20" or 26" Widescreen?

I wasn’t really looking that close, I may go by the store this weekend, if I do I look closer. I think most of the monitors they had were in the 17"-20" range.

Thanks for the explanation dapeter, the 244T has a response time of 8ms according to the specs, I don’t know whether that’s good or not though. I don’t get mouse trails no matter how quickly I move the mouse though.

ok, and what about input lag. I read that it’s huge.

I’ve got two 8ms LCDs (one Dell and one Acer) and don’t notice any lag/latency whatsoever when playing games (no ghosting.)

As for colors, when I stack my Dell next to the 19" NEC CRT or my other 19" Viewsonic, the Dell blows them both away. I couldn’t believe I was sending my clients images processed through either one of the CRTs - there’s that much of a difference. The other thing is pure vibrancy - I can’t get my CRT to come close to what the LCD can produce. Another thing is footprint - you’ll have a lot more space to work on your desk. Last but not least is that the Dells have an adjustable height stand - alot of LCDs only have rotation.

One of my finicky clients even stopped bugging me about color issues. Perhaps he was viewing my stuff on a laptop.

The only problem I can see is with what rdg has to say - viewing angle is bad if someone is sitting at a 45 degree angle. Then again, clients have never been to my house.

i can simply do anything with that monitor. Play games, watch movies, everithing is nice and crisp.

I must admit i had a little problem in¨stalling the monitor under win64bit

i do not know what caused the crashes of MagicColor, but everything works fine now when i reinstalled everything from scratch.

Go for Samsung 244T mate…if u wont like it ill buy it from u with a small discout of course :))))))

by the way lukx…26inch at 1900x1200 as u said…must have a massive dot…that wont be too nice for you renders :wink:

yep, this was also my concern. This NEC 26" will have 0.287. NEC 20" have 0,255. I’m thinking that with 26" LCD is like with 19" that you got nothing more that bigger pixel. So I guess 24" to 26" will be like 17" to 19" with 17" and 24" you will get better quality image and the same work area.

thats for sure :slight_smile:
really i find widescreen 24inch absolutelly optimal and i dont need second monitor at all…it saves me loads of time panning and zooming when modelling and also compositing scene and setting camera is much clearer now. For me it was the best buy i have made in years :slight_smile:
