How do they compare? Presumably they use the same guts (from Phillips?). I
read a review and they rate the Apple a bit higher, better color continuity,
etc. possibly due to brighter back lit? I am interested in the Sony because
it's cheaper. Should I go with Apple instead? Thx.
I have an HP 2335 and it is fantastic. I went out and visually compared the
Sony, Apple , HP and Samsung. The Sony and the Samsung had great features,
but didn't seem as bright or as crisp (moving image transitions/ghosting).
This brought me to the Apple and the HP. After looking at the options and
inputs the HP was a far away winner and the cheapest of the bunch.
I do a lot of graphic design and paste up work and I keep a process color
manual at my side to verify color and the variation has been so slight that
I've only needed to adjust colors a few times.
If you go with the HP make sure you get the 16ms screen and not the 23ms
screen they intro'd the monitor with. I recommend buying direct from HP as
some online stores say 16ms and then you get shipped a 23ms or a refurb
(stay far away from these).
Good Luck
