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.

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.

look, does it really matter. everyone who will see your "color corrected" stuff has fucked up screens any way. lol.
- LOL, so true. I had a client who kept emailing me about the gray's that I had chosen for the layout. I finally went to her office and changed the tilt of her laptop screen.Josev

Dell 2408's are issue-ridden mainly to do with lack of quality control.
If you go for Dell's, stick to Dell 3008wfp Rev A02 (latest revision), otherwise you could be in for many returns.Wide Gamut - watch out for this, as its becoming standard on many monitors, you get excellent colour, but only properly used by softwares like PS and Firefox (colour-manage apps). Otherwise it will look all oversaturated and bright.
Also you MUST calibrate the Dell monitors as they usualy are rubbish at factory settings, but after calib are very good.
Or, go for the NEC's, LACIE's or EIZO's as you can expect good quality from them.
- before all screen gone flat. i worked on LACIE, really nice. excellent color. but they cost a hell of a lot.akrokdesign

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").

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"

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!
