2 options : help choosing one
In reply to Suntan, 6 months ago
Hi,
Thanks so much for your advice. I think honestly I would ideally like to get two....which may be affordable to do in the used range.
2 used options - help choose between then?
I realize that the brand new models are prob worth the money in the long run, but it seems that you can now find the top professional monitors from a few years ago at now only a fraction of the price. Micah
Thanks so much for the advice!
Or maybe you have a better suggestion?
They are both about as low in price as they say they will go and both are in my price range for a used monitor. I suppose I could go to $500 for a brand new, but seems like I should go for a used highest end slightly older model, than a brand new mid-range current one.
I'm thinking that I should get one of these now and then a year or two down the road, I can always get the other for even far cheaper.

The other is a bit more expensive, a bit newer, and is the super bright (comparatively) and great looking monitor. It is glossy though and more expensive. ($350 24" LED Cinema Display)

One is a slightly older monitor, yet cheaper...but it is matte and I would think would be the best option for my eyes and editing. ($250 23" Cinema HD Display)
Is there any way you could take a quick look at these two and give me your advice?
I figured if these were good enough for high end photo editing 4-5 years ago, they should still do excellent jobs not.
I was looking on craigslist and I came across these two that seemed like great buys and a huge upgrade from my current monitor...although not as good as current models of course.
