    Buy your HP LP2475w from any reputable online store - Amazon, NewEgg, Buy.com, TigerDirect, or directly from HP. Look for the lowest price + shipping. Then call HP for warantee service. I bought my LP2475w in early 2009 (online but don't remember where) and went through 5-6 exchanges until HP...

    Sounds like you've spend many hours comparing the two monitors to get the colors you wanted. Perhaps you should invest in a colorimeter to calibrate the monitors? They are expensive, but you could always sell it on eBay after a few weeks to recoup the cost.

    Ah, there is your problem. If you're using the TFT Central color profile, then you need to set RGB to their setting too. To bring down the overall screen brightness, decrease Brightness, but note that your color will no longer be accurate. Also, be sure to use a color-aware program to...

    Are you sure the setting on your HP LP2475w is correct? It looks like the Contrast is dialed all the way down while Brightness is up too high. My Contrast is 80, Brightness 16. Please verify.

    S2309W is a TN panel. Get the 2209WA, which has an e-IPS panel.

    NCIXUS doesn't offer "ZERO Dead Pixel Exchange" for BenQ G2400WD any more. Reading their custom forum, it looks like they did it in the past. Perhaps they stopped because there were too many returns. :)

    I plan to buy the ColorEyes Display Pro + Spyder2 Bundle for $239. Probably for Christmas... :)

    I created another test image as per mikuto's comment: Green 185 184 183 182 181 The top half has 50x50 patches of RGB colors (0,181,0) through (0,185,0). The bottom half has (0,183,0) missing, and I could discern the edge between (0,182,0) and (0,184,0) at the middle if I look closely...

    About 22" TN's with 92% color gamut, I think they will be an improvement, but they will have the same problems as current 22" TN's. Since 22" LCDs are aimed at general office use and gaming, HC is still good - provided that they don't cost too much more. :)

    Let me see if I can change your mind on wide gamut LCD as I have been thinking about it for a while. First, as you pointed out, each color channel's 8-bits are being stretched to cover 92% color space from 72%, which means 5 neighboring colors in 72% gamut will only have 4 values in HC. Can...

    I read on HardForum that Frys Electronic B&M has NEC 20WMGX2 for $499 with $100 rebate (final cost, including CA tax, is $437.67). I went to my local Frys tonight to check it out. They confirmed the rebate, but that specific store doesn't have it in stock anymore as the model is being...

    Must TN panels be perfectly flat? For 22" TN's, the vertical viewing angle could improve with a "concave" design - slightly curve the top and bottom of the screen towards the center.

    Here is an interesting idea for those experiencing glare on the 20WMGX2... "polarized" sun glasses. They are great for filtering out certain reflections. Perhaps they would work here. Could someone try it? If it reduces the glare, then one could fit a large polarized film (clear perhaps?)...

    What about the LG L226WTX-BF? I can't find any "professional" review on this new monitor, only user reviews that were all positive. At ~$370, I'm tempted to give it a try.

    The input lag is most apparent when the LCD is right next to a CRT. I have a dual monitor setup - a Nanao T2-20 CRT and a Samsung 213T. If I consciously look for the input lag, then I can feel it on the 213T. For this, I simply move the mouse cursor left to right quickly on either monitor...
