Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / June 2006which widescreen TFT?
I feel the urge coming up to finally buy a new screen. Currently I have an 19" CRT but it's getting a little old and small and ... well you know, ... wouldn't it be great to have a bright, fast, cool 20" or higher widescreen TFT ? Especially now, when this stuff is more or less affordable? So, before i'm gonna do something stupid, i'd like to know which screens photographers are using? Or which screen you're going to buy in the near future? What brand? Which size? Contrast ratio? Brightness? Response time? One big one or two smaller screens? Thanks in advance for the help everyone! Kris http://photoblog.krisvdv.net Have a look at the 20" ws and 24" ws Dell Ultrasharp TFTs.... http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productlisting.aspx?c=us&cat=snp&category_id= 6198&cs=19&l=en&mnf=694&Page=productlisting.aspx http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_UltraSharp_2405FPW/4505-3174_7-31335738-2.html?tag=nav http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1774271,00.asp http://www.creativemac.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=33448 I have the 20" widescreen (1680 x1050) and find it superb for pretty much everything - general use, photo work, DVDs etc... HD looks fantastic too. Can't think of anything bad to say about it - do shop around for best prices. Highly recommended... as is the 24" Guy >I feel the urge coming up to finally buy a new screen.

All are capable of exceeding what you'll turn it down to when you profile it, so irrelivant > Response time? Irrelivant One big one or two smaller screens? Or 1 big, 1 small - works well. Most critical issue is viewing angle - or more specifically how things change at different angles - biggest downfall of LCD monitors. We are using dual 24.1inch Sun wide screens with Parhelia cards at the moment, seem to be pretty good. >I feel the urge coming up to finally buy a new screen.
