24". Got this delivered yesterday. Seemed an overkill once I turned it on, but I got used to the size in a few minutes.
It did take a while to adjust the colours, as standard settings are strongly oversaturated and sRGB preset is almost colourless. Will need to calibrate it with a spyder one day.
Just one thing - the stand doesn't hold it in its position as firmly as previous models did, I can turn it a little bit left or right, ie. when inserting a memory card into the slot. They used to need more force for pivoting too. Are yours holding firm horizontally?

I do, no problems here. Stands firm, colours ok. But that´s just me.

I thought I had toned the colours down a little yesterday, but when I came back from work today the vibrance just jumped out on me. I keep reading on various forums that's the way this model is supposed to work:

Some people say the 2407 wasn't that saturated.

well, all I did was some rough tuning, but then we don´t do the kind of work that requires exact color-management. i didn´t encounter any problems at all with video display, like one of the guys from the apple-thread. runs supersmooth, hi-def and all.
an issue i have is, that sharp contrasts very quickly "bake in" (like with the old CRT displays, but not permanently). oh, and i use a pc. maybe there are some compatibility issues with the apple gpu´s.

Thanks schmutzi. I don't seem to have any display problems with it other than that clean colours are too strong. I have the 2007wfp as well and it is less vibrant, just as the 2005fp at work is.
I don't do motion or print design, but it seems useless not to see what an average display shows.

My stand holds fine. This is a great monitor except for the refresh rate. Sometimes my screen flickers when go to a site with a bg complex tile. Any one else get that?

I just read they updated the rev. to A01 and will be replacing older units mid-July to those who complain.. or something like that

i'm getting banding when doing gradients in photoshop - not sure why that is, graphic card?
other than that, it's a sweet monitor.
