I'm about to move house and looking to get a new monitor to use in my room that would also double as a TV, and also for my Xbox, ideally around the 27-inch area. I had liked the look of the Samsung T260HD, but then read that although it's really nice, it's downside is that it's a TN based panel.
Now, I must confess that I didn't know much about TN panels and the like before looking into this. At current I have a HP w2007v, which is obviously TN, then also an IBM 17inch screen that I bought back in 2001. I'm not sure what kind of panel the later is, but it doesn't suffer from viewing angle issues, but even on maximum brightness setting, it's still very dim compared to the HP.
I use my machine mostly for video editing and compositing and a bit of grading. Although I use Photoshop, I'm not producing anything that's being printed for design work, so that issue is not super important. At my workplace, we have broadcast standard equipment, so if I do anything serious that I want to be 100% sure of colour, I can always use them to work on.
So...
Is there anything on the market that will do what I need that isn't a TN panel?
Or, am I just worrying about nothing?
The HP TN panel I have at the moment, isn't really a problem to use, the viewing angles don't cause any bother, but I had no idea that they were only 6 bit until now.
What would you do?
