I just bought one and I am happy so far. Get a high quality IPS monitor if you are serious with your editing. I got a Nixeus NX-vue27 on sale now at Amazon. I have to go back and re-edit many of my old pics because I see more problems with them in Hi def. The colors are amazing and accurate. There has been many discussions on this subject here. Search for new monitor.

Type of monitor depends on your calibration gear, and your connection type. HDMI, DVI etc. Monitors have to be calibrated every few weeks, so just make sure it can be calibrated with your current gear.

What kind of PC are you getting, and what connection types does it have? I would assume it will be HDMI as most newer PC's have these types of connections.

It may also help if you let us know what size you are looking at. If between 20 and 30 inch and have a HDMI you probably want something labeled as HD, or a min resolution of 1920X1080. LED's often are better for being lit evenly across the screen.

There are a lot of monitors out there. I currently have a Dell 30 inch 2550 x 1600 and I have had it for years. I love it. Many people buy an expensive computer then go cheap on the monitor. But in reality, a good monitor will last through several generations of a CPU. The monitor is where you do you work. It is not on the computer, printer, keyboard or mouse, it all on the monitor. Do your research. Big monitors are power hungry, can run hot, can have bleeds or distortion at the edges and corners, noticeable vignetting. Some have few adjustments/menu options. One thing to look for is if you can set the kelvin on the monitor. Read the reviews and look for problems such as dead pixels. Check out warranty. Better monitors offer 3 or more years. Look for dot-pitch and the smaller number is better. Those that list the dot pitch are better than those who don't, and they do that on purpose.

Better monitors use DVI

Hmm, I thought HDMI was a newer interface than DVI or even DVI-D. all of my monitors use displayports as an interface with my graphics cards. Te wide color gamut along with a high contrast ratio is what you need to look for. Ideally the highest resolution you can afford with RGB/LED or at least W/LED backlighting and having the ability to calibrate the monitor to some set standards and InPlaneSwithing is almost a must, because if you cannot calibrate the monitor those million/trillions of colors are a moot point. Personally I prefer the NEC PA(class) of monitors but to each his own.

You are correct, HDMI and DVI are the same except DVI will not display encrypted Blue Ray.

Hi all I have a new asus pa248Q--questions-better to connect to my laptop with HDMI or vga or other? Also, is there a way to operate the monitor remotely rather than using the"buttons" in the front of the monitor?

thanx
