Out of the Blue

My situation with one of the monitors in my dual-monitor setup has deteriorated to the point where it's making me crazy. The expensive, yet out-of-warranty, monitor has taken to flickering a majority of the time, and I was finally forced to act, as it's making my work very difficult. I would gladly get a twin of my other monitor, a large but inexpensive Hanns that's been great, but it seems to be no longer in production. I found a similar model and ordered it from Newegg, and I think this is just in time, as the new monitor will match the old one's 1920x1200 resolution, but it seems like a vast majority of flat-panels are now 1920x1080, even when they are as large as these (27.5"). It would be nice if the new monitor arrives before E3 hits full swing, since this is really slowing me down, but I think I probably ordered it too late.

I use a pair of Dell U2410's here at work that are excellent though they are not exactly cheap.

The Dell Ultrasharp U2311H's go on sale frequently for $200-220, have IPS panels, very fast response and low input lag. They are unfortunately 1920x1080 but are otherwise the perfect consumer monitor. They are fine for gaming too, I use two of em at home. If there is one thing Dell does do well, it's subcontract LG to make good monitors for them
