here's what i've been waiting for--an ips panel with a standard gamut for a low price. it's around $200!
here is the monitor on dell's website:

this is the 2209wa on the left and a typical TN lcd on the right. notice the difference in viewing angles:

it also does not exhibit a pinkish hue on blacks from an angle:

this is selling for over $500 in europe. it's an amazing monitor for the price. it has a standard gamut, so it doesn't exaggerate colors (it doesn't make normal photos look like an over-saturated disney movie), which makes it great for graphics work.

Too bad it's not 24. VERY good find.
aw man, I want one.
I just wish it had just a bit higher res. I have a 20in wide with the same res and feels a little tight with side by side windows. I don't know if it matters that much because if I got a replacement I would go dual ;)
Just shell out for the HP LP2475w
