With a 20% coupon it would be interesting if its comparable to the HP. Wonder what kind of IPS it is? The HP is pretty well proven H-IPS and you can get it now for $517 shipped, no tax which is about the same as the Dell after tax if they offer free shipping.

- try it now!! yawn
id buy it through our company's program with Dell. it would probably come out close to the 20% coupon's price.
ive never been a fan of HP's LCD's, but i havent honestly done a comparison of their new stuff.
im really hoping to win one of our 32" sets so i wont have to something else.
its a pretty cheaply priced panel

Most of these high end monitors from HP, Apple, Dell, NEC to all have various LG IPS panels. Dell is more infamous than HP for panel lotteries.
is it LG that makes their panels? id guess it would be a toss up b/w LG, Sharp, AOS ( or whatever its called)
if had both Dell and HP monitors and just had better luck with Dell...i guess its just brand loyalty for all the years ive had em
Its easier to deal with Dell than HP for support and return policy. On the low-end stuff I'd take Dell (or for smaller corporate environment). I've personally owned two high-end HP monitors, 5 Dells of various price levels, and 1 high-end Gateway.
Brand loyalty on Dell monitors is silly since they often do revisions and swap panels on the same model, they are notorious for it though at least its no problem to exchange it for another or sometimes they'll even give you a full refund many months after you bought it for very minor issues inherent to the LCD technology
Used teh google:

swapping panels in LCD's is nothing new.....unless they do it mid-year without a model revision.
ive liked their panels because of aesthetics, price, image quality and build quality.
im sure if something came around that caught my eye, id buy that too tho

That is exactly what they have done hence its been nicknamed a lottery. Posted the LG panels in the high-end 24" displays above.
well thats just douchey and wrong...possibly illegal
Going to get my wife a new/used G5 in a bit and will need to get a monitor to go with it. The new 24" HD Cinema display can be had for $599 refurbished. I'm not set that we have to have an Apple monitor...thoughts?
their 24" LED Cinema display?
they dont give too much info on the type of LED lighting it uses, but most LED panels are great looking

Most computer LED panels (especially notebook LED displays) only do about 70% gamut - bright and lower power but not great otherwise. Even the Apple panel (which sucks ass since its glossy):
If she isn't concerned about viewing angles, gamut, etc you could just get a cheap TN or a mid-range VA paneled monitor.Digital Arts said:
Don't care about viewing angle. #1 concern is color accuracy for her.
Definitely not, buy the HP mail order or the Dell direct w/a 20% coupon if you want a high-end monitor if you are real picky otherwise you can get away with a 22" TN panel LCD monitor like the Acer splat mentioned or the one Stinkyboy has.
You'll have to be more specific, what is she using it for would help.
thats good to know.
id kinda figured they would have used Samsung or LG's panels since there are only a handful LED panel makers.
that quote basically said if its not Scottish, its crap!
Photography and design work that is sent to multiple print shops.
youre gonna wanna get a panel that can show as much of the RGB scale as possble then
It seems there isn't as much technological push in LCD monitor as there are in LCD HDTVs right now of course the market is large/more competitive for TVs. Wonder how long it will take for OLED monitors since it seems larger TVs are on their way already.
Yeah the Dell w/the 20% coupon ($480 + tax, not sure about shipping) otherwise the HP from costcentral.com for $517 delivered - both have excellent LG IPS panels.
OLED's are still stupid expensive to produce. i think the biggest model shown was a 15" and theres only one tv on the market, the Sony 11"
youll see more concepts at CES next year since nothing was shown at CEDIA last week.
i have seen a 32" OLED, but we wont bring that to market for several years
If $$ is no option... Wacom Cintiq 21UX.
Well they are always coming up with new stuff:

SEDs were supposedly going to be cheap to mass produce too but I guess the battle in the courts screwed up the momentum for that technology

flexible OLED screens will come of age, but not for some time...at least to mass produce.Well they are always coming up with new stuff:

there have been small runs of E-Ink ads in magazines, but nothing widesrpead
the SED i saw at CES 4-5 years ago was the bees knees for sure. both parties decided to battle it out and court and basically forget about he technology all together
yeah..many, many, many, many years. theres no way theyll pull this off by themselves. they needed Toshiba
Yeah and it would have been huge if Sony didn't quit either...
i was bout to comment on your first post there...patents dont mean anything. for Canon to break into the consumer market at this time of our industry, is stupid. Pro products is one thing, the consumer world is cut throat.
i didnt know Sony was part of it. if they were, it only makes sense after they invested billions into their new panel plants
well until a new technology comes into play, ill stick with the newer LED's. my buddy just got a Samsung LED and i should be getting one soon from Haier (my father's company)
I never knew those companies made those giant roadside LED displays
Local-dimming or edge lit LCD HDTV?I've watched the benchmark 1080p 56" HP DLP HDTV for while, its pretty great but I'm one of the few people that can see the rainbows...
they are coming out with both edge lit and local dimming sets.I never knew those companies made those giant roadside LED displays

i have always seen the rainbow effect with DLP's. i have never been a fan of them except for a 3chip FPJ which are a lot of money.
i had a choice to get a sample Mitsu DLP we had in the office for demo purposes or one of our LCoS sets.
it was a no brainer. i bought it to watch the Bears lose the SuperBowl
But you are going to pick up one of those full color LED billboards though
Well back in 2005/early 2006 when the MD5880n was bought, nothing in the price range was comparable. The other DLP and LCoS displays I demo'd weren't as good. They tested out well in various mags too:

no, no billboards for me. i watch enough tv and having a billboard would just be too awesomeBut you are going to pick up one of those full color LED billboards though

yeah, back in 2005/2006, our LCoS technology isnt what it is today or was two years ago. our tv's were over bright and the colors were over saturated.
i still wish we made rear projection LCoS sets, but wer are only focusing on our awesome FPJ's.
