    I beat you to the punchline, I posted these exact links a few days ago. FYI, also the LM240WU4 indicates the U2410 will not be LED backlit.

    Dell U2410

    I found this, looks like a electronics standards certification website: Here you see the model name: U2410f: http://www.tuvdotcom.com/pi/we...and=&sLang=&searchbox= And here you see the panel type: LM240WU4, which is a H-IPS panel (the same used in the HP LP2475w)...

    I want to calibrate my Dell 2209WA, but I have no need to buy a calibration device. Can I just use someone elses sRGB settings and do I need to use an .icc profile as well? I am using both Mac OSX & Win XP. Cheers.

    The Dell G2210 is purely an object of marketing hype I would say. What good is LED when you have a TN panel? I have a dell 2209wa next to my macbook LED-TN panel and I would take the dell any day for anything other than office work. Just buy the 2209wa, I did, the hype and reviews online...

    Unfortunately the Dell 2408WFP can't display the sRGB 72% gamut perfectly (it is a wide gamut 102% NTSC monitor), and thus it is not recommended in the "PHOTO EDITING/WEB DESIGN (classic sRGB/web-target photo editing, or web design)" section at the start of the thread. If you're not that...

    Hey all, So I went for the 2209WA. Managed to find a 20% & a 10% voucher that I could use together, which got the monitor down from $438 to $316 (aussie). Haven't received it yet, but I want to have it calibrated pretty quickly so I can check for panel problems. Though I won't be...

    Hi all, If anyone is interested, it appears as if the 24" eIPS that LG was releasing: http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/ne.../17.htm#lg_ips_screens has been canceled, according to this thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showt...d.php?t=1402533&page=6

    Sorry! I was a bit unclear there.. The NEC 20WGX2Pro is selling at auction (2nd hand) - I just didn't know the price due, it's currently $188. I agree, the HP looks a bit slow on paper at least. Do you think it's worth the risk to go 2nd hand? I mean, both the 215tw & nec would be a...

    Xt, I've been looking at some cheaper options, as in Australia there is very limited range of non-TN under $500. Use will be general, (multimedia, movies, occasional games, limited office as I have a notebook). Dell 2209WA, $395 As for the dell I've come across these reviews, "Very...

    I think xt would recommend the HP2475w as it is H-IPS, and it comes above the dell in all areas (multimedia, print target media processing) etc. I would go for the HP2475w personally!

    I noticed you said that, you don't know if LCDs are going to get better per se, so it be worth buying sooner rather than later.In light of this, I'm stressing to find a good panel before they are become cheaper and lesser quality. I've found a shop still selling the BenQ G2400WD for $349...

    G'day xtknight, I noticed back when I bought my samsung 206bw in 2007, the samsung 215tw was considered highly on your recommendations list. I have found one of these for $200AU, would you still consider this good buying in light of recent models? Ideally I would like a non-TN 24", but...

    I couldn't really notice a difference, however, maybe because both of the panel versions I got were CPT. I've experimented with the magicbright setting on the 206bw, it makes quite an improvement. I'd still like calibrate the monitor using the available tools though. Xt, I believe it's the...

    Ahh I wish I knew that about the 0.258 dot pitch.. I knew intuitively that a 17" was sharper than a 15" or 19", but I haven't had a lot of experience with 20" wide before my purchase. I can always try vista when I get my hands on it though. I've also noticed the improved rendering on my friends...
