Help choosing a monitor
Hi,
My iMac has to be returned due to my eyes absolutely hating the glossy screen, as I like the Mac os I will probably replace it with a mac mini which then allows me to choose a matte monitor.
Can anyone recommend a good monitor for photography?
I've had a look at the Dell Ultra sharp and a few Samsung monitors but am unsure what to buy.
....all suggestions welcome.

Quote:NEC Spectraview screens. Accurate colour reproduction is what they are designed for.
There is a review in this week's AP. From the review they seem to be exceptionally good - but whether you want to pay over £900 for a 23" screen is something only you can decide.
NEC monitors generally aren't as well supported in Europe as they are in the USA. You can't buy Spectraview II software, or the matched X-rite calibrators with custom filters. Once you get into all of that, an Eizo turns out to be better value, whereas in the U.S the opposite is true I think.
So.....its out of :
Dell Ultra sharp 27" £642
Samsung Syncmaster 27" £323.89
NEC 24" £886
HP 24" £430

HP 24" £430
Thing is the Dell and the Samsung are the same size of screen, yet the Dell is the only one that has a resolution increase (The Samsung stretches the image you'd normally see on a 23" screen).
However, that might suit you, the text and tool palettes will be bigger.
