So... It's down to one of 3 setups.

A) Dual 21" 4:3 LCD's (MVA panels)
B) 24" 16:9 TN + 21" 4:3 MVA
C) Straight 26" TN

There's a sale on the 4:3 models, a crazy good sale, but I want HD pixel mapping too...

9/15/2008 6:43:14 PM

B

[Edited on September 15, 2008 at 7:07 PM. Reason : though the 16:9 to 4:3 context switch would kill me]

^yea... the problem is I want a PVA or MVA for photo correcting work, but want a HDTV pixel for pixel for the video editing...*sigh*

Honestly i just flat out need more money so I can get that $1200 NEC IPS 26" beast

I'd save up money for something you want and would like to have. I wouldn't compromise to just a TN (or two) if you want high resolution with proper color reproduction. Check around for some used Dell monitors. I saw a few 30" dell's for 800 last month, and I was tempted to pick them up.

9/15/2008 7:17:08 PM

30" (and 28") is too freaking much for sitting like 18" away. I'd like to have one for display of the final videos, but I don't do enough video right now to warrant it.

9/15/2008 7:18:19 PM

only advice i have is don't do B.. it's annoying as shit to have two different size monitors

9/15/2008 7:19:29 PM

I had two 20" Samsungs and really liked that setup... go w/ A, assuming you can work your HD magic or whatnot w/ that

9/15/2008 7:20:58 PM

i dont have a problem with different sized monitors as long as they have the same pixel size

9/15/2008 7:30:27 PM

Fuck a monitor. Build a stage and get people to act out the internet for you. That's baller shit.

9/15/2008 7:33:35 PM

i used to have two different sized monitors, but then one of my coworkers quit and i swapped with one of his to even it out before the new guy was hired. now he has the oddball monitor

9/15/2008 7:34:52 PM

I only ride on 20"s

you should have made a tech/porn thread. much better results. trust me.

9/15/2008 8:19:40 PM

Why on earth would you get a TN? They look terrible.

Get the MVA duals, or get a nice S-IPS if you can.

ordered the single 21" & save my money for a 26" IPS.


thx all!

9/15/2008 10:32:10 PM

dual-widescreen lover myself... and a sad one that doesn't have them

9/15/2008 10:50:40 PM

^eh... I've seen this with dual 19's, but you can't get IPS panels in 19's and pixel mapped HD would mean dual 24's at least. I'd need 2 desks, and a lot more graphics than whats chillin in my ATX-mini right now.
