Ive recently got a 27" Dell Ultrasharp 2711, its E-IPS and a markable improvement over and TN screen ive ever had. Cost me about £600+ but worth it if you are going to do artwork. Like EQ says The colour shifting you see on TN screens will be a constant bane :) Just so you know, the 27" Dell cant go portrate like the…
Refresh rates and contrast ratios are generally worthless information. What you want to know is the panel type, and color accuracy(gamut). Inexpensive monitors like this use TN panels, which are cheap, have fast refresh rates but have poor color accuracy and poor viewing angles - generally bad for art work. If you're…
EQ is right. You can't rely on contrast ratios. They typically misrepresent them or flat out lie to make them look impressive. So just decide what kind of panel you want and then it's just a matter of what features you want besides that. Personally, I would never get a 27" LCD. For that price, I'd rather have two 23" or…

This one has a better refresh rate and…
I have the Dell E-IPS monitors at home and at work. The 22 inch (1680x1050) at home and the 24 inch (1920x1200) at work. They're great as EQ said. Great colour. Definitely go for the IPS or E-IPS technology. Sitting as close to my monitor as I do 22 inch has always seemed fine to me. Everyone around me at work has 27 inch…
