This Monitors give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Choosing the Apple Cinema 23 HD Above All Else
I've been looking for a new WUXGA monitor for the last month, and I've conducted a lot of research. I narrowed down my choice to these monitors: Dell 2405FPW, Samsung 244T, ViewSonic VP2330wb, HP L2335, and Sony SDM-P234/B.
I will be using the monitor for coding, illustration, and DVD playback, in that order of importance. Prolonged periods of looking at text must be easy on the eyes. It also has to have natural colors with no casts or artifacts and a reasonable response time.
Two of these monitors are 24" and their panels are made by Samsung, the 2405FPW and the 244T. The others are 23" and their panels are made by LG-Philips.
The Dell 2405FPW was ruled out because, even though it's the cheapest by a big margin, it has a notorious high-pitch squeal problem that Dell doesn't acknowledge or address and people are still getting squealers to this day. This would surely drive me crazy. In addition, I don't like the shiny Dell logo at the front bezel, and...
2. Buyer beware...
I am having color problems with this monitor; it has a pinkish haze and the left side of the screen is washed out about an inch. It was OK the first day I had it, but the problems showed up after a day or two of use. Re-calibrating the monitor does help -- but does not eliminate -- the pinkish haze, and the washed-out part is there no matter what.
There are many posts on the Apple Support boards about others with the same problem. You may want to consider this, and hopefully Apple will adknowledge a design flaw in these models soon.
Need more appointment... ?
Couldn't ask for a better display.
This was a no-brainer. The monitor arrived on time, and it took longer to unpack it than it did to plug it in to my G5 tower, turn it on, and be up and running. Literally plug-and-play perfection! The quality of images on the screen is as advertised. It would be hard to find a better high-quality monitor for color-critical graphics work.
The only tweaking I did was to create a color profile with a Spyder 2.
