Best LCD for video editing?

[martinvanderhof]

Greetings!

I'm about to purchase a new mac pro, and I need an LCD monitor to go with it. I am a filmmaker and primarily use my mac for video editing. Image editing is a rarity, but I color correct in Final Cut Pro. I'm also planning on installing windows xp via bootcamp and occasionally gaming.

I'm looking for an LCD around 24" and no more than $600. I'm weary about buying an apple display due to price and updates that may be on the horizon.

Cheers in advance everyone.

I would look at some Dell monitors. They are very versatile and quality for the price.

Thanks fellas. I'm going for the 24" Dell.

Just an FYI, the Dell 24" is on sale today for $599.

 

[Abstract]

The Dell 24" doesn't use an S-IPS or AS-IPS LCD panel. Many Dell 20" models do, as do all of Dell's 30" models.

All of Apple's monitors use S-IPS panels. Generally, they're also quite good compared to the competition, including Dells.
