Up Early and looking at the Monitors again! LP2275 appears to have gone or there are none around I can find? Your right about the PVA screens too Stefan, they are very thin on the ground! Just found out also that the Dell U2311 doesn't support Adobe RGB either? So it looks like a three horse race between the Asus 24" Pro Art, the Dell U2410 and the HP LP2475W.Any more 22-25" ones that anyone can think of? I will be mostly printing my own work but do have Labs print occasionally, which gives me the other conundrum of wether to bother with Adobe RGB at all, because if I Print for clients myself there will then be no consistancy with Prints done by my "Pet Lab"? Or maybe I just have to bite the bullet and Print em all myself...

IPS is always good.
What you might want to look at as well is that you get a matt screen and how good you can set the settings of the monitor.
The ASUS one looks good and it has a 12bit LUT (Look Up Table) as well but the panel is 10bit so colour wise should be good.
You can also look at what HP as to offer, these for example.

ZR24W Doesn't support Adobe RGB, there's always a reason why the price looks so good eh?IPS is always good.

[quote:3496ace15f="Anvh"]If ur curious about the ASUS display, the NEC 241 has the same screen (LG 10bit IPS) but has a 14lut hardware in it, just look at the price of that one....
Would love a colormunki too but it's out of budget, if I buy the Asus screen which is the one I want then so is the Xrite as well! That will leave me back with the old Mk1 Eyeball, as far as calibration goes but it may be worth it!

Thanks Stefan will look at the HP displays too!
Cheers Arto this is just the sort of info I need, I actually have a Spyder 2 and was going to upgrade to a Spyder 3 but I'll have a look at the Eye One kit now.

For all colour management Guru's!
Currently I have a Dell ultrasharp 2208 (TN?)Five years old now and I am struggling to get the colour accuracy I want.
Thinkin of this one
ASUS PA246Q 24.1-inch Proart LCD Monitor - Black (P-IPS)
http://uk.asus.com/Display/LCD_Monitors/PA246Q/
But it's £400+, not expensive for 98% of Adobe RGB, I have to count the pennies though...
So I'm also tempted by the Dell U2311H (H-IPS)
£200
http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&sku=4212...
My Question is this, since I calibrate with a Spyder 3 anyway will I see an awful lot of difference between the two?
In the end if the Asus is that much better I will go with that but...

Devils Advocate, 300 which from memory isn't that much bigger really and because you'll sometime want that extra little bit of space. I've been there with loads of bags that I end up flogging because I buy something that extra that I just hate leaving behind. It's what makes bags end up in the back of the wardrobe...

Getting A Kata Bumblebee 210DL Tomorrow to use as my lightweight and Travel Bag, when I don't want to take it all with me! I will let you know how much room there is in that one, and whether it would be suitable for your use too...

I thought it would be a useful footnote to this thread to say that my 200AW is here, and it's perfect. It comfortably holds everything on my list, plus my Metz 48 flash, with sufficient space left over that a Limited could be fitted in easily, and something bigger probably could with a bit of cramming. I'm chuffed enough with this setup though, that I'm now on LBA hiatus and will get to know my newly-portable kit much better before I even consider adding another lens. As a bonus, it is light enough (in relative terms) that I can see myself taking it out more often - and that really is the key!
Hope the LBA Stays in remission
