How long until a good 24 or 26 inch monitor is released?

Getting tired of waiting.

Pilky01 · 9 Nov 2008 at 10:56

There have been plenty

Baddass · 9 Nov 2008 at 11:29

yeah thats a bit of a sweeping statement! plenty of good models out there

Ok. Can someone locate this monitor for me:

24 or 26 inch
Excellent viewing angles
Brilliant for watching videos / HD content
No noticeable lag
No ghosting
Good for games
Adjustable stand - tilt and height
Not wide gamut
No banding issues
Good customer support
Looks excellent out of the box or with a few settings tweaked (No need for calibration)

Thanks

The Hazro HZ24Wi?

7.5ms input lag (same as most TN panels), IPS-panel, good customer support.

Dont ask for much do you? You sound like the kind of person who wont be happy with any monitor.

olv · 9 Nov 2008 at 13:23

i think you need a CRT

Dell 2407 ticks all those boxes.

Now see what your after is a prefect monitor, not a good monitor.

I have the same emotional issues as William

Even I came to the conclusion there is no perfect 24", I might just go with the HP 24" IPS panel.....Or even the Sammy 24" TN Panel.

Apart from terrible input lag... (46ms according to tftcentral)

williamd · 9 Nov 2008 at 15:53

I was briefly tempted by the HP but I hate how it looks.

I think the Hazro 26 might be the one to go for. Wait and see what happens with the updates.

Your 6 or so years too late.

Sony CPD-FW900 24" Widescreen CRT.

Maybe the Hyundai W240D-PVA. Anyone else think this is better than the Hazro?

Flying Gribble · 9 Nov 2008 at 16:05

My NEC ticks all of those boxes - unless by 'tilt' you mean Portrait/Landscape.

I was gonna consider the Hyundai PVA but apparently suffers from ghosting, I dont think we got any decent PVA screens out there well not ones with more issues anyhow.

The Hazro/HPs are top of the game still, but am very weary of spending £400-450 on a screen a £200-300 is a good price on a 24" imo but that means going TN.

I've got a 22" Samsung that looks crystal sharp compared to my 'DGM' 24", but I use the 24" the most, I like the resolution, I'm not prepared to fork out much more for a top end 24", the cheap end 24"'s are perfectly fine for what they are.

Eizo FlexScan FlexScan HD2442W.

It has a price tag to match, but after using the one at a family friend's photography setup; just wow.

ah, you're one of those people looking for the perfect monitor, and i dont think you will find one which fits all of those requirements. The NEC 2490WUXi is a possibility but wont be easy to find over here in the UK. The HP LP2475W is possibility but is wide gamut (i assume you have a specific need for a non-wide gamut display?)....

The BenQ FP241W is meant to be top if money's no object.
