Re: The DELL 2209WA Any good..

[botox]

As it is a Dell it is probably made by someone else and marketed under
several brand names.
As it is a Dell its particular model number and external packaging will
disappear but the innards themselves will re-emerge as a "new" model.

Sounds nice but HD video needs 1920x1200(1080) and this is
1680x1050(945). That might not matter to you.

Here's some competition at 1920x1080 (wider ratio):

I can't speak for the 2209 WA but I am most impressed by my 2408WFP.
In particular, my Spyder 2 says that the colour calibration is almost
dead correct.

I've compared it with Eizo screens and prefered the Dell - which did
surprise me.

I just picked up a 23" Acer X233H for $179 at TigerDirect.com. I love it,
though it was too bright right out of the box. It's so long, it's like
having two of my old monitors (not literally, but then, not that far off,
either), so there is tons of room to work in Photoshop, with my tools and
palettes not claiming 1/3 of the space. Also, as far as Tiger Direct goes,
I used their "truck" shipping (really, that was the option, USPS, UPS, Fed
Ex, Truck). Cost $1.88, and they had it to me within 4 business days
(ordered it late on a Thursday, got it Tuesday when I got home from work).
