CheersI'm a bit confused in here because of my shitty new monitor. Which I'm going to dump.

I've never had a widescreen beforeand I've never had such a crappy inconsistent display before. This is the second monitor I've tried out in 2 days and they both had the same problem. I've now learned that it's a consequence of the type of panel they use, which is a TN panel. The top 4 inches of the screen are darker and more colour-saturated than the rest and it's driving me crazy.
I've just ordered another monitor, a 19" 4:3 Viewsonic which I think will be a better type of panel.

YeahI was on the phone with Dell earlier and the guy was trying to sell me a 30" widescreen. He kept on and on about how high-spec it was and in the end I had to cut across him and say, "yeah, yeah, it sounds great but the thing is it wouldn't fit on my fucking desk".

Sucks :/Good luck with finding a better one.
I quite like mine, but it's not widescreen.

Yeahthe main problem here is that it's almost impossible to buy a monitor that isn't widescreen. I don't like widescreen ratio for working. I much prefer 4:3

I was lucky enoughand forked out enough money for, an S-IPS screen. You're unlikely to get one now but a PVA screen (I promise I'm not making this up) would be almost as good on colour evenness.
For widescreen monitors this is the best resource I know of for determining the panel type. I know of no similar resource for 4:3 screens, however.
How good is the colour evenness? about CRT level!
(however I should point out that it has feckloads of backlight bleeding which looks very bad in dark scenes - an LED screen shouldn't suffer from this)
