have you thought about which colour space you are going to want to work with? are you using extended gamut content, needing to work with the AdobeRGB space? or are you just using standard / sRGB gamut content? that could make a difference.

how much money are you planning to spend?

have you got a decent calibration device as well if this screen is to be used for colour critical work?

its for the wife was looking at spending around 400 pounds shes just started up on photography so was looking at upgrading from my samsung t220 syncmaster to a better monitor to give her a good start

hi thanks for that i was looking at the 3 dell monitors the 2 24 inch and the 23 inch i believe the dell u2410 has both gamut srgb and adobe and is on this week only for 31 pounds over my budget but i could stretch a little if you think it would serve my wife better thanks

What is your wife's model of camera? The U2410 would obviously give her more flexibility if she does decide she wishes to work in extended colour spaces. But it really depends on the nature of her work. What does she 'do' with the photos that she takes?

at the moment shes got a olympus e450 which shes on about upgrading she experiments with the photos it is a hobby really she also takes pictures of friends and family and wildlife, historic buildings but is looking to get more involved in photo taking/photoshopping but not proffesional level

the extended internal processing of the U2410's panel might also provided an added benefit for colour work too, and the factory calibration of sRGB and Adobe RGB emulation modes might negate the need for a colorimeter if it's only casual use / general colour work

thats what i was thinking obviously you know a lot more about it than me and im gratefull for all the help and advice your giving me
