HP Monitor

[Vikki Sixx]

Hey guys ...

Just about to splash out on a new monitor and have decided (after some reading) to get the HP LP1965 19" LCD. I am going to use it mostly for graphics and photo editing.

Anyone got any comments on this screen ?

Thanks
Vic

vikki, can you honestly not get hold of a 21" or 22" crt from anywhere?
lcd's just dont do accurate enough colour.

Well the HP screens are definitely pretty good, IMHO. I have one and I'm more than happy with it. The colour's great. Expensive, but once again you do pay for quality.

I have got a Samsung Synchmaster 21", but the damb thing gave up the ghost and I am not sure if it is worthwhile fixing it ? And who could fix it either?

the colours are on an lcd are not bad

infact they are way more vivid than crt's

yes, i remember from the other thread...is there nowhere that you can find another...similar?

thats nice, and conveniently, exactly the problem the OP is trying to avoid.

why would you want to avoid a monitor that offers enhanced colour?

i find the 2 lcd's i have owned the colour has been amazing

did i miss something where someone said they dont want vived colours or does photo editing not like lcd's or something?

i use corel draw and photoshop and the best thing i ever did was buy an lcd monitor

for print work it is not about vivid but accuracy.

o yea but for graphics and photo editing it should fine i think

yes for print work you do need accurate colours no doubt

depends where that photo is going... if it is being prepared for print then i think colour accuracy is needed.

but then if i look at macs they currently only do lcd - so who knows... i think it really has to do with the ms response time, but i am too lazy to find it now

thanks everyone ... I want to do a bit of both ... digital graphics (rendering, animation, etc) and also some photo editing for print. Figured that (from what I have read) this screen will give me both, one it is calibrated for color correctness.

 

[killadoob]

maybe a mac lcd has got better colour than the rest of the lcd's

never actually seen or even had a peak at a mac lcd

well vikki if its what you think you need then do itttttttttttt

i have a 19" Samsung Syncmaster 940Bf at work and at times i have used it for print work and have not encountered any real probs. Stragely enough the 19" Hyundai has better colour display then the samsung. these are both lcds.

go for it... in the worst case you can get a new crt for about R500-R800 maybe beneficial having both?
