I would guess the that answer to that is not much difference.

Is there any noticeable difference with regard to text quality on the PX2611W vs the NEC 2690? I've narrowed down my choices to these two monitors, and it seems like the Planar would be a better choice (although it seems to be out of stock everywhere at the moment) since it's less expensive and better suited for gaming, but I do a considerable amount of reading at the computer, so text quality/easiness on the eyes is a big issue for me.
So, I've been rockin the PX26 for a few weeks and love it! Now, is there a way to connect an Xbox360 to it and play at 1080p? I know the monitor does 1900x1280. Will that Microsoft VGA HD connector work?

One unfortunate note: There is undesirable color banding at 'real' (1 to 1) mode at 1080p and 1080i (1920x1080). This applies to devices like a PS3 or cable boxes or any device that sends a 1080p or 1080i "high definition" signal to the display. The banding is not visible in movies but it is in games. The banding disappears in 'full' aspect mode. This means that you might notice some quality loss at 1 to 1 in those modes. If you use 'full' aspect mode, the image will be stretched vertically some but have no banding. These modes are the only ones where I noticed the banding. Native 1920x1200 doesn't have that banding nor does any other resolution I tested. Planar could perhaps release a firmware update to fix the 1080p/1080i color banding if enough people complain. To be as clear as possible: the color banding does not happen with PC's or Macs at 1920x1200 at 32bit color when DV mode is at the default TEXT mode even if you are playing a movie or game.
Who has the best return policy on this panel? Just in case, lol
Has anyone else noticed this monitor tends to wake from sleep on its own momentarily, show a dialog box about a missing video signal, then go back to sleep?
Mine has been doing this lately. I dont think its the computer/video card because the secondary monitor connected to the same video card does not have this issue.
Also, for those asking earlier this year; I've been using my 360 with the HD VGA cable and the picture looks great at 1080p.
i dont use sleep, just power off screen after 20min..takes some time to come out though.
cold boot takes awhile for screen to post.
Very good. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out
what do you thing about yours?
Very nice so far; my nitpicking about the 'D' pad aside. Downloaded those profiles and am using the custom one now. Noticed a pinkish tint on the toolbar and some windows, but my photos look fine....I'll try the other profiles later.
what toolbar has that tint?
how did you load it, via that program?

can anyone confirm how many DVI inputs are on this monitor? from what i've read it seems as if there is only one DVI input... however, looking at their specs on their website, they mention two DVI inputs and they include HDMI-DVI cable.. can anyone confirm?

i'm thinking about picking up one of these units...
Rob,
You are correct on that. It has both DVI-D, as well as DVI-I.
If you need anymore information, please don't hesitate to ask!
