Only 24=94 but the HP Dreamcolor is about the only monitor that is pretty decent for both. I think there is quite of bit of info on ProVideo Coalition about using it as a reference monitor.

A film is =96 or should be =96 more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what=92s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

=A0=A0=A0 Hi = all, looking into getting 2x new 24 - 30 inch monitors, and wanted to know what the current favorites are. Not into getting a cinema display either. Is there anything on the market that functions as both a standard graphics monitor and a high-end reference monitor? Are there any LCD options that have such good color depth you could fake it with good calibration? Does anyone use displayport or hdmi over DVI? I have an Eizo Coloredge CG222W that does a pretty good job at filling that role, but I'm getting a new system and don't want to drop another couple grand on one monitor. I don't need SDI or broadcast monitoring per se, just something that's as neutral as possible and has lots of color control and good brightness. Any suggestions welcome many thanks,
-TG
