oDi_W Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) 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 ratio1920x1200(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:€355,81Edit: I currently have a Iiyama Prolite E260WS Edited January 6, 2011 by oDi.WankenoDi Quote
MrZunz Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 The link might be in Dutch but I think this is a decent one:http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/Monitoren_24_inch_en_groter/Iiyama/ProLite_E2607WS-B1/285601/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=Monitoren&l2=LCD&l3=24+inch+en+groter Quote

Darkstar Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Is it me, or is there barely any 26" monitors. Plenty of 27" though. Quote
CyriusG Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Don't forget to make sure that you get a IPS panel and not a crappy TN panel. Quote

Mayco Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 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. Quote

Con:20000:1, Res:1920x1200and switching my 26" to my second PC.So you are alowed to search for 24". Edited December 1, 2010 by oDi.WankenoDi Quote
