Re: New Monitor advice required

Thank you all very much. It certainly helps to have such a wealth of knowledge at my finger tips.

I know I definitely would like a widescreen. For some reason, I imagined 22" or 24" would be widescreens. That is because I saw someone using one and it was wide.

I am going on holiday soon, so when I return, I will then start looking seriously.

The only trouble that found with that one Jeremy when I was looking for one was the annoying reflection of oneself which can seen on dark areas. As you say a lovely picture but I just could not stand the reflections.

Your right .... I'm next to a large windows, but the screen 'faces away' from it so no reflection !!

Good point

Re: New Monitor advice required

Is it a 20 or 22" Pol?

I still haven't replaced mine yet. As it hasn't completely "Gone" yet, I keep hanging on and Roy's Graphic Card went this morning, so it looks as though we shall be spending money on that first.

Anyway I shall be looking for help with that in a separate thread.

BTW Glad your first impressions of the Screen are good. Let us know how you get on and how it calibrates. What calibration software do you use?

It's the 20" (screen resolution 1680 x 1050). I followed the link Ian posted when he mentioned the one he had.

I use the Spyder2 for calibrating and I'll probably get around to doing that later this week. The colours are looking good at the moment though - seems to be near enough as it should be, though I'll still calibrate to be sure.

Re: New Monitor advice required

Thanks Pol. I fancied the 22". I also have a Spyder 2 but it doesn't seem to work properly on my current monitor and Vista.
