I just bought an HP LP2475w and a Dell 2408WFP online -- HP from Amazon, Dell from Dell -- and neither had any problems at all. My first online LCD purchases, but they were both just completely fine, no problems at all....

Sure. Go take a good look at an IPS or PVA monitor, and then you'll understand why people spend $500 and more for them, instead of half those prices for TN panels. Or, just check out any TN screen, and notice how it's really, really dark at the top of the screen, and really, really light at...

Don't know if this helps, but..... I've had an Ergotron "Neo-Flex LCD Arm with Extension" for years. It has easily held a number of 24-inch monitors with no problem -- including the Dell 2408WFP and the HP LP2475w that I've mentioned here. Seems like those are a bit "bigger" but not...

That would echo my thoughts, closely. I just set up the Dell in its new home -- with a friend who will appreciate it just fine, and won't be quite so critical about everything as I was. And it helped me put things into better perspective -- we are being very critical here. I may be...

Oh, I have given that plenty of thought. But, the thinking generally went like this: 1. I'm not so worried about "color" -- I'm worried about proper levels of brightness and contrast, at a much-much-much-reduced overall brightness level than, say, the settings published on the TFT Central...

In my experiences with these two monitors, the gamma was indeed among the settings I adjusted. However, I usually found adjusting it to be counter-productive -- every time I tried adjusting it, I always wound up putting it back to "default." Or, at least, suffice it to say that using it to...

Further update: With quite a few hours spent with the Dell 2408WPF and the HP LP2475w on my desk, I've definitely decided upon which one will be the keeper. In the end, it was an easy choice to make. It might not be what you expect, though: I've decided that the HP meets my needs far...

OK, I think we're getting closer..... 1 and 2: We're on-target with those. 3. I think I'm finally seeing what you're saying. To go on to your next paragraph: 4. Here's the best way I can describe it. If I sit in front of the S-PVA Dell, and sway back-and-forth, "Stevie Wonder...

1. Yes, I could have put this in a new thread, but the new threads seem to scroll away very quickly -- I thought I'd reach a bit wider audience in here. There actually is a halfway-recent 2408 vs. LP2475 thread out there, somewhere..... 2. I'm not sure what I can fundamentally show in...

Well, wrong-o, wrong-o, from my perspective. If I'm working outside in blazing sunlight, I might need the brightness that the TFT Central settings would provide. We went through some of this a few pages ago, but since most of these monitors have about 10 times the brightness you need if you...

Well, I'm not entirely sure at this point -- I took the HP off of the monitor arm, and put the Dell on. So, the HP has been unhooked, unpowered, and lost its settings. But, I think the "brightness" you're talking about is this "reflectivity" I was talking about, or that "white glow" concept...

And in reply: 1. Yes, that's about how I'd call it, too. I had a 24-inch TN in here a couple of weeks ago, so I'm pretty fresh with how all three look to me. 2. Again, if that's not really "ambient light," gosh, it sure looks like it to me. At the very least, it's a way to describe the...

OK.... 1. I'll be glad to defer to folks who actually know these technologies -- I can certainly tell you what it looks like to me, and try to provide pictures that will hopefully show what I see. That said, I envision "backlight leakage" as light "peeking out from the very edge of the...

Let's see.... I'd say the following in response to your points: 1. Haven't heard the term "white glow" before. With a little Googling, I see its usage. Frankly, I think it's just another way of trying to describe what I'm trying to describe here. Frankly again, I don't think it's...
