NEC 2470WNX

[EW27]

I need a new monitor, mainly for gaming and Photoshop/Illustrator work, and have about $700. Since I like NEC and want a non-TN, but can't find a 20WMGX2 and can't afford a larger IPS, I'm considering an LCD2470WNX. Are there any 2470WNX owners here that can answer the following?

- The response time is 6ms, which is good for a PVA, so I'm assuming they intended it to play games. However, the PRAD review mentions a lag of 2 frames (33ms) at native, 3 frames at interpolated (50ms). I'm currently using a ViewSonic VP2130B 21" S-PVA (8ms), and am happy with the way it performs. Will the input lag be comparable to this, or noticeably worse?

- Another review mentioned the overdrive is badly aligned with the panel or something. I don't know what that means, but can anyone with any experience with the 2470WNX tell me if there are any image quality or gaming problems other than those associated with PVAs?

Any other opinions on this monitor? Thanks in advance.

I got a 20wmgx2, a 245bw, and returned a LG 246WP.

The 20wmgx2 has bad overdrive as well. It's nowhere near as good as 226bw S panel overdrive in terms of visual error generation.

For doing any kind of graphics work, a VA panel is almost as bad as a TN panel imo. It's better in some ways and even worse in others.
