I'd like to finally graduate to flat panel type monitors, but am unsure about what the best flat panels would be that a) have timings quick enough for gaming so there is zero ghosting, and b) best/most accurate color, contrast, brightness, etc., to do advanced photo and film editing.
I have a budget, but right now, for argument's sake, let's claim no budget - what are the best flat panel monitors for these sorts of activity?
Thanks in advance!
I don't think "zero" ghosting is possible with LCD.
I was where you are now a few months back and I read a lot of resources but the best is a forum made sticky over at anandtech.
Here is the direct link
The LCD Thread
I went with the DoubleSight DS-263N. However I don't see it's listing in the thread anymore. It's a fantastic resource by users, not reviewers or advertisers. With my screen missing I am guessing they keep it current.
Hope this helps, also, I got my screen for about $750 before shipping and tax. not s single dead pixle and love it to death.
And also, it's not just response time that is an issue with gaming monitors but also input lag. the thread discusses it.
