Read this thread: //www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=258305&highlight=ip&page=1 From what I can gather, the 24 inch Dell doesn't use the same panel technology as the 20.5 inch, according to EddyG.

Apple's are so so with color. Lacie and Eizo are the best LCD's out right now. Look at spending 1500-2500 for a 21".

Uh I'd beg to differ, I have the 20" Apple Cinema Display and the colour is spot on. I calibrate it with a Spyder Pro and the before and after are not very much different.

I'd beg to differ that too.

Lacie's use a 10 bit gamma correction and Eizo's use a 14 bit (16 times more accurate than 10-bit processing). The Lacie show's 72% NTSC, The Eizo show's like 92% +.

The apple monitors (for critical color work) are laggin behind these two.

The Dell Ultrasharp 1905FP and the Samsung 193P use the same LCD screen, both made by Samsung.

Brent is right...Our studio has all mac hardware but all Eizo monitors. The Cinema displays are very nice..just not close enough for pro work in a lab type environment.

More colors then the eye can see. As far as the ergonomics go, I wouldn't know. The 20" and the 23" ACDs I have hooked to my computer are the older clear case types. No problems with ergonomics.

The lack of color ajustments doesn't bother me. Anyone who owns one of these more then likely has a Spyder. If they don't they should. All the ajustments anyone could ask for and more with the Spyder Pro. When I print from my Epson 7600 my colors look identical to what is on my monitor. Isn't that what really matters?

All things considered, if you are looking for the "best" the Eizo may fit the bill, but the bill will be close to $700 dollars more for a 21" Eizo over a 23" ACD. Best for the money?

Nobody mentioned price limits, simply what is the best LCD monitor :-D

This is what sits on my desk at work.

EIZO NANAO ColorEdge CG210-BK 21.3-inch Color LCD

But it costs comewhere around $2,700 :-(

I use a 21" Sony CRT at home because I have been spoiled by the stuff at work and I have had it for 4 years before "21 LCD's were even close to being affordable.

I already had a 20" Apple LCD on my iMac and I liked it so much I got a 20" Apple Cinema Display for my PC as well. Neede a new graphics card with DVI but it was worth it.
The Cinema Display may be a bit pricey but it just looks soooo good !

You'll just be able to see more of the adobe '98 color gamut. I surprised you use the older apple LCD's, the new ones are much better.

The Apple wide screen and the Dell 2005FPW is the same LCD screen, just some of the mechanics are different. Dell just lower the 2005FPW to $463 today. It's in the mail to me know for a try.

Samsung 213T is a great monitor. I have tried Dell FPW2005. It had a back-lit bleeding problem, returned. The 213T displays a wider gray-scale range than FPW2005, I think. And it is a 20" panel with a 1600x1200 native resolution.

It is also the very first LCD I have ever seen that distinctively displays each level of the gray-scale bar on this site (during voting) right out of box. By the way, this monitor come with a very good color calibration software - called true-color, if you don't want to pay for a hardware solution. Its display mode is also a handy feature.
