Tack för svar Denis och tack för välkomnandet!
I feel abit stupid reading all this. There's alot of terms that I don't quite understand. Also, I managed to miss how to quote posts for some reason. I tried to do it manually. Feel free to bash me for being a beginner, I seldom take my time to work out the tech. I usually just paint..

What OS are you using? Unfortunately I have no experience in DualScreen Color Management but Microsoft offers a tool for Windows XP that should be able to load the LUT data for two different screens (I assume that you want to work in a calibrated and profiled environment?).
But this is only half the way. I don't think that (for example) Adobe Photoshop is able to work with two different display ICC-profiles - but is this a must have? It should be sufficient if the two displays match in terms of white point and brightness. Color critical work should then be carried out on the main screen.
I have previously worked with two different models and kind of monitors (FP2001 and the CRT P991). The P991 have worked well as a gaming monitor with it's 85Hz, but it has been lacking in colours. I've notice grayscale to lean towards a warmer red-purple-ish tone, which has been a setback when I've used it for work. I am not sure what I'm after, but since I'm seting up both of them at the same time I wanted to get rid if this problem.
I had never considered it to be a problem to colourmanage a dual setup, since my previous was never that well planned.

It is difficult to find a display that is up to date and features this aspect ratio.
That's what I thought. I did however check out the "FAQ" before posting and the question was listed.

I need more information about the kind of work you want to do. Is the environment color managed and are you using color aware applications?
80% - I'm working with photoshop, painting. Some of the work will go out to print, if it matters. I like to have a big space to work with, which is why I've checked out the Dell.
I work with photoshop, maya, after effects. I'm not sure if these are colour aware applications.
20% - Using it as a substitute for a TV. I threw out my TV and I want something to watch movies, generally browse art and play console games. The Dell seemed like a good choice due to the size and all the inputs.
My secondary monitor will mostly be used for games and other faster applications, which is why I've had a CRT before. My priorities are that it will work good with the primary one (as I tried to explain earlier).

Do you really need a display with wide color gamut (as the DELL) - a display with a native color space similar to sRGB can have advantages too.
I'm sorry but I'm not sure what this means. Is one of the monitors a special one?
