Hi Sylvain,

you mean from left to right of the gamut spectrum or the actual screen? [/quote]
The actual screen. It looks like there was a flaw with a certain series of panels for the LP2475, and other than that it seems to happen every so often even with good panels, straight out of the box, mind you. Of course I am always the person to get the short straw when it comes to these things <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />.
Unfortunately I now have lost confidence in HP, which was already shaky due to my experience with HP printers.
One of the reaons I looked at it <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />.
From all I have read, led backlit panels are not up to scratch yet when it comes to colour evenness, and even calibration doesn't help completely, so for now I will stay away from led backlit panels. The problem is that leds don't support the whole colour spectrum very evenly yet.
Anyway, thank you for your trouble! It does look like my shortlist will stay the same in that case <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />. I don't have enough space for a bigger monitor (neither do I have the budget), so it will probably be one of those in the end.
It's a pleasure!
No, not with any forum software, AFAIK. What I do, is copy the botton end quote tag, and copy that in twice where I want to reply, and take away the slash from the second one, then type between the two tags. Something I have been doing for years now <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.
Actually, it is good that PZ only allows for single quotes, eliminating any of the previous ones. It gets really hairy with multiple inline quotes to get it right <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.
Kind regards, Wim

Quote:Hmm it was some time ago so I couldn't be very accurate I'm afraid ! I know for sure I only looked at 24" panels. I think I must have considered a Dell or two and a few Eizo but the HP just came out of nowhere and was about exactly for what I wanted. My budget was to stay between 500-1000€ so I felt lucky with the 600€ paid for the HP.

Not with the shift to LED backlit panels we have witnessed last year, supposedly improving contrast & gamut. I think Eizo or NEC (I'm looking for it) released a rather interesting specimen a month ago at an affordable price.
