@ SteveCamp09
Nice overview of the Planar. I am about to get the HP LP2475w on Monday and I will post my little quick review of that one in my other thread "LCD: 24"...". We'll see how the other IPS monitor does compared to the Planar.
If the wide gamut provesw to be a problem then maybe i will need some anti-halucination pills. What is the opposite of LSD?
PVAs are fine if the "sphere of shadow" in your face doesn't bother you. I couldn't stand that the center of the screen was darker than the outer portions, it drove me insane especially in movies.
There are not alot of choices if you want a quality display without gamma shifting, IPS is all there is. You could try the Dell 2209wa which is a 22" e-IPS with 1680*1050 resolution, or wait for more e-IPS panels to emerge on the market.
I think the biggest problem with TVs is the pixel density is really low compared to PC monitors, and text ends up bieng a major issue every time. The text and detail on this HP LP2475w is far superior to the Panasonic or the other inferior TV I have tried.
You're right, the pixel density is much lower on a large TV as versus a PC monitor, but it's still a healthy 1920x1080. The only 'problem' that a low pixel density creates is that you might want to sit a little further back. Unless you absolutely can't shift back a bit, that adds utility, not inconvenience. I'm also not sure what you mean by 'text and detail', since, aside from the red issue I mentioned above, everything, including text, is perfectly sharp.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but I see no reason why this wouldn't be an excellent answer for so many of the folks that come here hoping to find a reasonable IPS screen (provided they have the space), especially considering what they get for the price.
Sorry to hear about your Planar steve. Non-uniform backlight bleed can also be a result of uneven fasteners around the edge of the panel, forcing the screen to flex or bend slightly. Certainly an issue worth immediate replacement (of course the broken D-pad too).
I have a Samsung 226cw wide gamut and though the colors are great for movies and photographs (general viewing), it presents horrible problems in working sRGB Photoshop for doing real photo editing. Even with calibration, I got mine to be O.K. but certainly not as awesome as my DS263n.
If the NEC 2490 was $800, I think they would sell a lot more of them! The HP 2475 is a strong contender. I wonder if anyone has taken a good look at the DS 263w. Keep an eye on the anandtech lcd thread and let us know what you end up getting!
Rosss - thank you for the feedback and interest, I have not yet 100% determined what to do. I am sending the Planar back to CDW for sure but I am going out of state next week on vacation so i'm going to ask them to put a credit on my account and use the time to decide what to get next. I am thinking I may have over-reacted slightly to the wide-gamut issue, simply because with the broken d-pad, I could not adjust anything else and so couldn't try any further settings (like 9300k temperature settings that JakFrost has been experimenting with his LP2475w). So I am torn, do I:
Get another PX2611w, hope the backlight bleed is less and the d-pad stronger so I can actually get the settings how I want them
Get the 2490WUXi and satisfy my strong curiosity about how good that monitor is and put up with any input lag I come across while gaming (the only issue that concerns me other than price)
Try the LP2475w and play around with the settings and save myself some $$
Decisions, decisions...one thing is for sure, I will not stop returning monitors until I am finally happy with it and CDW have a great return policy and very good service up to now.

If you have the budget to accord the NEC 2490 and you're willing to pay the extra money for the A-TW Polarizer and standard gamut display then by all means get that monitor. Forget about the input lag issue because it's bunk in my opinion.
It's bunk to a point. I've returned only one monitor in my life due to input lag, a 27" Samsung (can't recall the model number). I bought it locally from Future Shop on a whim (excellent return policy), knowing I could bring it back within 2 weeks no questions asked. I later learned it suffered between 50-60ms input lag, average. I actually felt it trying to play Modern Warfare, which is what led me to Google the numbers. There's no accounting for it. Individuals subjected to identical input lag will notice it more or less, dependent on the person. If there's any input lag on my HP, I sure as hell don't feel it.
