32" 1080p LCD TV for photo editing???

D.P. · 19 Sep 2009 at 10:18

As title, I use an old 19" IIyama CRT which I need to replace. Also thinking of buying a large screen as apart form photo editing I mainly just watch movies (or internet) on this PC. Anyone used a cheap 32" LCD for photo editing?

Any major issues in colour, calibration, contrast, sharpness, pixel-pitch??
Thinking of an LG/Philips/Samsung etc.

I use my LG 32" 5700 (1080p) and nobody has complained about photos I have posted being completely off so it must be ok

I think most monitors are generally close, I will do a report back later on the difference between stock and calibrated is

Panasonic's tend to have the best panels

I don't see why not, just make sure you turn all the "auto-contrast" type functions off

Thanks for the advice.
Just bumping this up before I click to buy.

www.prad.de always used to be an excellent place for technical reviews of screens. Long story short, any "reasonable" screen can be made excellent if you're willing to spend the time calibrating it.
