I have a Spyder 2 and I like it. A lot of people recommend the eye one xrite system.
I don't have a Dell.

You didn't skimp on your lenses, so don't skimp on a monitor calibrator. Get a good one, you won't regret it.

I have an Xrite Eye-One Display II, and it's great.

Lol - sorry, I can't help you. I doubt you'll want to order it from my local place here down under.

I use Spyder 2 on both my Mac and Dell LCD Monitors with great success. But now that Spyder Elite 3 is now out don't know if Spyder 2 is still available in the States. My son picked up copy in States for me for US $99, as it was nearly $300 in Australia.

Here is a review of the Spyder3. I use the Spyder3 Studio and highly recommend it. You will spend more on x-Rite and do no better.
