After weeks and weeks of waiting the new LCD finally arrived. It was worth the wait. I do wish the website on materiel.net reflected what was in stock. Now I've got a LG W2600HP-BF which has all the bells and whistles of the Dells and HPs of the same size. But it has the real advantage of being S-IPS instead of PVA, or crappy TN panels. Whats the difference you ask? Well go into your local big box and put the $1200 Lacie next to the $200 Acer. It's the difference between seeing the colors of what your monitor is trying to produce instead of seeing what the software is telling the monitor it should be producing. The 19-inch Samsung this monitor replaced looked really washed out and the colors were dead.
And 26-inches of monitor desktop is huge when the screen is only a few feet away from your eyes. I remember there was a time I had a TV smaller than this thing. It's being able to see everything at once. Deep down I wish I had bought two. Using the screen at work seems so boring compared to this baby. Like driving a Porsche on the weekends and coming into work on monday to putt around in a Fiesta.
