Hey guys,
I'm thinking of purchasing a new 24" WS LCD and was wondering if anyone could offer their advice for my needs. I'm looking to replace my first gen 20" WS monitor, the Dell 2005FPW. It's an old, 2005 S-IPS panel with poor ghosting (~12-16ms response), and horrible color accuracy (reds and greens are virtually neon).
I've done some initial research and have a good idea of what I want, but I think the costs are prohibitive. A cheaper alternative to the HP LP2475W would be ideal. That, or a mid/high-end TN.
Budget: < $400 (after coupons, rebates, sales, w/e included)
Priorities:
1 & 2) Tie/Toss-up between color accuracy and response time. Response time has a slight edge due to budget concerns and the fact that color accuracy in TNs, I would assume, is much better nowadays than my 3 year old Dell.
3) Would strongly prefer if it has HDMI.
4) A built-in HD tuner (like the Samsung T260HD) would be a really nice touch!!
I realize it might seem to be asking for much, however, I'm always in the hunt for some great Live cashback deals (like today's infamous HP 40% cashback failure) that would bring the costs sub-$400. S-IPS or S-PVA/MVA strongly preferred, but if it's cost prohibited, a mid/high-end TN would be okay. Any and all feedback welcome!
