Re: Buying a New Monitor For Graphic Design
If I don't get a second,third, whatever, opinion on this I'll basically be reduced to flipping a coin. :poly122: None of you guys have a strong feeling one way or the other about any of these brands? I've never used a Dell or a Hans-G. Asus looks great, but the fact is that I'm buying another monitor because MY Asus gave… -
Re: Buying a New Monitor For Graphic Design
Thanks for that - it was the final push to move me off of that Hanns-G that I wanted. Even though it is disappointing in a way I will give up on the 27.5 inches =( and do the proper thing and purchase an IPS monitor. It's the right thing to do I now believe. Therefore atm, it is between the DELL and this ASUS - they are… -
Buying a New Monitor For Graphic Design
What do you suggest, I don't want to go much over $250-ish Basically I just want it to be able to display the truest colors possible. Any advice? -
Re: Buying a New Monitor For Graphic Design
Bit depth, color gamut, viewing angles, generally better on your eyes(less eye strain), there are a lot of reasons to get a better-than-tn-panel. To the Op re; viewing angles: Yes viewing angles are still important, on low end(tn) monitors a shift in your chair one or two inches can cause changes in color/contrast etc, and… -
Re: Buying a New Monitor For Graphic Design
The reason you want an IPS over a common TN panel is bit depth. You really want a panel that produces 8 bit color, which is 16.7 million colors. TN panels only produce 6 bits, which is 256K colors. TN panels will dither images to simulate certain colors and can have a lot of color banding in gradients. That's not something… -

How important is IPS if I'm going to be sitting in the same spot while using it? What sort of contrast ratio should I go for the $300 price range? What brightness? thanks Do these specs look any good for graphic design or is it more of a gamer model?: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254052 -
Re: Buying a New Monitor For Graphic Design
Hello, thanks for the help guys. Ultimately I decided against the 24.1" ASUS and instead got the 23" because it was nearly just as good quality for roughly 40% less money *bad math warning* ($340 vs $190) Anyway they both get pretty good reviews and I have to say the colors are amazing. This is my first IPS and I never… -
Re: Buying a New Monitor For Graphic Design
ASUS makes good stuff as well, but I have no first-hand experience with that monitor so I can't make any sort of recommendation. Specs look good, though. I wouldn't worry about Dell as their mid-higher end monitors have always been good purchases. They seem to be one of the few companies pushing better panels in the past… -
Re: Buying a New Monitor For Graphic Design
Out of those, buy the dell. IPS(or any of the other quality panel types) is still important even if you're sitting in one spot. Just do a search and listen to whatever Earthquake has said on the matter.
