Displays people are going to use?

[Mike Medavoy]

Can you properly calibrate any of those LCDs? With a test signal let's say. You know, pluge and all of that.

Yeah, I guess they could be Samsung... Not that I'm going to disassemble my 2405's to find out. I have a couple older Samsung 243T displays on some of our workstations and one on my system at home... Very nice display even though it's only 250cd/m brightness and 500:1 contrast. Not quite on par with the 1000:1 of the 2405 and newest Samsung units.

As for seeing those compression artifacts, all I can say is, Yep! These monitors are so sharp that they show every little flaw in the video/images you're working with. I love 'em. :)

I've had a 2405 for a good 8 months or so now. Great monitor without a doubt. And thats taking into consideration 'us' paying the oh-so-steep-compared-to-US 1700AUD price. :)

One thing is for sure... you certianly notice those compression artifacts. HDV... eek! Bring on the HVX :)

Very happy with it, works like a charm.

Erwin, how do you find teh Samy's stand, portrait and landscape? The dell's has a slight tilt one way when in landscape (i.e. not fully paralelle to the desk in landscape) due to its stand (possibly fixed in rev 2 monitors).

Yay 100 posts :P
