Where to find a good Monitor?

[Michael]

Thomas,

I have one of these (Dell 2209WA) and find it to be quite accurate when combined with Monitor & Printer profiling. I run a standard Spyder2 puck along with ColorEyes Display Pro software, it craps all over the standard Spyder software and can be customised to get the best results from your screen. This combined with a good Printer Profile for the paper type you are using give great results. Just remember that no print will look exactly the same as the screen for obvious reasons, but they are damn close.

Mick,
I have just received my 2209wa and am currently trying to comb the forums and web reviews to pick an appropriate calibration tool and software. So far the Spyder 3pro has my interest (partly because it seems easier to source locally). I was just interested in your opinions and experience with your monitor and callibration. Would you prefer a i1 Display2 to the spyder?
