Apple monitors are not worth the premium you pay. Dell monitors are great, and give you nearly equal quality for a lot less. (Quite frankly I can't tell the different between the two).
I've been using a Dell 24" display for a few years now and love it. I would get whatever Dell monitor is in your budget.

Even the bottom end flats are great, but a little higher up things get very nice indeed!

It's not terrifically up to date, but I was looking through this last night and was surprised to see that Dell monitors are still generally the 'best' overall option.

Does anyone have a Dell 2407 and can tell if it's oversaturated like the 2407-HC and 2408 are?

why do I get the feeling I'm gonna end up spending a lot more than I intended. There's some real nice kit about... too nice! DAMNIT!!

HP and NEC seem to be offering a few reasonable options. You can't trust naming schemes, different sizes in a series may be way different construction. Check the panel type here: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/pane… look for IPS or PVA/MVA.
TN (6bit) panels are not recommended for colour fidelity.

Used Apple 20 inch monitors are great if you can calibrate them using a friend's colormunki or similar device.

not too bad on Ebay these days.... and they do still impress clients, and the color is very nice on mine....

a Dell 2007WFP has the same panel as an Apple 20" and can generally be found for less.

Samsung's are where it's at.

Newer Dells supposedly don't have the same magic as those from a short while ago... not sure if they switched suppliers, but I have a friend who bought one to replace an older Dell, didn't like the new one as much...
