My old E-19A 19" LCD died yesterday. The back-light burned it self out, complete with charred cables and a sickening stench. Right now I am using a seven year old busted CRT that makes everything a disgusting shade of pale pink and sky blue. All the reds look orange; blacks are gray, blue a teal and white a pale-blue peach.

Searching the forum helped a lot and I want to buy a good 19 or 20 inch standard monitor with an S-IPS panel. The NEC MultiSync 20WMGX2 was in the right price range but no one sells than any more. Newegg has a bunch of UXGA and XSGA panels but no information is available on their color reproduction. I am looking for life-like vibrant colors with decent response time less than 25 ms for general use and editing photos.

I have been not paying much attention to current technology while stubbornly clinging to an old LCD over the past four years and need some help getting the right monitor.

Did more research and found many LCD monitor manufacturers don't tell you what type of panel is used, just it's specification determined by it's screen size and hight ratio. S-IPS was a early design in 2006 to the current standard H-IPS and can be found for sale. Might get the Planar PX2611W when I have enough money to afford it.

I will avoid posting anything at bit-tech for a while. Thank you to all the people who bothered to read the first post and will make a better effort to follow the forum rules.

Is is possible for the moderator to close this thread and remove it from the forum?
