Go for the IPS displays. It's a great price, and the difference compared to TN is ridiculous. This u2410 i have now is the first IPS i've ever owned, and i love it. I doubt I'll buy TN ever again.

Samsungs are great monitors, but it's still TN. If you were staying with a single display, I probably wouldn't try so hard to convince you , but since you're going after a multi-monitor setup, GET THE DELLS. Uhh.. i assume they have the VESA mount - all Dells I've seen, do.

You have no real reason to NOT get the Dells.

Be sure to post some pics when you get it all set up.

I've used dell monitors for my last two monitor setups. I love dell monitors. I just got my first IPS a few weeks ago, and I can never go back. TN's just don't have the color I like.

I really like the Dell monitors too. I see on their site as mentioned earlier
that the Dell Ultra Sharp 2209WA 22inch is on sale for $279. Maybe tax
and shipping. I don't know. But that's a great value. For sure the color is
super with these monitors.

I just bought 2 more Dell G2410H 24inch monitors to allow me to finish my
3x1 Eyefinity setup, but knew I wouldn't be as happy as I "could be" with the
color of this less expensive,but less performing choice. I already had one of the monitors and wanted to have all 3 the same etc. And before I was using a single Samsung TV with much better color. I'm happy with what I have because it fit my budget, and as long
as I don't have to compare with the better Ultra Sharp side by side, I just pretend :).

After I paid sales tax etc these 3 24" monitors cost about $250US each. And with three
24" 1920x1080 monitors that all good, just not as good color--I'll save up for next time.

But I'm happy with it. Goodluck. Hope you can swing the ultrasharp units for your needs/they're the best looking that I've seen. Course I haven't seen everything.

Any updates? Were you able to choose what brand of monitor are you going to buy?
