Yesterday I bought an LCD monitor. It’s an NEC 1970GX. It’s really nice (1:700 contrast ratio, etc), but I have to admit I was expecting more with the colors it displays. The grayscales are kinda blocky (when I make gradients for example.)

This monitor was around $500 after tax and rebate. Does anyone recommend another monitor for under $500 that I should get for DESIGNING rather than this?

Thank you very much for any input! 😃
