If you're looking at Dells, I'm pretty happy with my Dell 24" U2408, but
recently ordered a 27" U2711 as Dell had a special which worked out to about
A$630, which I couldn't pass up.
These monitors have a wide-colour gamut, which allows more flexibility in
calibration.
The U2711 is also one of few monitors, along with the likes of the expensive
HP DreamColour series, that supports 30-bit colour. This requires a quadro
level graphics card, though, so you'd be looking at a serious investment.
Anyway, I can't comment on the U2711 quite yet, but certainly the specs look
right, and high res (2560x1440) - I probably would've rather 16:10 than
16:9, but that's getting rarer now. The U2410 is probably another good
option, also wide gamut, 1920x1200.
Note the U2711 won't swivel with its supplied stand. The U2410 will.

Subject: Monitor advice wanted
Hi all,
I'm planning to upgrade to a reasonably good LCD monitor in the near future.
Are there any models that offer high quality at good value?
Sadly I don't have the budget for an Eizo but I have been eyeing up the IPS
Dell ones. Apple are out as they don't have DVI. Apart from that I'm
pretty much open. I'm shopping in the 24 to 27" range.
I'd like one that I could rotate to portrait orientation but that's not a
deal-breaker (in fact it could be more of a pain than it's worth).
In addition, what's going on with calibrators these days? I plan to replace
my old Spyder and I haven't been following developments in this area at all.
Cheers,
Dave
