Slightly OT Monitor Question

2008-04-23 by Louis de Stoutz

Dear community,

let me shortly leave my lurker's status to ask for some advice on the 
choice of a 24" LCD Monitor. Since we have similar expectations from our 
Hardware, I will probably get more appropriate advice from you than from 
a general monitor forum.

The most important work on my new workstation will of course be B&W 
photography using Photoshop and Lightroom. But since I also plan to do 
some HD video editing (Premiere), and my budget is not unlimited, I had 
taken some interest in the Benq FP241W (or even FP241WZ) for its 
additional video-oriented inputs and excellent price/performance ratio.

Upon reflection, I start being worried about insufficient tonal 
separation in the B&W shadows and have been thinking of an Eizo CE240W 
instead. But: almost double cost, not at all geared towards video, and 
the "lowest" member of a, though, superior class (different technology 
if I'm not mistaken).

Could anybody with more experience be so kind and comment on this?

Many thanks,

Louis
