Which revision do you have?

The A0 and A1 units have pretty bad problems.  The A3 has a slight  
color problem, the A4 units they sell now supposedly have no issues.

Dell will replace the older units with the new ones if you ask.

I do want good color, because I do photo editing.

My current Samsung TN display drives me crazy because the colors  
change if I even think about moving my head.

I was disappointed in the Apple 23" monitor.  It seems to ghost really  
bad.

The 30 inch one is nice, but wow... way too much money for me.

I want it, but I can't have it... :)

Actually, I think 24 inches is probably a better size for me.

If I did a lot more video and photo work, I might actually spend the  
money for the 30.

But, if I get the 24" monitor, then I have enough left over for a new  
camera... :)
