IPS Panel for photo & video editing

[rizwanmithawala]

Hi everyone,

I am planning to get the Dell UltraSharp U2312HM 23" LED Monitor primarily for photo-editing but I'll also be editing DSLR HD Video footage shot at 1080p. Its an e-IPS panel and has a 8ms Response Time. I won't be playing any games. But, is the response time sufficient for video-editing?

Can anyone using an IPS panel for photo & video editing share some experiences?

I have shortlisted the following:
Dell UltraSharp U2312HM 23"

ASUS PA238Q 23"
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/818913-REG/ASUS_PA238Q_PA238Q_23_LCD_Widescreen.html

Which one should I choose? An other suggestions in the same price range?

Thanks!

Don't go by the manufacturer's specified response time. What you really want to compare is the ghosting time, as defined here:

That site doesn't have a review of the Dell U2312HM, but if you look at the TFT Central review, the ghosting looks mild. For video editing, there's also the question of how well the screen can be calibrated. TFT Central calibrated the Dell U2312HM to 0.3 average deltaE. Unfortunately, I haven't found a review that actually shows calibration results for the Asus PA238Q.
