Hi friends,
I am thinking to buy a new monitor for use RT. Actually the mine is an old LG Flatron L1950SQ.
What do you think about this BenQ GW2470HL?:
(I know, an Ikegami or similar should be better…)
Any advice?
It depends on what your expectations are and the price. I have been going on 1.5 years without a monitor because I cannot find the right one for a price that I can afford.
Specs according to Benq: https://www.benq.com/en/monitor/stylish/gw2470hl/specifications.html.
Whatever you buy, also rent/buy a calibration device!
I bought a used EIZO FlexScan S2410W a year ago and I’m very happy with it. Costs me 100€
+1 for the calibration device
This tip might or might not be of any use for you, I have two not-so-new 24-inch monitors with 1920 x 1200 resolution and find the extra vertical space helpful.
Well, then the question is:
@paperdigits Help to buy a monitor and a calibration device…
@Pepe The second hand Eizos here are very old and expensive.
@Jacal The BenQ is 23,8’’ but only 1920x1080, yes I was thinking about this, however 1920x1200 are more expensive and with lowest specifications.
I replaced a Samsung 1080p monitor that died a little while back with an Asus PB278Q. It’s a 27" 1440p(2k) monitor that’s not super expensive, with some nice features(see link). Now that I’m used to this, I’ll never go back to a 1080p monitor. In fact, my next one will definitely be a 4K. Keep shopping around and good luck!
Hi friends, at the end I will wait for a really decent monitor,
Thank you for your advice.
Well, I spent extreme money for my new monitor 1 year ago: after searching very long, it became a BenQ SW320 = 32inch 3840*2160px (near 4k) and including HW calibration equipment it costs about 1500EUR… But I’m very, very happy with this equipment because of a lot of working space and the really clear colors!
