Hey Everybody,
About a year ago I searched and searched for the perfect monitor and ended up settling on the 26" Planar PX2611. What a mistake! The wide gamut is a huge problem for me. Also, the pixel density is too low, and everything looks a little bit grainy/sparkly (the anti-glare coating?). The low input lag is nice, though, and I'm considering trying to set it up with my xBox360.
I'm now looking for something to replace it. I would like:
It seems my options are still rather limited... I am considering
I am hesitant to buy a used LCD, but I am thinking that a used 23" ACD is my best bet, short of dropping $1k on the NEC. Also, I am a tiny bit concerned about input lag on the NEC, although I believe it isn't very noticeable? What are your thoughts? I appreciate any input!

I'm now looking for something to replace it. I would like:
- 1920x1200 resolution (or higher)
- IPS panel
- Standard gamut
- Matte finish
- No input lag
- High pixel density - the closer to my 15" MBP's 110 PPI, the better
It seems my options are still rather limited... I am considering
- NEC 2490 - $1000
- Used 23" Apple Cinema Display - ?
- Is there anything else?
