Found the perfect 24'' computer display for HDSTORM

[Zorro]

Recently I've asked for a good 24'' computer display which can be used as a full hd display here:

Finally, I found a display which is absolutely breathtaking, can handle 50Hz for us Pal people, applies no overscan, lots of inputs, anti glare surface etc. It's the HP LP2475w:

Hope this helps a lot of people here :-)

Here's a review in english:

since this monitor is 16:10 and not 16:9, does it leave black bars top and bottom?

It has to.

PC Monitors: 16:10
HDTVs: 16:9

Not anymore Stormdave. I bought a Dell S2409W 24" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor last week (16:9) for $300 which is simply ideal with the HD Storm. Even better than my HP 24" Billion colour broadcast monitor worth over $4k. (Well almost).

Yes, Anton! Shows you 1920x1080 resolution 1:1 and applies no overscan. Crisp clear 100% pixel native picture.

The Dell has only a tn display so the colours won't be that accurate and refresh is slower. It's also lacking analog inputs.And no word about the capability to do real 50Hz for us Pal people.

Hey Zorro, read the post. We are in PAL land, it's been bench tested against the HP and stands up well and streets ahead of any scaling 16:10 LCD monitor we've tested under $2k. And the refresh rate is not relevant on video outputs.
HD Storm (like many cards and cameras) is designed for HDMI, component is still common but very durasic (analogue days are gone - well almost).
And even for the untrained eye all you have to do is stand it next to a monitor 10x the cost to see the value of the Dell with HD Storm.

[Zorro]

You actually tested the Dell against the LP2475w ?

Does the Dell apply overscan or not?

Customers with eg an EX3 like the component inputs.

[redgum]

1. No. Independently. Benchtest in November Auscam magazine
2. No overscan
3. I understand that. Some people still edit analogue.

Yeah but who buys Auscam for reviews? to hard to get hold off, and not worth the subscription fee...
better of googling for the reviews on it. (no hard feelings though)

Apparently some people do. I would prefer you keep opinions like that, to yourself.
