pat_cashin Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Has anyone bought the new HP LP2475w? I was looking at a NEC 2690 but I have had to drop my budget. The Dell 3408 has had some negative reviews for photo editing etc A review was posted at http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/hp_lp2475w.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frans_waterlander Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 How about the NEC LCD2490WUXi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Lookingbill Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 The NEC is around $1000 and the HP is around $700 both without a calibration device. Both can be calibrated below an average of 2 Delta E color accuracy. It's a no brainer don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_cashin Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 Go for the 2490 and buy the NEC Spectraview software? Or save $300 on the HP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabseye Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'd get that HP if I were looking for a 24-incher. Think I'm going with the smaller 22-inch unit they just launched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_cashin Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 I am leaning towards the HP 2475. Was thinking of either the 24" or 26" NECs which get great reviews (with their Spectraview software) but my budget is constrained at the moment. I don't want to go less than 24" as the extra real estate is what i need. Also I like the ability of this 24" HP to rotate to portrait view. Now, I also have to make a choice on a calibration tool (any recomendations?) as well to get the most out of it. I have an older Monaco Opix XR Pro but I am not sure how it does with wide gamut monitors. I shoot adobe RGB 99% of the time as that is what my clients want, use Capture NX, CS3 and I print to an Epson 2400 or 4800. I hardly ever shoot sRGB.

Tim_Lookingbill Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Color space of choice has nothing to do with your monitor or calibration package you choose. Go with Xrite or Spyder. Both work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
