help me choose a monitor

[computerguy]

i'm about to buy a computer and i'm not sure which monitor to go with.

what is the difference between flat panel and LCD?

i'm debating between:

1) Flat Panel (0.258 mm dot pitch)

Home & Home Office: UltraSharp 2007WFP Wide Flat Panel with Height Adjustable Stand

and

2) LCD (0.255 mm dot pitch)

Home & Home Office: UltraSharp 2007FP Flat Panel with Height Adjustable Stand

i want the best possible picture, for the web. for photoshop, vids, pics, etc.

thx

you're not going to notice any difference between those two
I'd go for the 4:3 one, strictly speaking it has more screen real estate than the widescreen
flat panel and lcd are the same thing

but if you really want the best possible picture, get this samsung
it's going to cost you more but the color difference is definitely noticeable

Have you considered a dual screen setup? It will increase your productivity significantly.

i agree, but thats just because i dont like widescreens. 4:3 seems natural.

You can get dell 20" widescreens for like $279 now... just get 6 of those and you are good to go

Ive had tons of dell ultrasharps. They have great pictures. I do not like the 30" with dual inputs thats the only reason I went with the apple display.

why don't you like them?
how's the apple 30"? I'm thinking of getting it

 

[computerguy]

thanks for the responses. i'm going to go with option 2. Its also because I dont think I would like the widescreen. I thought about getting dual monitors, maybe at a later date.

Interesting. I have been leaning towards getting the Dell over the Apple. So what don't you like about the 30" Dell the picture I assume, but what specifically?
