David Porter Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I am looking for a new monitor not only for my A/V work but also for printing my photos which I envisage will increase. I have been looking at the 24"Dell U2412M.IPS as I like the idea of the 16:10 format. It is around £240 which is about as much as would want to pay. Any thoughts on this monitor or alternative suggestions?Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 iiyama?http://www.dabs.com/category/computing,desktops-and-monitors,monitors/11109Just tap in your requirements and you can eliminate the alternatives.Not suggesting that you buy there but I have had good dealings with them.My IIYAMA 24" is great - but I would consider changing to 1920x1080 to have everything in the same AR - for the time being!!DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yachtsman1 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi MickAny reason for 16-10? If you are making DVD's for showing on widescreen TV's, 16-9 is the norm, I know people compromise with 16-10 to get the best of both worlds meaning less cropping of 3-2 pics from your camera, assuming you can't change the AR in camera? I use 16-9 straight out of my camera but it is a pain having to compose your pictures for viewing through a letterbox, maybe 4-3 will come back one day. Incidentally I don't know the monitor you have chosen, but I can swivel mine 90 degrees which is a great feature for editing portrait shots.Regards EricYachtsman1.

Being a bit of a stick-in-the-mud and shooting 35 mm for over 50 years, I tend to compose in the format of the camera 3:2. I think that is a good starting format for prints as it can be cropped square or wide screen, although wide screen does not always work for prints (in my view). So 16:10 seems to be a good compromise.Jumping threads and having put the Youtube link on for you, what did you think of my "Autumn Leaves"?

In other words the quality didn't seem there on my Youtube download. While we are talking youtube, I made am MP4 of my Botanic Road show with the intention of putting it on Youtube, but the 75 MB exe came out as a 250MB MP4, so I tried making an IPad/IPod version & that only increased the size by 33% to 100MB, tried to upload it to Youtube but it stuck part way through, may try again later.Regards EricYachtsman1.
