So I'm living south of the border, Mexico, and I've been doing Photoshop/Illustrator work on my laptop for the last year. I do a lot of labels for fresh/frozen foods and some website work as well, along with other graphics type work. I'm thinking it's about time I get a color accurate monitor though, as the colors on my Gateway FX laptop obviously aren't very good for this work.
Unfortunately, I probably don't have much options of buying in the States, since it's a hassle to bring it down and I nor much of my family or friends are going back anytime soon, so that leaves me with few options. Dell does have basically all of their screens available for sale here though.
So I'm thinking I'll probably need to get a Dell, since there just isn't a huge selection of GOOD monitors available here. Definitely not locally. So what would you guys suggest for this?
I'm open to any price range, as the company will probably take care most of it, but I'm going to have it hooked up to my laptop which has HDMI out and VGA. I figure worst case scenario there is only DVI in and I can use an HDMI to DVI cable.
I'm thinking of the new Dell 2209WA. I should read through the big thread here but haven't had time. Seems like a good budget monitor though. I would love to get, say the 3007, but that's probably too pricey, and I don't think my HDMI out can handle the resolution. Don't know if it's been tested though.
So, suggestions?
