Are they any good for graphical work?
Better alternatives with comparable prices?

any tool is good as long as you know how to use it.

cinema display more gooder

Some of them are, depending on LCD panel used, like with any brand.
Even Apple uses cheap panels with low colour range these days (iMac 20").

enter the model number, tells you the panel inside. look for S-IPS for graphics..

TN panels are no good?

they're just as good as the Apple cinema's... some even say 'better'... I run one at the moment and will be adding a second shortly...
cnet has a good read on the two (dell & apple)...

http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-moni…the Dell wins via the editor review and is tied in a consumer review...
... so I settled with price and got my 24" dell refurbed and saved another $200... I'm sure you could get a refurbished Cinema display pretty cheap too...- apple wins in consumer review... sorry... 1/2 star - regardless - both are really good - dell is just cheaperPonyBoy

So it seems safe to go with Dell...

Last time I checked, Dell didn't do decent 20" anymore and only one 24" model, the 2408WFP. It was some half a year ago though.

Apparently there are different views on what 'decent' implies. The CNET test models didn't have S-IPS panels, for instance.

I got one and it had a terrible colour cast on it, so I sent it straight back. I now have a Sumsung.

2208WFP 22"
- rafalski0
It's easy to compare iMac 20" and a 24" at an Apple store. The 20" is a TN panel, it has lower color accuracy and it changes color as you change viewing angle to a much bigger extent the 24" does.

I am behind mine right now. And I can say it rocks!

the newer ones are pertty good got better colour and contrast than dells of the past... mines a big ol 22 inch without gloss and its v nice worked 2 years without a hitch, the older 15 and 17 models suck! i use them at work

I have two 2007WFP, they're terrific. The 2008WFP isn't though, it has a TN panel :(
I got a 24" 2408WFP and to my surprise, returned it. Oversaturated colors I couldn't control and strangely, it was too big.
