You could always try to buy it from another country.

Calibration via software is impossible, without a calibrator, usually those software's only make things worse, like the samsung's, it might looks good but the colors are all off.
Some photography shops sell paper color charts, they are usually very cheap, with one of them, you could try to calibrate manually, but is it really hard to do, and if your monitor has extended color gamut, forget it, the people I know who tried it, all bought a calibrator. You could buy a calibrator and resell it for about 80% of the original price, it should be really easy since it will still have warranty.
About the Belinea 2485, I have read very mixed opinions about the quality of the screen, I think Prad.de got lucky with their sample, Belinea is not usually known for quality, I would take the HP or Nec any given time, just the trouble with returning the screen if you don't like it, is a pain in the a..

The HP LP2475W (extended color gamut) or the NEC 24WMGX3 (standart gamut) should do
I will however recomend a calibrator if you do video editing, the difference between a calibrated and an uncalibrated monitor is huge, specially if you do video or photo editing.

First thing I would do is to buy a calibrator, it's almost impossible to manually calibrate a screen for professional usage, an i1 lt or i1 2 is a good choice.
Some screens can come very uncalibrated from the fabric, I almost got a chock when I first looked at my Nec 2690 uncalibrated, but after calibration, everything was fine. -
Hi, you can access the extended menu by holding the input in, while turning on the monitor, this will give you a lot more options
Don't forget to enable the overdrive.Maybe setting the DVI to analog will solve your problem. I don't have that problem with my gfx card (nvidia 8800GT, running vista x64), I have set the monitor to briefly display the resolution when it switches and so far there haven't been any problems.

1) I would say it good, the text isn't as sharp as in 1920x1200 but still good, depending on the font you use, if you didn't like the 20WGX2 interpolation I doubt that you will like, the interpolation of most 24-26" screen since the pixels are bigger.
2) sRGB on wide gamut monitors sucks, plain and simple, and the 2690 is a good example of it. It will never be the same as monitors that aren't wide gamut, red and green will always look more saturated, using color aware programs will lessen the effect, but if you need to use it professionally, forget about it, stick with your old screen. On the other hand working with photoshop is really nice, especially when editing aRGB photos.
3) The scaling in the monitor is very good, however there is a limit to what will look good when you blow a 640x480(or lower) resolution up to full screen, it's the same problem when watching standard definition(SD) movies on a screen this large.
4) No, and you can't calibrate the lut in sRGB, as I already said it will never be the same. It's hard to say if it's more accurate than the HP, I saw both monitors uncalibrated in sRGB and I wasn't impressed, I haven't tried calibrating my nec in sRGB since you can't calibrate the lut. btw you can down a free 14 days trial of the spectraview software from the nec homepage and do a lut calibration if you have a calibrator
I would suggest that you buy via mail order, that way you can always return it, if you don't like it.

They will probably skip the mainstream LED backlight, and go directly for OLED, since OLED TV's will be arriving around 2010-11.
