[QUESTION/HELP] 2nd 26" monitor

[oDi_W]

HAI!

i made a decision.

im going for 3 24" screens in triple screen mode-ish when i can get my HD6990.

i broke my 1k goal last week and i have a higher paycheck so my question is,

What would be the best 26" monitor?

and with the best i mean:

High contrast ratio

1920x1200(or higher) resolution

(oh and a vesa 100x100 or 200x100 mount would be nice)

So, the actual question is, what monitors do you know that are 26" and have a minimal contrast ratio of 1000:1?

Price doesn't matter much but it would be nice for it to be under €400,-.

The reason i want a second (yarr harr) 26" monitor is because its awesome and my current one its contrast ratio is actually to low for my demands.

What i've seen so far:

Fujitsu Amilo SL 3260W Res:1920x1200, Con:20000:1 Price:€355,81

Edit: I currently have a Iiyama Prolite E260WS

Is it me, or is there barely any 26" monitors. Plenty of 27" though.

Either got for 24 or 27 indeed.

Don't forget to make sure that you get a IPS panel and not a crappy TN panel.

some crappy TN panels have a 20000:1 contrast ratio....

plus they have a slow respond of 12ms

Are you sure you don't want to go for 2 of the same screens? It's way better than 2 different screens because you don't have a different contrast/resolution/etc. which really bothered me when I had 2 different screens.

Thats treu, but i do want a screen with a bigger con. rat. than my current one.

the current one can be put on my second computer that doesn't have a screen yet..

and i was going to buy the same as my current one if nothing usefull comes up in this thread.

Btw IPS is expensive

EDIT: i was thinking of taking 2 Asus VW266H. Con:20000:1, Res:1920x1200

and switching my 26" to my second PC.

So you are alowed to search for 24".

That is the dynamic contrast ratio which you shouldn't look at.

@ The Asus LCD ?

Edit: most of the time the company doesn't tell if its dynamic or treu contrast
