I am ready to remove the 100 lb CRT screen from my desk, but after a fair bit of reading I realize that it will not be trivial to get good performance for my 2 main computer activities, Photoshop on dSLR images and gaming/browsing/general usage. I would like a 24" screen. I know that an IPS panel is what I need for photo editing, but I can't afford the 1 monitor that seems to offer an IPS sRGB panel (NEC 2490). I'm not interested in monkeying around with the wide gamut panels that are starting to show up, it looks like people can't get decent colors with both Photoshop and the rest of their apps. So, what about the idea of getting a 24" TN panel for my routine usage and an older 19" IPS to display photos being edited? I have a 8800GT with 2 outputs, I figure the 19" would only get used when editing photos. Does anyone have a similar setup? Anything to watch out for, or suggestions for affordable 19" IPS monitors?
Thanks!
