About 6 months ago I asked a similar question, so this thread might help

Dell u2311h, ips, with a calibration done using information from here.

How has this one been going for you? I'm thinking of buying two from the Dell site shortly for $170 each which seems to be a damn good price.
Attitude is everything!

It was a bit odd.
I saw the monitor mentioned on a review site and when I googled it a link came up for a Dell specials page which had them for $168 each for a maximum of two so I saved two of them to my cart.
Strange thing is if I search the Dell site directly for that model the best price I can find is $248!
The page with them at that low price has to be there somewhere though!

Never make the same mistake twice, there are so many new ones, try a different one each day

i was lucky enough to get a 24inch dell for xmas.. l.e.d hd..... i just need to fix my old dinosaur to get it up and running.
i cant wait.
thanks, how does the gamut of these monitors stand up against others?
I notice dells get mentioned a lot when a monitor question comes up, are there certain models to look for, the reason I'm asking, is that when I went shopping for a new monitor the dells didn't impress me, so I bought a LG 2350 LED, and I really like it.

Honest CC whether good or bad, is much appreciated.
Love and enjoy photography, but won't be giving up my day job.

Look for IPS Vs TN panels. The U3011's have almost full Adobe RGB gamut coverage and calibrate to a Delta E of around .2 - .5
In Dell land the "U" series seems to represent IPS panels - these have a better colour gamut than TN panels. I rather like my U2410 but I quietly pine for an Eizo
Thanks guys, I have no idea what that means lol, so I best be doing some research on it.
Though I think I might of heard about an Eizo on a podcast that I listen to a while ago, from what I remember they are very pricey.
I ended up getting a Dell u2410 24". Great monitor, highly recomend it!
Dell 24" 2408WFP - don't think they sell them retail anymore, but it's a fantastic monitor; you can also rotate the screen into portrait orientation if you wish/need, and it has SD/CF card read on the side built in - highly recommend
In my studio we use Apple Cinema Displays on my windows based PC's - But if you have a MacBook, you can plug straight into that when your editing rather than reverting back to your PC as a thought?
The cinema displays are pretty pricey, but I dont regret my choice at all It is such a hard decission when there is so much out there, I googled my heart out for a month befre I made my choice
