I ended up ordering the refurbished u2311h : http://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnlineSales/Online/InventorySearch.aspx?brandId=222806&c=us&cs=22&l=en&MODEL_DESC=ALL&s=dfh
It's an IPS display, a good size, and free shipping. Thanks to everyone for their pointers and advice. At some point I hope to be able to afford the time and money to shop for what works the best, rather than just trying to find a reasonable compromise. Hell, I couldn't even really afford the compromise. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
