Ed,
NEC has always charged too much for their monitors for what it is. Much more economical to go with a SPYDER and a full 99% color coverage by ASUS or DELL for displays.

Thanks. I was impressed reading the specs and capabilities. Disappointed at only 1 usb port, however.

I am using an ASUS PB278Q. They changed the software since the first reviews that said it had a full set of built in calibration settings, made them simpler. I let my Colormunki use its own software to change the settings. Didn't see that big a change on color, but for B&W printing it made a big change. Next step is to calibrate my Canon Pro100.

Unfortunately, the PB278Q is half the monitor of the PA279Q and also half the price. I think you really need to read and understand specs better. Bigger isn't always better.

Just a few months ago the 278 was top rated on some sites, when newer models came out the 278s price dropped. I chose the 278 because it was/and is very good and down to only half the 279s price. I can read specs just fine. I also passed on the Dell U2713H because of price. I am retired and on a budget.
When I found the software controls were not as described in the reviews I contacted ASUS and found out about the software change, but was told "third party" software could still access all those changes for calibration. I had also purchased a Colormunki, I just set it to its automatic mode and let it use its own software to calibrate the monitor. Next step is to read over the Colormunkis instruction book and re-calibrate using the "advanced" settings.
Then I will get my printer calibrated if I need to.

For those on a budget, the PA-248Q is the monitor. It's the smaller brother of the PA-279Q and also half the price. Like I said earlier, size isn't everything.

Why has no one mentioned the NEC PA242 with the SpectraView II calibration as part of the system?
The Nec is also an exceptional monitor, that compares very well with the comparable Eizo, costing hundreds more.
Another reasonable choice for a high quality display would be any of the HP Dreamcolor line.

I did not want a 24". I was born near sighted and prefer larger displays where I can see things better. I passed on the greater color depth to get the size because of that, and I can't really see all those extra colors anyway.
Enjoy your absolute rock solid certainty that you know best, for everyone.
