Dell days sale - U2412M

[Phihalo]

Dell is having this on sale - a 24inch IPS monitor. i know this is not as spectacular as the U2410, but for us amateurs, I think this is a pretty good deal - just a heads up

That's LED backlit, I would avoid it personally if you want it for photo editing.

They can be really hard to calibrate, and some of them are so bright that their lowest setting is still too bright for photo editing. Also, if you're sensitive to it, you can see an effect similar to if you look at a CRT TV through a video camera with the lines moving across it (I can see these on my work monitors in some scenarios which are LED backlit).

Some of them have a glossy finish to them as well, rather than matte, which is awful.

The exception I believe is the ultra-high end RGB LED backlit monitors.

Interesting. I have this same monitor using the Spyder 4 Pro and never had issues with calibration or eye fatigue.

using a spyder 3 though. you basically have to justify the cost of the u2410, then something like a NEC and above. I'd buy this again but next one may be a 27"
