For those that have calibrated this monitor with something like an xrite or Spyder did you have any problems getting good results?

One of the reasons I bought this monitor was because of my frustration trying to calibrate anything with Spyder. I set the PA249Q to the RGBs setting and everything just works. All my web photos are in RGBs in photoshop and my prints in RGB98 with photoshop managing color on the Epson 3880. They all match for color!

No problems, I use the xrite display 2 and have not had any problems running the program

Although this monitor comes calibrated from the factory, all monitors drift, and calibration allows color accuracy without using the special hardware modes. Using colorometers like the spider on a wide gamut monitor like this will never give very accurate results. I recommend a photospectrometer, like the munki.

If you're looking for a professional editing monitor look now further it has amazing color and has been calibrated for true color. I personally use it for gaming and have little issues the text ghosting that has been mentioned in the other responses does happen though looks like words are wiggling around every once in a while. Made the purchase and am not disappointed

It will read values on the screen, but won't actually calibrate it. To do that, you need to generate color bars, read them with your spyder, and adjust the TV's color, hue, saturation, brightness and contrast, etc. levels. There's the Spyder 4 TV version for just TV. You can also buy an upgrade to that so you can calibrate your computer monitor as well as a TV. (basically includes a blu-ray disk that plays color bars, and instructions as to how to go about calibrating). You'd read color patches with the spyder, and adjust the TV to get to the right values. It's time-consuming, but there's no other way if you want your TV to be accurate.

i own one and the screen is matte. i also take photos for architectural/real estate. best if you have monitor calibration tools, otherwise default color settings not that good for editing/processing. i also use my nikon tethered straight to laptop and works well. has built in sd card reader too. only downside is battery life. high performance settings will get you about 1.5hrs work time. power brick is literally a brick so not that portable. overall, very good and reliable machine. i won't replace this for a few years more even with the updated ROG models already out.

I use it for photography. The sRGB settings are good enough but I still use a Spyder screen calibration to ensure color accuracy.

I used it to calibrate my desktop and laptop with no problems. If you want constant monitoring for light you have to have the device connected to that computer.

I have had no problems at all. Great machine. I combined it with an HP flat screen monitor.

I have had my two for over a year with no issues. Gaming, Video Editing and photography are my main uses and it hold up pretty well. AOC did a good job on this monitor.

In essence, yes. You might have to tweak around with color settings until you get some good preset. Ones that come with the monitor suck arse. The monitor itself is used for datasheet viewing and I have no problems with it. It is a very good monitor and I plan on buying another one when my pocket allows it.

I don't think this is one of their "eye care" monitors. Personally, I haven't had any flickering problems. I run all my games in 1080p and don't have any problems. I hope this helps and wish you well on your search for a good monitor.

There's a good calibration here - try this link http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/sony-lcd-tv/sony-kdl46hx750.html

I'm just getting into digital photography by buying the r2400 and Nikon D200. I'm using a Mac. Could you please explain, in somewhat laymans terms, about calibrating a monitor and how it is done--where do you purchase these programs? or whatever Spyder2 is and how it is used.

You should always edit your images with your laptop cover opened where you see the screen at its brightes and consistently keep doing it that way. That means you should calibrate your monitor to that specific, upright setting. I would have an image printed and compare it to your screen

Yes and yes. Although it's not as accurate as a calibrated broadcast monitor, there's enough resolution to get the job done. Good luck to you!

I wondered about the same initially. Need took priority and gave it a try. I have not regretted my decision. I have no resolution concerns or issues. I run my monitors at 1920x1080 resolution without no "visual" issues whatsoever. I guess a lot depends on how good your computer's display output/card is. My laptops are pretty top-of-the-line so no complains here about image quality.

I bought one, never worked in 1080p, 720p. Also had several dead green pixles so I returned it and the second one was worse. Consider another one.
