Dell 2408 + Colours? Opinions required please

Hi,

I've read the TFT central review by badass and he said default colours were off but can be fixed by calibration.

I'm interested in buying this screen as its quite cheap at £387 compared to the hazro one.

So to fix the colour problem - I have a pantone huey stick - this should do a good job right? I am getting into photography and would like a high contrast display. This will be future proof?

Secondly the input lag? I already have dual LG226 WTQS for gaming so hopefully I won't game too much on it anyways.

Will be a part of a triple screen setup with the 24" in the middle.

Regards,
sid

yeah the Pantone Huey should do a good enough job at getting colours more accurate. The screen just needs some form of calibration from a hardware device as default accuracy is poor and colours are over-saturated.

the screen is very new, very high spec-ed and a good performer, so is about as future-proof as you can hope for. who knows what';s round the corner though?!
