Recommend me a monitor, Dell U2410 vs...?

Hi guys,

Looking for some advice please. I am wanting to purchase my first IPS monitor purely for photographic editing use. I would like a wide gamut monitor, and I don't want to spend silly money. So far for me the model that stands out is the Dell U2410.

Is this the monitor I should buy at this price point or do you have any other recommendations?

Thanks in advance

I'm considering the 2410 myself, which seems to fluctuate on the Dell site between $499 and $549. It's been out for a little while and has a large following as a pretty decent monitor for the price.

I like mine once I calibrated it. It came really bright according to both of the calibration softwares I have tried on it.

I was worried by some many reports of problems, but so far so good.

I thought 24 was going to be huge, but now I lust for another monitor even bigger.....

Also some have reported getting it for as litle as 399, but I paid 499 including shipping.

Be aware only color managed apps look good on it. e.g. not ms explorer....

Not sure about the 24" models so I went for the 2711, now I have enough space for PS menus, dialogues and my images The 2711 is the same unit as the Apple Thunderbolt at half the price. (I did not buy from dell in Europe as they ask 900€, I got it for 500€).

Thanks for the replies

I carried on reading reviews and threads elsewhere and combined with your help have jumped in and ordered one from Dell with a discount voucher. Look forward to receiving it now...!
