Hello,
I'm going to purchase a monitor display for 3D and video editing purposes (I mean especially color correction, so good color reproduction is a must). And ocasianally some gaming.
I'm thinking of two 30" models. Dell U3011 and NEC MultiSync PA301W (which is twice as expensive).
Now, NEC is (as I hear) a professional-grade product designed sorely for CGI pursposes. But from what I can spot on the site:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4196/n...0-inch-display
the latter monitor, Dell, has most of the crutial parameters, like Delta E, Color Gamut, display uniformity, etc. very similar to NEC, and is 2 times cheaper. It has also better response time (7ms, NEC's is 12 ms - is it of any concern in video editing?).
How about input lag - is it of any conern here (video and audio synchronization during playback)? (NEC seems a bit better - it has input lag of 17ms, Dell has 24).
And the last one: will Gretag Macbeth I1 color calibrator be suitable here?
Thanks.
