One of the challenges in saying you are looking for a budget monitor is not everyone defines "budget" the same way. It all depends on what your priorities on cost vs accuracy are.
I think if you read what I asked about again, you'll get a pretty good idea of what I am asking about.
Everybody, and by everybody, I mean a lot of people, went bonkers over the 2009wa because it was acceptable for photo editing, and it was apparently by far the best deal to come along in a long time, if not ever, for an IPS panel monitor.
The 2009wa is not made anymore. My question, paraphrased, was simply "What is THE new 2009wa?" You might also notice this thread title is a play on words -- intentionally copying the title what might be the most popular thread to ever grace this forum...the 1500 reply thread on the 2009wa.
Maybe there is simply nothing like the 2009wa available now with such a favorable bang for the buck. I don't know. But that's what I was asking.

As for the super budget monitors in the $200 price range you can still get the dell 2209wa through third parties if you like that unit. The problem with most of the new super budget panels is that they are led backlit.
- I haven't seen any 2009wa's on sale for $200. And is that with tax and shipping? And how much would that add?
- What's wrong with LED backlit panels?
