I believe that's the new model of the old U2411H. I have the U2311H and absolutely love it. If it weren't discontinued, I'd get another one. Have you thought about building instead of buying refurb? You can build a pretty decent setup to tackle editing for a great price these days.

I added a second monitor to my setup a few months ago and got the Dell U2410 which is in the same product line as the OP mentioned. It holds it color exceptionally well though I still calibrate every two weeks just to be safe. I really think that it is a good idea to spend the money on a good monitor even if you have to go over your budget slightly. They are worth their weight and you will notice the difference. I had a Samsung monitor previously and thought it was good but now that the Dell is sitting beside it you can really see what a great monitor is supposed to look like. I kept the Samsung as a second monitor and move all my menus and tool palettes onto that monitor which allows for a very large image area to work on in the Dell monitor.


My life is like one big RAW file....way too much post processing needed.
