I more or less accidentally wound up with a 1920x1200 (22" not 24") and a 1680x1050. The monitors are a little mismatched, but this setup works well enough for me.

You could consider a Lenovo L220x http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=27705&vpn=4433HB2&manufacture=Lenovo Btw, prices on the NCIX site I linked to are in Canadian dollars.

I think I prefer glossy in general. Some matte finishes are very noticeable and, for me, quite offensive. But others are rather unobtrusive.

I have an L220X. It isn't perfect, but is perfectly adequate for my purposes until new monitor tech becomes available. I have an NEC 20WMGX2 sitting beside it. I slightly prefer images on that S-IPS panel, but the difference isn't overwhelming. Personally I prefer it to the 24" Benq MVA I...

I have a Lenovo L220X and a NEC 20WMGX2 together - obviously much wider than a "too-wide" 24". The Lenovo has the resolution of a typical 24" so has a tighter dot pitch. Apparently you'd find the text too small on both of these monitors unless you increased text size, but for me it is fine...

Perhaps Apple will wait 'til next year and use OLED

I don't I don't know where you found your specs, but the L220x has the same resolution as 24" monitors in a smaller area, therefore has tighter dot pitch. The Prad.de review gives pixel size as 0.247, while that of a 24" monitor is 0.270. Subjectively for me the image is noticeably less...

My Lenovo isn't at all washed out looking, but I do prefer the NEC image and video quality. I hope they send back a decent one. From other posts to the forum I gather that the creeping discoloration that showed up on mine is a common problem. I should also mention that my NEC didn't handle...

It is the NEC that has the problem.

My L220x arrived Tuesday. I'm an IBM employee and got it at a discount. I'm having a busy time and can't really take time to do a good review, but I'll post a quick impression. Colors are indeed quite vivid. Sometimes the effect is pleasant, sometimes a bit odd. The matte finish on the...

I have one on order. It should arrive in the next few days and I'll try to post some feedback. There are a few review threads around already.

Take a look at the recommendations from the Anandtech forums: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=31&threadid=2049206&enterthread=y fwiw the Doublesight 263N is included among the recommended monitors for office work.

Almost all 22" monitors have TN panels. A non-TN 20" LCD will be better quality. Unless you strongly prefer the looser dot pitch of a 22" or feel you need a very fast response time for your games, I'd suggest a 20" monitor.

Clearly a TN panel based on viewing angle.

How noticeable is the anyi-glare coating on this monitor? Thanks

How obtrusive is the anti-glare coating on this monitor? Thanks

Eizo markets a number of monitors for graphics professionals, including a 22" just introduced at PMA. Here's a link to their graphics products page: http://www.eizo.com/products/graphics/index.asp Best of luck finding something you really like.

For many purposes 900 pixels vertical isn't very good.

No need to be insulting, Stereodude. I had a NEC 20WMGX2 and a Dell S-IPS side by side for a month and ended up narrowly choosing the glossy NEC, mainly because I find Dell's anti-glare coating very annoying. I'd like a larger monitor with a good panel and a glossy (or at least inoffensive)...

I think the 24" Apple iMac has a glossy screen. I'm hoping Apple releases a glossy 24" monitor, maybe in January.

The Lenovo site says it ships in 1-2 weeks. Price from Lenovo is $499.99 As an IBM employee I can get it for $399.99, plus shipping etc., and I'm somewhat tempted.

There are docks available for some models of IBM laptop that provide DVI ports.

HP 2065. There's been a panel lottery - you can find the thread - but the IPS version may be just what you want. They show up occasionally on eBay.

According to the Planar site, height is adjustable 2.22" from 15.78" to 18".

S-IPS monitors are invariably considerably more expensive than S-PVA and P-MVA monitors. The Dell is listed for $679.00, comparable to the current crop of S-PVA and P-MVA monitors. Ergo...

About 20% of people feel sick in situations where visual cues don't match vestibular (inner ear) system information. Sometimes called simulator sickness.

Is there any sensation of heat from a nearby 30" monitor? I've seen mention of that with regard to 27" monitors. Thanks

If you aren't put off by the anti-glare finish and the panel lottery, the S-IPS version of the Dell 2007wfp is about the best deal around.

It might be a good idea to wait for a month or two. The Samsung 245T and Dell 2407-HC will both probably be released soon.

The whole problem is that it is almost impossible to get a look at the Eizo or a number of other monitors without purchasing one.

There has been a lot of speculation that Apple is going to refresh the ACD line in June.

That is definitely the new Acer based on the Samsung TN panel. In the news: http://www.behardware.com/news/lire/18-05-2007/ http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/news.htm#acer_x241wd edit: Just fyi the Samsung 245B with that TN panel is available on Newegg for $539 if anyone is interested.

Someone from HP mentioned once in an interview that scalers weren't available for 30" displays so they deferred it to a future successor to their 3065. So there may be future 30" monitors with scaling, but I wouldn't count on it very immediately.

I had both NEC and Dell for a while, and in some respects liked the Dell better. For exampole, text was easier to read on the Dell. But the sometimes-visible anti-glare coating annoyed me, and I ended keeping the NEC. Matter of personal preference, seemingly some people prefer glossy, some a-g.

I had both the NEC and the Dell 2007wfp for a while. In many respects I preferred the Dell. However, I found the appearance of the anti-glare coating on the 2007wfp annoying, and eventually kept the NEC. If a sometimes-visible a-g coating doesn't bother you, I think the IPS version of the...

One of the first 24" monitors with a TN panel. Notice the 160 degree viewing angle.

Probably some of the new cheap 24" monitors showing up use the 24" TN panel, as the Samsung 245B (as opposed to 245T) will. Not true of this DoubleSight apparently though, if the 178 degree viewing angle is correct. btw, I didn't see any mention of HDCP in the NewEgg description.

Jauardis, how noticeable is the anti-glare coating on the 2490? Is it different from the one on your old Dell? The coating on many monitors bothers me. Thanks

Travbomb my 20wmgx2 has banding...the Dell was better in that regard.
