I wouldn't like to say what monitor is best as I don't know but I am
happy with my 'Samsung SyncMaster 753DF' I got mine from my wife last
year when I bought her an lcd monitor. This one has a flat screen
surface and give results that please me. I don't know if they are still
available new.

Well, if you were buying the same resolution on a shorter screen, I'd
agree. But why not take that 1600x1200 and add to it?
As always, the devil's in the details. Big isn't always better.
*Native* resolution is key, as are contrast ratio, pixel size, etc.
There are some gargantuan LCDs out there with maybe 1024x768 resolution
- ick!
I've been happy with a 1920x1200 24" widescreen (predecessor to this
model:
http://www.samsung.com/Products/Monitor/LCD_Digital/LS24BRBABXAA.asp).
That Apple 30" is awesome, but it takes 2 DVI video connections to drive
it. At the time, this 24" was the largest that one DVI controller could
handle.
Widescreen is very close to 2:3 ratio, which is really nice for large
photo viewing. The size also fits a lot of thumbnails, and it can be
rotated to portrait. For normal use, it holds 2+ "full-size" windows
(or one whole "sheet" of paper in portrait mode). So, there is value to
the size & width, but you need the resolution to make it really useful -
this means a lot of RAM in your video card.
Mind you, I paid more for the monitor than the computer it's attached
to. But I've learned over time that it takes 2-3 PC generations for
each evolution of screen specs, so I spent the money and got a warranty
to back it up.
Cheers,
Richard >> Stay informed about: Best Monitor for Photo Editing |

Of course that's preferable, and in keeping with what I'm saying.
Most wides don't keep the 1200 vertical spec.

Ya, no kidding! Who said anything about non-native resolution?

You are simply talking nonsense here.
I challenge you to find ANY mainstream LCD above 17" that is only 1024x768.

Photo VIEWING? Is that why you bought it???
How about photo EDITING?
The point here is that most wide format screens do not offer advantages in
terms of screen real estate and pixel count. Your 1920x1200 is not typical.

There are large-format LCDs well over 17" that would seem fantastic
until one reads the specs. Apparently these are intended for public
displays, like airport flight info screens, where size is important and
resolution is not. No, I'm not going to dig up a URL just to prove it.
And the last time I looked, it was important to view a photo to edit it.
Get a grip.
The point is... there *are* practical benefits to wide-screen displays,
but for the OP's benefit (remember him?) it's important to watch the
specs because bigger ain't always better. >> Stay informed about: Best Monitor for Photo Editing |

Dual Monitor Setup? - HI, As part of putting together my new system, as someone here suggested to me, I am looking at doing a dual monitor setup. I am planing on getting a 19inch high quality lcd. I have a 19inch crt that I though about also hooking up. One card I was....
Photoplus Editing Question - I love this software and have used it for many editing jobs, but there's so much I don't understand about it. I don't even comprehend half of the terms used (and have read the Help section often). Anyway, I'm wondering what tool or menu choice you make...
Images distorted with larger monitor - I was using a 19" monitor and Zoombrowser EX 5.5. The Slide Show showed the pictures well in the Best Fit option. Now I have a new monitor the 22" Samsung 225BW. Zoombrowser, using Best Fit option, now shows people to wide (fat) in many images...
Image manipulation & editing program - I believe that I may be ready for this now... Is it Adobe Photoshop elements 5.0 that many of you have? or would anyone recommend another program? Thanks Fred |
