  enter the model number on this page and it will tell you the panel type. S-IPS and the newer H-IPS have the best color and viewing angle.

  Better than Apple's, in my opinion (not as attractive unfortunately):

  • I have a 324– Josev1/5

    How much are the Colour Edge Monitors?– Andrew_D2/5

    Wow, those fuckers are expensive! I imagine they're worth it, though.– Andrew_D3/5

    They're very pricey, but are probably the best color LCD you can get. I think they run from 1200 up to 5-6k.– Josev4/5

    I bought a refurbished LaCie for $650.– Josev5/5

  LaCie 324 is the same panel as in a Dell 2408wfp and Eizo CG24, which does not beat the color accuracy of the apples.

  the LaCie 526 has the 26" version of the same H-IPS LG panel as the 24" apple.

  • Yet even Macworld gives the LaCie a higher rating. Here's a quote -- Macworld on the ACD 24": "When viewing a full black screen, there appeared to be some minor light leakage from the bottom of the screen, keeping the display from looking as dark as LaCie’s 324."– Josev1/4

    screen, there appeared to be some minor light leakage from the bottom of the screen, keeping the display from looking as dark as LaCie’s 324."– Josev2/4

    looking as dark as LaCie’s 324."– Josev3/4

    this is true (about the light leakage)– emesstyle4/4

  yes, a PVA panel like the LaCie 324 will have better black levels, it will however suffer from color shift and contrast variance depending on the viewing angle, as is characteristic of PVA panel types.

  I would suggest reading up on panel types, S-IPS, H-IPS, S-PVA, MVA, TN. each has advantages and drawbacks.

  I have the Dell Ultrasharp linked by v3, but I have to warn (in case it's not assumed) about their customer service being poor, and if something goes wrong with the monitor don't expect much to be done about it. I'm sure this is similar with a lot of similar large corporations that train customer service employees to respond by the book or pass on to the next department, but it still annoys me.

  Keeping track of the numbers I kept being referred to after a simple question was misunderstood, I was thrown in a loop of the same sequence of numbers more than once. 2 hours later... learned a hard lesson about Dell's shitty service. Should've known better!

  Go with samsung if you don't have the budget for a higher priced one.

  • +1, service is shitty — though I complained enough to get an upgrade from the 20" to 24" for free– Gifto

  don't buy it cash, better to have a credit card to back it up. if the seller act like a asshole, you can "most of the times" back it up with your credit card company.
