Hey guys,
Well im looking to get a new monitor, possibly two. The problem is, i cant decide what to get - I could get two 24" cheaper monitors, or a 26" and use my 22", or get a 27" which is a little out of my price range.
The thing is, i do alot of design work and so i want a good quality monitor and alot of the 24" monitors use TN panels. The 24" monitors i can find are:
Benq G2400WD (good reviews - even for a TN panel) - Benq G2400W - WSGFWiki
Samsung 2493HM (decent TN panel, bit more expensive though) - Samsung 2493HM - WSGFWiki
Instead I could buy a 26" TN panel, but im worried that at that size the viewing angles might become a problem. The best ones ive found are:
Samsung 2693HM - Samsung 2693HM - WSGFWiki
LG W2600H-PF - Newegg.com - LG W2600H-PF Black 25.5" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 5000:1 DCR with HDCP Support and Height Ajustment - LCD Monitors
The last option is that i get the Samsung 275T, which uses a better S-PVA panel and has great reviews. The problem with this its a bit out of my price range (although i could do it if i really wanted) and im also worried about the physical size of this thing on my desk, and next to my other 22" screen.
Samsung 275T - Samsung 275T - WSGFWiki
I have looked at the Dell monitors, but the 24" 2409WFP is basically the same price as the 275T over here which seems ridiculous, so I'm not considering it.
So what do guys think i should do? Keeping in mind this is used for both gaming and design work, and that i'm in OZ, so prices gonna be different.
Cheers.
