Is the Dell still covered by the 3 year wty?
If so, get it replaced. I had the same thing happen to a 24" IPS Dell some years ago, they sent an advance replacement then collected the faulty one a week later.

I have no idea what an NEC Multisynch costs, but the difference between an hd and a 2560 x1440 is just incredible. Well worth giving up an addiction for. In my case, it was ciggies I have a Dell Ultrasharp 2560x1440. Regardless of whether I'm on my laptop or PC, I do all my pic processing on the big screen, unless I am travelling.

Suggestions on the cheaper end would be very welcome. I currently have a Dell but it's developed strange patches on either side of the screen so I guess it needs replacing.

Some very good alternatives can be had to the NEC at far more reasonable prices, and a little research here, can help you choose your next screen.

I too currently have a Dell and if service is a priority to you in case of failure then Dell should be first choice again, but there are lots of excellent alternatives on the site too. Good luck with your choice

If you don't want to spend a fortune, the Philips 227E4LH is a most excellent monitor with comprehensive calibration that ends up spot on. Under £100 from Currys. I have been more than happy with this monitor.

I use the Dell IPS monitors and they have a very crisp but gentle-on-the-eye image. Most TV screens are far too contrasty, as to be honest are the Apple displays, detailed though they are.
The optimum is always the tool designed for the job, although we can always manage with less if needs be.
