Best value monitor for editing product photographs

[oliver2601]

Hi Guys,

At work I'm currently using a basic 1600x900 Samsung LCD which is being used for editing product photographs and some graphic design, I've noticed there's a big difference between what's on my screen and others, I've calibrated the monitor using a Spyder calibrator but my monitor is still fairly inaccurate.

I've been looking at IPS panels (specifically the U2412M), and the price point of £200-£250 is about as high as we'll go.

What do you think of the U2412M, and is there any other monitors you would recommend for this purpose?

IPS or VA and close to 100% sRGB is what you need to look for. The DELL you mention is good and is 16:10 rather than 16:9, the extra hight makes a big difference when editing, however you may get a Hazro or DGM 27" in your price range if you look around - or pay a bit more for this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-070-AC&groupid=17&catid=1120
