To quickly answer Chuck's "rant" (I agree to an extent) and your questions....but beware; I'm becoming more of cynic as I become older.


Simply, it's today's economics; greed. Just look in the news....from the government, to the private sector corporations to the Madoffs of the world, it's GREED. It's cheaper (easier) to produce quantity and screw your neighbor than to produce quality. Plus a throw-away product means (hopefully, if there isn't a quality product in the same price range) your customer will re-purchase your product in a couple of years.


This isn't a 100% axiom, but it's becoming more and more popular.


I did mention I'm becoming more cynical in my old age...right?


OK, ok....lets re-focus and get off my soap box in Trafalgar Sq.....so far what I'm getting; I should only look at IPS monitors and it seems the only one in the 600 buck range is the HP 24. My readings are saying Dell 24 is PVA.


Is the HP my only choice? Anybody else have experience w/other manufacturer's IPS monitors in this price range?


BTW.....I prefer to spend my $$$ on L glass than an Eizo, NEC, etc.


Thanks


Bill
