I'm an advertising major and gamer who works in the tech industry and I need a great monitor.
I'm currently using a Dell 2007WFP, which is fine, but the resolution is kind of low for me to use with excel spreadsheets side-by-side or powerpoint. The color reproduction is decent but the monitor itself seems kind of lacking in brightness.
I got a Dell Studio XPS 16" from work, the screen is fantastic, RGB LED backlight, 1920x1080 resolution on a 16" screen, not sure what kind of panel it is, but it looks great from head-on. Kind of crappy from the sides and angles, though.
So what I am looking for is this:
Something with much better than 1680x1050 resolution (1920x1080 isn't that much more noticeable, 1920x1200 is better, but I really like the new 23" LCDs with 2048x1152 resolution. However, I dislike their color accuracy (at least the samsung I saw at Fry's) and the fact that they're CFL backlit.
So ideally what I want is (in order)
-Good color reproduction (IPS or PVA?)
-Low input-lag (for gaming)
-LED backlit (or RGB LED backlit)
-High resolution (above 1920 preferrably)
-Under $700 US
Is there anything like this?
I like the Dell U2410 but it's still CFL backlit.
I like the Dell G2410 but it's a TN panel.
I also like the looks of some of the Samsung and NEC monitors, but don't know where to start.
What's the right answer here? Can anybody help me out?
