Well if you don't even know what a S-IPS panel is.... then you probably wouldn't know what to do with a good monitor and you'd be perfectly happy with a Dell (although whatever you make your boss/clients would not be happy with)
Got a tip for us?

If you don't know about something doesn't mean you are not going to take advantage of it.
Yep!!!...
Well I was asking what S-IPS panel means.... and now I know.... so now I will know what to do with a good monitor... thanks!
Yes, the NEC is slightly more expensive. It's also a better monitor. As are a few others.
The colorimeter is used to accurately calibrate the monitor. Without it, proper calibration is difficult at best. Cheap ones can be had for $100, better ones can go for $300.
sorry i didn't read all the posts but,
since you have a mac book pro and im guessing your pixels per inch is like mine which is at 110, ill tell you my opinion.
the last time i checked the 23in it was at like 98 or something and i just checked the the 24 in and its at 94.
ok this is my opinion as i have tried 4 different displays and spent hours trying to find one.
anything under 100 pixels per inch is crap. i mean really bad.
if you are going to use this as an extended desktop then its horribly annoying.( a picture on your mbp if you measured it with a ruler ,ie ruller to screen, the picture could be 2x2 but on the other display its 3x3)
try and get something around 104.
thats the highest i could find in a flat panel
the only size display that has anything decent is either a 30in or 19in.
trust me i have checked way to many displays on this.
mine is 19in.
and it is from westinghouse and was 150.
best display i could have found i think.
heck if there is better i would love to know.
but untill i get a nice bank roll ill role with 19in's, even if i buy like 3 of these.
edit,
you can check the pixels per inch by just googleing "pixel per inch calculator".
basically resolution is the only thing that i found is worth looking for (to put what i said in a few words, that are understandable)

NEC 2490WUXi with a colorimeter included from the factory. $1149.99.
You can choose to use a separate colorimeter, so take a look at:
DataColor's Spyder series
X-rite's EyeOne series

Well... got the 23" ACD... and it's great!.. look
Are they still on sale ? However, nice setup. I know, maybe I'm a fanboy but the old ACD are just beautiful.
i see now.
well if you were using both screens at the same time, the pixel size makes a difference.
Yes... they are out there. The new 24" Apple Display is only to use with the new MBP... that's what I heard!!!.. not sure
Sort of.
The new 24" only has the Mini DisplayPort connector, so to use it with anything else, would require an adapter.
