IPS panel monitor for editing, any size advice please....

I was going to suggest the Asus PA238Q 23 inch for just over £200 but I see you've already bought another one.

Actually reading up, there appears to be quite a few negatives about backlight bleed on this one.

Let us know about the Dell, I might be popping over to OCUK this weekend to pick one up myself

Make sure you buy a colorimeter to you can calibrate appropriately.

scrap that i just got my dispatch note, it will be here tomorrow

@D.P. im going halves with a friend to buy a spider 4, all the reviews say it comes pretty much spot on out the box. I know it should be done once every few months so i have a little grace before i need one.

I got this early May, and I am very, very happy with it.

Please excuse my home made desk

the difference in the monitors are very noticeable! the colours are more..... substantial, and the blacks are deeper with much broader contrast.

I love the way the monitor knows what kind of program im using and dynamically changes the its colours and brightness.

Im very happy i chose to listen to you you guys

my one and ONLY gripe is the usb3.0 cable is very short, anyone know if i can buy a longer one?

I just pulled the trigger on one too!

Might pick it up tomorrow!

buzzlightweight · 25 Jun 2013 at 20:14

seriously i have been blown away! such a stark contrast between monitors!!

buzzlightweight · 25 Jun 2013 at 20:17

also the screen real estate is just colossal

dannyjo22 · 25 Jun 2013 at 21:24

What's the backlight bleed like?

mrk · 25 Jun 2013 at 21:46

U2412M and U2713HM here., both calibrate perfectly and are around 0.1 deviation between each other. 0.12cd/m2 black level and 0.2 to 0.6 for luminance. Perfect examples of accurate sRGB colours.

Enjoy!

compared to my benq its flawless, as for the monitor i except it and find it very acceptable. if that makes sense

It makes a world of difference having a decent monitor (especially when you go to print!), and it just makes your desk a nicer place to work in general. Enjoy mate

buzzlightweight · 26 Jun 2013 at 17:25

i just love the screen real estate

Genoma · 26 Jun 2013 at 22:42

got mine today - loving the monitor, looks really sharp as for bleeding I can't tell at all. Viewing angles are also really good on this - night and day against my old 24" Dell.

Very impressed.
