THE budget editing monitor is here. Dell 2209WA!

Fed up of my bloody acer giving out slightly warmer colours to what i get from prints even after calibration.

Just before i buy could somebody please give me the yay or nay as to this is the correct one i need to buy.. also does anyone know of a better price in the UK than this with the UK Dell Warranty (3yrs)

Was looking at specs on the referenced UK ebay page. I knew about the USB ports, but... it seems to indicate media card slots, as well? If so, does it have CF?

I have had zero issues profiling with my Spyder 2 Express.

No media card slots.

Spyder 2 Express checking in, works fine.

I am sure this has been covered here many times so I apologizes a lot for asking, but where currently is the best priced place to buy one of these babies?

Directly from Dell. Do a quick search at slickdeals.com for a variety of ways to it shipped to your house ~$220USD.

According to my "Red Flags Deals" email this monitor is on sale in CANADA at $209. Don't know how long but here's the link

After reading this thread, viewing links and checking outside sources, I do have some questions to those of you who are set-up for Adobe rgb (monitor, photoshop, dpp, etc) and use this display.

Since this display is not a wide gamut panel, I saw 83% in this thread, do you find it a hindurance when editing in Adobe rgb? I do everyhting in Adobe rgb, even though my current laptop display is lacking and cannot be calibrated beyond a point. [I probably just answered my own question here, since the Dell display will be nearly color accurate after calibration and my laptop display cannot.]

Perhaps I need to just save up for a wide gamut display, but this Dell just seem too enticing. Maybe I should just set myself up for srgb and be done with it. My printing is for personal use only, but I do like the slightly larger color gamut of Adobe rgb.

I guess I just need a 'nudge' into buying the Dell...

Thank you.

Don't waste your money. Just like lenses, buy the best you can afford.

Is this only in Canada or something? When I go to dell.com it is listed for about $300. Even with a 10% off coupon or something, it still comes out to $270 or so.
