So I recently purchased a DELL U2410 24" LCD display to complement the existing DELL 2209WA 22" LCD. As I do a lot of graphics / web design work that requires very accurate colour representation, the DELL monitors certainly come up with the goods! They are both h-IPS (In Plane Switching) panels, as opposed to the cheaper TN (Twisted Nematic) type which is most commonly found these days.
The main benefit of IPS panels is that it provides excellent viewing angles, and this particular DELL U2410 also provides full coverage of the sRGB colour space with 10bit colour processing, meaning that it's capable of displaying lots of colours accurately!
I calibrated these displays, and you can also do this with your monitor. Firstly, install the WCS colour profile which is supplied by the manufacturer (also available via Windows Update). Then calibrate the brightness, contract, and gain levels for each channel, Red, Green, and Blue - Windows 7 users can use the Monitor Calibration tool found under the Control Panel area (or type "dccw.exe" in the start bar). I found this website provided some valuable tests: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/ also.
