In the next month or so I will be looking for a new monitor to go with my new build. Was all set on a 24" Benq but might be tempted to go for something similar, only larger. I like the looks of the NEC but it gets a poor review for films and games. in an artical I read.

I would need it to have DVi (HDCP) (x2 would be better) and VGA. Component and HDMI would be nice too, although not essential.

Oh, and black. Whats with all the silver nowadays!

Thanks

the NEC 2690WUXi is aimed at colour enthusiasts and the corporate market, so that is probably why the gaming/movie performance is not great. However, im waiting to see some more reviews, or test the screen for myself before i draw too many conclusions. There's a couple of 27" models you could consider perhaps, the Dell 2707WFP is available now, and the Samsung 275T is due soon.
 
That Samsung looks interesting, sits nice and low on the stand which suits me, and has a nice range of imputs.

Will keep my eye on that.

Thanks
 
I hope that Samsung has 1:1 pixel mapping, I'll pull my hair out if it hasn't.

IMHO I think the resolution on the Dell 30" will be too much of a strain on the graphics card.
 
I want 1:1 mapping so that when I hook up sky hd the image is not distorted in any way. For me a 26-28" screen with a resolution of 1920X1200 hits the sweet spot.
