I am looking to replace an old Samsung monitor with a new 23 or 24 inch variety as a secondary display to my Mac Pro. I have 2 cinema displays, so it doesn't have to be terribly accurate at color reproduction.
My main uses include: Xbox, movies, and other background apps. Ideally I could have it connected to the Mac Pro and my 360 at the same time (DVI and HDMI respectively). An audio out would also be handy to port the 360 audio to my desktop speakers. LED or CCFL make little difference to me, but I am very sensitive about even coloring. Displays with tinting issues are disgusting, I would rather do without than have one like that! Low backlight bleed is also important as I watch a lot of movies. For reference, before my LED cinema display, I purchased a Dell U2410 and sent it back due to tinting issues.
Currently, my 360 is connected via HDMI->DVI adapter and optical audio to Mac Pro, thus requiring the Mac Pro to be turned on to play xbox.
So to summarize, I have the following needs:
- 23/24" 1080+ resolution
- HDMI
- DVI
- Manual source selection
- 1/8" audio output (*Optional)
- VESA compatible
- Low backlight bleed (Yes I realize this varies from unit to unit)
- No tinting issues
- Budget: <$200 (Around $150 would be perfect)
Thanks!
