Jun 06 09 07:44 am Link I have a Dell UltraSharp 1800FP which I've had for about 7 years now. It still displays as well as it did out of the box. Calibration never seems to be an issue with it that I've noticed. If I had the option, I'd probably go with the same line of monitor but something bigger. I'd keep this and use it in a dual monitor setup. Jun 06 09 08:05 am Link I had a lacie that I sold, I could never seem to get it to stay corrected. I used the money and bought dual 27" Dell Tru-color ones. I've never been happier and my prints have never been more accurate.

I had the opportunity at a business to see many monitors side by side from ViewSonics to flat panels (which always tend to not be that great) etc...these SyncMasters always looked better to me.

It's a very rare unit which can maintain shadow detail properly longer than 3 years (think Artisan or Barco-class displays; possibly other high-end Trinitron/Diamondtron tubes), and other issues arise as well. They're perfectly usable for everything other than color-critical applications, but require serious workarounds if you want to even hope to use them for color-critical purposes.
