Hi all
Big question for all of you - especially the budget experts:
I'm looking to get a desktop PC and a 19-to-23" TFT panel for post-editing
work
There're two ways any of you can help me out here. If you know of a
particular PC brand and model you can recommend, I'll take that advice
onboard. On the other hand if you prefer, let me know what you think I
should look for spec-wise, what to avoid, what to particularly focus on.
As for TFT monitors, I'm confining my range to between 19" and 23". No
Eizo's or Apple's - way too costly for me over here. Can't get my hands on
Sony's either for some strange reason. So I'm limited to Samsung, LG, HP,
Dell, Lenovo, Viewsonic, Acer, Benq etc.
I've been looking around online and it gets increasingly confusing. It's
difficult to make any direct comparisons from one make/model to another.
While most if not all manufacturers seem convinced that the larger the
contrast ratio, the better but someone on this List quite a while ago
mentioned that, that's not exactly true.
Then there's the issue of whether it's a good idea to be able to
individually and separately adjusting the R, G and B colours as part of the
menu controls. Almost every website doesn't provide any such information. Is
this because this manner of control isn't possible at all or just that
manufacturers are slack in the info department?
I also read that Lenovo offers very affordable monitors that can pivot so
you can have landscape and portraiture viewing format, which is great.
However it also says that the PC's graphic card must be capable of taking
advantage of this feature. If this is true, do today's standard graphic
cards all support this pivoting feature?
Thanks
K.
