I heard the viewsonic leds are a pretty good brand. Any more recommendations on obtaining a 24" or bigger led with HDMI connections? I really want clear sharp clarity when working on photoshop or graphic arts projects. Thanks in advance.
Why do you care about HDMI connection?
Isn't HDMI better than VGA and/or DVI? I'd like to avoid the VGA connections if possible. Might as well go for the best viewing experience if I can with HDMI.
Beter than VGA which is analog, definitly. Better than DVI or displayport, for the same resolution, both are digital, I don't think there's a difference. Standard TV quality HDMI is 720p, 1080i, 1080p and you can do much better than with displayport or DVI assuming the monitor can handle the resolutions of course.
...Might as well go for the best viewing experience if I can with HDMI.
Additional info: many of the monitors with HDMI are "just" 1080p monitors, meaning they're 1920x1080 resolution regardless of how big the monitor is. (i.e.: a 22" 1080p monitor and a 26" 1080p monitor are both 1920x1080 pixels.) Really, they're the same screen you seen on TVs. On the other had, monitors that have higher resolution (more pixels) often use DVI or Displayport connectors. While 1080p is fine for movies and such, a true 30" monitor will be sharper than a 30" 1080p "monitor" (TV) and will probably have a dual-link DVI connector instead of an HDMI connector.
IOW, a monitor with an HDMI connector may or may not be "the best viewing experience".
LCD or LED monitor, which is better?
