Apples new 24 inch LED monitor vs other moniters

[exiag335]

Hello

I am looking to buy a monitor for connecting to the new MBP.
I would like to know if the new Apple 24 LED monitor are any good or if I would be better off getting a different brand?

I will be using it for graphic design and 2D/3D animation.
I would prefer something under 500 dollars if possible.

If I will do video editing, can the same monitor also be used ?

Help please

It sucks that you can't do a simple search and find the answer, but I'll help you all the same.

Apple's LED display is the lowest priced H-IPS LED panel around. That makes it a great buy for the price. You will not find anything comparable in that sense. You can find less expensive panels that do not power your new MBP and aren't H-IPS and aren't LED. That's up to you.

You can do video editing and graphic design on the same display. If you so choose.

If you want something under $500 then you are in no way considering the Apple LED. I would look for a Dell 24" at that point or even the BenQ they sell at Newegg.com for something like $300. Awesome monitor.

So do you think it is better than Apple's 20 Acd monitor?
How about the glossy screen, do you think that will affect anything?

I was disappointed when I noticed the lack of contrast due to reflections on the monitor surface.

My desk lamp doesn't cause any problems on my LCD screen, and it is daylight-usable, but these glossy screen covers don't seem to like reflections.
