| Roei, I know the feeling! I will say that I've been very happy with the DreamColor Z27X. It covers sRGB and Rec107 100%. I deliver for broadcast 90% of the time so I work in Rec 107. If it looks good on the DreamColor I know it will look good anywhere. I also like the fact that you plug a calibration unit into it and it self-calibrates, no computer needed. My fear is that a "standard" GUI monitor will not look good next to it. Sometimes I edit single-monitor style (I have my reasons) and it is disconcerting when I drag the program window over to the full-screen grading monitor and the colors change a little too radically.
