We talked about monitors…

[diode]

Some months ago, I asked around about advice for a new computer monitor. My deecision was to go after a Dell U2311H, unfortunately, I missed the clearance of stock early april, and since they haven't been on sale. Plus their stock was 2-3 weeks for delivery… So I bought a Samsung F2380M, it's not IPS but MVA, and it's beautiful. Accurate colors out of the box (and even better with a little help), it tilts with double salto too, and it's even less expensive, the real contrast ratio is about 3000:1. On the down side, they put ugly stickers on it, and the cables are not managed and stick under the screen… Anyway, it's a very good one. It's the monitor of choice at lesnumeriques btw.

Note for those interested:
- it's not for games, no no no
- not the best for films either (a bit noisy in the pitch black it has)

But perfect for the rest (and to work on colors especially).

Now, IPS are more and more mainstream, and LG is issuing it's own version of IPS, so the next one will be in this direction. By then Dell will have stocked its new models and the japanese factories will work hopefully, at least if Monju and Fukushima have not fucked up everything in Honshu.
