Dell 2407WFP-HC and Sony G520. the Sony always present a more vibrant color, the black is simply...black. for image and video, Sony is hard to fault; for everything else, the Dell is good enough.

Samsung SyncMaster XL20 came with a hood and iOne calibrator.

The future of monitors is OLED...

- very fast response time (as good as CRT)
- very good brightness and contrast
- near perfect viewing angle
- ultra thin

Current problem is short life span of the display due to the blue element.

Its about the panel type and not the brand that makes the LCD monitor suitable for photo editing purpose or not.

Go for IPS panel if can afford as it offers best colour reproduction(most accurate) amongst all panels for such purpose. It simply beats TN panels handsdown (TN panels amongst the cheapest and more suitable for gaming with its faster response time). IPS panels usually comes as the highest end models (and price) in the consumer brands as they're not cheap to produce in the first place (different technology) and not produced/sold in huge volume as compared to TN panels.

Examples of S-IPS panels: LG L2000C, L2000CP, Dell 3007WFP, 2007WFP, 2007FP, Apple Cinema Display series, Eizo CG series, HP DreamColor LP2480zx.

Next best is PVA panels (such as Dell 2407WFP, 2408WFP etc) with good balance of both colour reproduction and response time.
