In short, they rave about the new Dell 2408 saying: "Simply put the colors and

color accuracy of the Dell 2408WFP absolutely blew us away. If you're an imaging

professional and you're using Windows (we have heard there can be some issues

with high gamut LCDs under Mac OS X, particularly with the Safari web browser),

this is the best LCD we've tested so far. Perhaps more surprising is the fact

that you can pick it up for only $600 (at least with the current sale -- MSRP is

usually $700). Top that off with a 3-year manufacturer warranty and you've got a

delicious LCD soup ready to serve up."

 

All in all I've found the Anandtech reviews to be the most consistent and

comprehensive reviews out there.

I purchased one of these in February and was so impressed with it that I purchased a second a month later for my office location. Excellent edge and fine detail. Excellent color accuracy with calibration displaying a full range of tones with subtle gradations.

Is this a wide-gamut display? If so, how do you get around the problem of non-color managed apps (in other words, almost everything on the web) displaying incorrectly if you have the monitor set to AdobeRGB?

 

Or is the 2408 a more standard gamut display, more suitable for what is still an sRGB world?
