Talk to me about Monitors

[TheTimeChamber]

Can someone recommend me a good monitor for editting photos. I am looking for something that is 24 inches and won't blow the bank.

Ta.

Cheers, this was one I had a look at earlier...

Dell Ultrasharp U2414H IPS LED Full HD Monitor, that's the one I use Nick, can't complain for the money, good monitor.

 

[TheTimeChamber]

excellent, thanks!

 

[Hertsman]

I quite fancy one of these to repleace my aging 17" Dell flat screen.

A worthy replacement ?

 

[miker]

I'd say so, I have the U2412M, fantastic piece of kit. Also, why replace? Just run both! (my second screen is funnily enough, an old dell 17"!)

 

[ancient_mariner]

That would be OK, but if you can, buy something of higher resolution that HD. The U2412M Miker recommended is 1980:1200, and the extra height makes far more difference than you would think. If you can afford it then look for a 27" monitor at 2700:1440.

Think you'll find that's 2560x1440

Yes - I couldn't remember the resolution exactly and wasn't interested enough to look it up.

 

[arad85]

You're welcome

The U2412M Miker recommended is 1980:1200quote]

That's 1920x1200

 

[arad85]

That's 1920x1200

Damnit... missed that... grrr

The U 2414H is a great screen, but if you can stretch to the 2413H you get wider gamut and 16:10. Costs more though. Either U2414H or U2314H would be great choices though.

There's always next time.

Or have a look at this one

 

[arad85]

There's always next time.

I'll be watching...

Ok, so my onboard GRFX card will only run 1280x1074 and I want the Dell U2414H , so any recommendations for a cheap card that will make the most of the display ?

Nvidia 610 passive. Assuming you have a PCI-e slot available that is.... £25-£30 will do you fine

 

[Hertsman]

Can anyone give me the actual physical sizes of the Dell U2414H? Cant find them on the net.

 

[Hertsman]

Scratch that, just found them.

 

[Hertsman]

After many hours of surfing the net, Ive decided to go for the U2412M and enjoy 16:10 vs 16:9.

 

[miker]

It's a good monitor, I'm sure you'll be pleased

 

[deprivedofsleep]

Good choice, surprising how much more real estate 16:10 grants you.

 

[pjm1]

Hertsman: that's what I've just upgraded to as well and I'm delighted. It's a decent sized screen and a pleasure to use. Let us know how you find it.

 

[Hertsman]

Very very pleased with my new monitor......
