologize. :eek:
 
I would echo the recommendation for the HP LP2475W.

It's likely that it will have less input lag than your Sony, and likely a better picture too.

You will want a color management ICM profile for Photoshop to have photo colors displayed at their proper saturation levels, as it is a wide gamut screen so colors outside of color managed applications like Photoshop and FireFox 3 will appear deeper and stronger than they should. While calibration is recommended in this aspect, it is also likely you can find a color profile on the HP LP2475W thread for your purposes.

Most people complain about too much red with wide gamut (in Windows/IE). Is it not realistic to just utilize sRGB and tone red down to compensate, and it would be fine for "everything" if you don't need 100% color accuracy for programs like Photoshop?
