| Im looking to buy a new monitor. I would love some suggestions and a brief explanation on why that model. I really don't know too much about the different models and am looking for a place to start doing my research. Thanks. |

| Very broad question. What are your requirements? |

I don't really know my requirements. I just started looking today reason being is that I am getting more and more freelance gigs and some wedding jobs also. I figured it was time to step up the gear a bit and a new monitor was top on my list. Currently I have an older 19" model someone gave me that has dull spots on the left side and really just doesn't look good.
I want something that is a bit more up to date that would be ideal for my post processing. Hope that helps a little. |

I have the Dell Ultrasharp 20" widescreen monitor. VERY nice display, although I have yet to try a calibrator on it. Runs at maximum (native) resolution of 1680x1050, and can be rotated to portrait orientation (software automatically switches the video card output as well when you rotate it) which is really nice for working on vertical photos because it displays them much larger.
From a photographer's standpoint, I would recommend something like that. The Dell model is $399 list but can be gotten on sale if you're patient.
The Apple Cinema displays are the best but they'd probably blow your budget. |

| If you're going to use the monitor for photo editing then get one with sIPS technology. Two that are highly regarded are Hewlett Packard 2065 and NEC 2070nx. |

Okay, I am sure you didn't mean the Side Impact Protection System. What is sIPS? |

That's true ... I got lucky with my Dell as it has a S-IPS panel, whereas some of them were/are shipping with S-PVA panels (which also had banding issues). |

| Can someone please explain this sIPS or S-IPS thing? |

u get different panels, some screens are made with TN, MVA or PVA panels = 18bit colour
S-IPS, S-PVA, P-MVA and IPS = 24bit colour |
