Great deals available on some monitors I've been eying. Can't wait anymore. Which should I go with? (BDay coming up and someone who loves me is springing for a nice present.)
NEC MultiSync PA271W - looking at this for a long time. The one photogs love. Would have been a no-brainer except now 30 inchers are in the same price ballpark. 1.07 billion colors. 14 bit programmable LUT is very attractive, plus excellent connectivity options.
Dell U3014 - 1.07 billion colors, excellent reviews- PC editor's choice. Factory color calibrated. Not sure how this compares to the NEC color wise but 30 inches would be game-changing for me. I have color calibration hardware so probably could get a very accurate profile for this monitor. I'm leaning this way even though I've lusted for the NEC for a while now. Touted are software features which I think would not be available for Mac and I'm wondering if this should be a deal breaker.
I have resisted some attractive budget models for a while but need to pull the trigger asap, for reasons of work efficiency and sanity. Any help with decision appreciated.
