Hello all. I have been reading many many posts here the past few days. I am trying to find the best NEC Monitor I can purchase for under or around $1,000.00(US). I want an IPS display but dont know which to choose.. I have been looking at the following...
NEC MultiSync LCD2490WUXi
NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi
The Double Sight DS-265W also caught my eye, but seems to have mixed reviews.
I dont really care about added features. Im a pro photographer and just need it for the best color representation I can find, for my editing. I will also be using it for a movie every once in awhile.
Ive also read here and elsewhere that the NEC 20WGX2 is still regarded as the best monitor in its class. Would that still be worth getting now? Id like to get something from 20" to 26" in WS. I do like the idea of having the option of tilting to portrait mode but its not a deal breaker.
Am I asking too much to find all of this for under a grand? What would you all suggest? This will be my first "pro" monitor as I have been using a crappy Dell dekstop monitor for the past 4-5 years, which has finally crapped out on me. So this is all a bit overwhelming.
A friend of mine suggested I look at the BenQ FP241W but I cant seem to find a respected online dealer to purchase it. Plus, Id like to stick with NEC, dont ask me why, it just seems they seem to be one of the best brands.
Please, any suggestions on a great IPS Display will be very much appreciated! I apologize if this is a pretty basic question amongst "noobs" but I really am kinda lost here and dont want to throw down this kind of money and now know what I am getting!
Thank you so much!
