[aftershxck]

mrk, do you have a link to that picture of the girl lying down looking at the screen. ?

 

[williamd]

There are pictures dotted around just do a search!

Given the slight shade differences shooting a monitor with a digital camera Pretty accurate as a basic comparison eh

what size screen is this?

can anyone tell me about the stand adjustability.

 

[williamd]

can someone explain to me what's going on in that photo where the girls face is visible in every window

IT's the 24" HZ24WB (b for black), only forwards/backwards tilt on the screen (as with Apple Cinema Displays). Hazro sell a mounting bracket that attaches to the back and then gives you standard 100mm vesa holes so that you can get an aftermarket stand with more adjustment if you need it.

I've never seen the point of swivel TBH, it always looks wierd to my eyes - must be sensing the change in orientation of the sub-pixels!

 

[williamd]

Yeah I dont need swivel but I am a bit concerned about the up/down tilt.

From the photos, it looks like it cannot be tilted downwards beyond a 90 degree angle, so basically not at all. I would like to be able to tilt it down as well as up.

Can you confirm this?

 

[b0rn2sk8]

you can tilt the screen back plenty, but not forward much at all.

 

[williamd]

Would attaching a new stand allow for forward tilt?

 

[williamd]

I don't know anything about gamut.

Does the 26 inch having 92% compared to the 72% on the 24 inch mean that the 26 inch screen is better?

 

[williamd]

I'm after the 24" Hazro as I don't want to deal with the wide gamut issues for now but it looks like the focus is moving more towards 26" which is wide gamut.

What do you mean, "issues"?

 

[Mick-1965]

What do you mean, "issues"?

In brief
Lets start by saying 72% is the "norm", sRGB as its also known and just about everything in the "norm" uses sRGB. from the internet to gaming.

The issues are mainly that when working on the net, playing games, anything specifically not designed for a 92% gamut display will look blown out and over saturated especially the greens and reds.

these issues can be calibrated away....almost

 

[williamd]

Ok it looks like I want the 24 inch then. Shame really as I wanted a 26 inch display but not if everythings going to look red.

 

[williamd]

I don't really understand why if the colours aren't used in standard things such as webpages and games, then why do they make a difference to a 92% screen. Why don't they just ensure only 72% colours are used and that way any colours that the 92% could show won't be there any way.

Because it's a bit more complex than that! To be able to map the 72% onto the 92% that the monitor can display the application (or operating system) needs to be "colour aware". Firefox 3 is (if you enable it manually), IE isn't. Certain apps are, and certain aren't.

Don't bother getting a high-gamut screen unless you actually need one: Photography pros whos primary medium isn't the web, pre-press and a few others are the only people that actually need high-gamut (and can therefore justify the expense of purchasing a calibration system along with their monitor).

 

[benjo plz.]

Don't bother getting a high-gamut screen unless you actually need one:

except that it's s-ips for less than most a-mva/s-pva panels, seems like a good reason for one to me?

 

[philjohn]

In that case go for it, but be prepared to shell out for a calibration unit such as the pantone huey.

but out of the box va or tn units aren't calibrated either . It's a shame OcUK doesn't do Planar monitors, they're h-ips, and they cost less than the Hazros .
