I guess it's pretty much settled then. Thanks a lot for your help and for going through the trouble to get the profiles for me!
I'll be sure to send my friends here when they need a new monitor It's really a first-class site.

The price difference is striking. With those alternatives, a wide colour gamut display would seem like the better choice. I am leaning towards the Dell though, and judging from your first reply, that isn't too bad a choice either. I'll consider calibration hardware later and maybe talk to my brother who's also into photography if he's interested in splitting the cost.

Am I correct if I assume that the Dell would be the best choice in it's price class? I can currently order it for €220 from a dealer here in Sweden.

Shouldn't it say in the review if they had to manipulate the graphics card?

It doesn't really feel like I can motivate buying calibration hardware at the moment. I also have doubts whether I'd benefit from a wide color gamut. I think sRGB will do the trick just fine as long as the calibration is decent. It'd be nice to know what you'd recommend among simpler displays.

I really appreciate your advice.

Hej, och tack för att du tog dig tid att svara!

From what I understood from the review, the gamma deviation was easy to correct, but maybe I misunderstood something. I'm pretty new to looking at monitors this way and I absolutely love the site. It's really the perfect place to go for a thorough review!

My pain barrier is mostly related to price/value, but I have been looking at the Eizo S2231WE-BK before, and I think that's about where it goes. My gripe with calibration hardware is that it's a lot of money for something that's just going to be used once. I'd rent one though, if it was possible

I've been reading a few discussions on wider colour spaces and aRGB, and it seems to me that it's really not necessary most of the time. I'm not a pro, and from what I understood, the size of the palette stays the same no matter which colour space you're working in. I feel that I learned something about it from this thread at dpreview.

I'm really grateful for your help. Right now I'm on my Macbook through a...what is it?..5 year old LG LCD-TV, so I guess even a cheap TN would be better than what I have now

Hi!

I couldn't get the "find models"-function to work(got 404), so I'll try posting here.

I'm hunting for a new monitor. I'm considering the Dell 2209WA, since I think sRGB will be fine for my photography needs and because it doesn't seem to need that much calibration, which is good, since I have no plans for buying calibration hardware. The one thing that it would need to be perfect though, is RGB or SCART-input so I can use it for my PS2 as well. I don't want to have two monitors, but I don't want one that doesn't cover sRGB well either. My budget is flexible, but somewhere around the 2209WA is prefereable. My preferred size is 22inches and I do want it to do portrait mode, which I realize limit my options quite a bit.

Thankful for any answers!
