    LCD for photos

    Hi,

    I'm gonna need to buy a new monitor soon, so I was wondering if someone could give me suggestions for LCD monitors that have good color authenticity, reasonable size and price. I don't know if there are some other criteria that I should observe so if I omitted something, please educate me a bit

    Thanks

    Pavel

    If you want something cheap, look for the Dell 2209WA.
    It's an E-IPS panel.

    I just got the Dell ST2410 and love it so far.

    Color authenticity will probably depend more on your color management than the quality of the lcd.

    I've heard good things about the Dell monitors, but have no personal experience with them. Personally, I really like Samsung monitors. Also Apple monitors (which are often made by Samsung), but they're too expensive for me.

    +1 for the 2209WA Dell monitor. Best bang for the buck E-IPS Monitor out there.

    At work I use a Samsung 305t. 30" baby! Nice colors, and I would say its fairly accurate.

    At home I have been plugging my laptop (Dell 1530 w/ LED monitor) into my 40" Sony 4100W 1080p television. Great colors on that one and they printed pretty accurately despite the lack of a color profile for my Canon printer (stupid Vista incompatibility). Printing in sRGB came out pretty good.

    I've used some good Dells, a excellent BenQ, and a shitty viewsonic among others.

    Dells are awesome if you go for the higher ends, BenQs are my favorites though.

    samsung

    i recommended sumsung f -seris,dell 2007wfp,or samsung a32r71b
    let me the features one of them.
    Four(4) - SAMSUNG Samsung 2494SW 24-inch Widescreen LCD Displays:
    it features 1080p Full HD resolution for sharp, smooth motion video and also includes MagicBright technology which automatically optimizes brightness, contrast and gamma correction, based on the mode you choose. Additionally, with an amazing dynamic contrast ratio of 50,000:1 youll enjoy sharper image quality thats sure to catch your eye...
    that may be a good monitor to meet your needs in color auth....

    that is the newest price for ur reference .

    The big difference is in backlighting - the current move is to LED backlighting for smoother color and contrast. The other advantage is color gamut (or accuracy). LED backlit LCD monitors will give you more accurate color.

    Thanks for the tips.

    James, thanks for bringing this to my attention. Do you have some specific LED backlit LCDs in mind?
