That too is an S-IPS panel, to replace an ageing iiyama 19". At work, employer provides the respected 24" Dell 2407WFP (S-PVA panel), and I used to come home, look at my Iiyama and wonder if my eyes were broken, it was so much fuzzier and lower-res than the Dell!<br><br>Now, if I use my NEC in the morning before work, the Dell seems, well, a tad dull. Off-axis, the S-PVA panels are poor, yet this S-IPS is good for +/-60 degrees off perpendicular.<br><br>My monitors usually last three times as long as a computer, so I'm quite happy to pay a lot more for them!<br><br>On that note, I will always buy a laptop with the better (higher res) screen, and have never regretted it. Provided you use an OS whose GUI is fully scalable, within reason the higher the res, the better!<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[paul-engadget]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 5:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NEC delivers 26- / 30-inch LCDs with SpectraView color calibration sensor]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/nec-delivers-26-30-inch-lcds-with-spectraview-color-calibrati/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/nec-delivers-26-30-inch-lcds-with-spectraview-color-calibrati/</guid><description><![CDATA[Before the morons come out and say "but I can get a 24" for $150 from office depot", this is a reference monitor that is meant to have exceedingly accurate colours - it's not for you, it's for professionals doing photography, graphic design and video work.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Phil]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 5:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NEC delivers 26- / 30-inch LCDs with SpectraView color calibration sensor]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/nec-delivers-26-30-inch-lcds-with-spectraview-color-calibrati/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/nec-delivers-26-30-inch-lcds-with-spectraview-color-calibrati/</guid><description><![CDATA[it's actually pretty cheap for a reference monitor which includes a cal.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Noodles2k]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2009 5:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on NEC delivers 26- / 30-inch LCDs with SpectraView color calibration sensor]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/nec-delivers-26-30-inch-lcds-with-spectraview-color-calibrati/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/06/nec-delivers-26-30-inch-lcds-with-spectraview-color-calibrati/</guid><description><![CDATA[Very true, those $150 monitors use low quality TN panels which are horribly inaccurate when it comes to colors and extremely poor when it comes to angle viewing where the colors invert and all kinds of crazy things.
