Hello Ken,
I have a Dell 2407WFPb on my desk, which I assume is the predecessor to the
2408. It has a red shift in the upper left quadrant that is very apparent
when viewing images of works of art that include large neutral areas. I use
this monitor only for standard office work and would not consider using it
on any color critical workstation. Mine might be a fluke and the 2408 may be
improved, but just a heads up that if you purchase make sure you have the
option to test and swapout if necessary.

Hello. Is anyone familiar with the Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP (Editors' choice
CNET) or the LaCie 324 LCD (Monitor + Hood + Calibration Software)?
We are looking for new monitor purchases that can be used instead of
purchasing the Apple Cinema Display, which we are not satisfied with the
current models. The screens provided by Apple, in the size range we are
interested in, now have a high gloss finish on them. Additionally we have
been somewhat disappointed with the quality of the screens for the cost of
them with ghosting problems they develop before even the three year point.
Can someone who has seen either of these monitors offer some comments?
What other options in the Cinema Display price range would you recommend?
(at least 23² screen)
Thanks!
