  • Monitor for Programming

    Both S-IPS and S-PVA panels have better viewing angles and the best color represantation.


    There are monitors out there with 8-bit color processing to 14-bit. <-- those are very very expensive.


    S-IPS panels - LG - Dell - HP. S-PVA - Samsung and Eizo but if u can afford Eizo keep in mind that the panels used on Eizo


    monitors are Samsung.



    If u can afford a 26 inch monitor such as Lg W2600HP (price from 515 to 575) (SIPS panel) check it out. But be carefull with the revision. Some revisions have serious problems such as backlight bleeding. The latest appears to be OK.



    As for you dillema i suggest HP with SIPS panel.

  • LG W2600HP-BF

    Hello to all.


    In August 2008 i bought my first W2600HP for 500€. Revision 803xxxx with all the known problems. I upgraded to 1.60 from 1.10 and everything solved.


    Backlight bleed exists in the upper left corner nad it is noticeable when the monitor switches on or off.



    Few days ago i bought another one W2600HP FOR 620€ from Berlin (price includes vat and transport fees with UPS)


    Revision 904xxxx with factory installed firmware 1.60.


    Backlight bleed does not exist BUT ON THE SERVICE MENU SPECIFICALLY ON THE 4TH LINE


    my old monitor with 803xxxx serial shows LPL26.IPSWCG and my new with 904xxxx shows LPL26.PWMWCG



    Does anyone knows if this is correct ? Do i need an upgrade ? my new W2600HP is fake or something ?


    and also based on the panels the new one has 102% WCG and the old one 115% ?



    I 've found a lot of threads on Russian and other sites that explain for LG panels and for the specific model from 801xxxx to 809xxxx had a different


    panel that those 901xxxx 904xxxx. The old ones LPL26.IPSWCG and the new with LPL26.PWMWCG.


    If i change from the service menu the setting from LPL26.PWMWCG to LPL26.IPSWCG the brightness goes to full and when i try to reduc from


    30 percent and down the backlight CCFL "smoothly" switches off (FADES OUT) from left to right and not on whole screen UNTIL it switches off


    COMPLETELY.






    Thanx all in advance.
