I am curious to know if anyone detects more banding than usual on these wide-gamut Dells? Considering what a wide gamut these have and that they are limited to 256 steps of color resolution in the graphics card when you profile them, you would expect to see some banding - gradients of color blocking up and looking "chunky" instead of smooth. This is the reason Eizo's and NEC's have their built-in graphics capability... to lessen the likelihood of banding happening with wide gamut monitors. Dennis, have you seen this with yours?

I bought one of these in January and have been very impressed with it. The color gamut is very good (about 98% of Adobe RGB), it was very easy to calibrate and profile and has been great to work with.
The only slight negative is that mine seems to need about 15 - 20 minutes to warm up before it looks right. Most of the other monitors I've had looked closer when first fired up in the morning, but after a few minutes this one looks ready to go.
Though I wish my budget allowed for the cooler NECs or Eizos with a kid going off to college next year I gotta watch every $$ I spend, so this has been a very satisfactory compromise between budget and quality for me.
