Title: Which monitor > 24" ?
Post by: uxbod on Jun 10, 2008, 16:34:12
Any of you with a monitor > 24" ? What make ? Colour quality ? Refresh ? etc ...

Looking for a decent monitor for home but coming from dual 20" I do like lots of screen space :)

I think Lona has a 24" Samsung, and I am sure there will be others.  :)

I use an Eizo 2410W (superseded). It's by far the best monitor I have ever owned, but at a price, you;d be looking at £900 or so.

I've had a Samsung Synchmaster 226BW for several months now, I'm very pleased with it.

Here's where I got mine.  I've had it since November and it's been great. I paid over £300 for it at the time.

You don't know what you're missing, Baz. This monitor is pure silk, easy on the eye but, when calibrated, as accurate as you could wish for, what I see is what I print.

I have a Samsung 226BW as well. It is the best screen I have ever had...  :thumb:
