I think the time has come to spring for a wide gamut monitor. I'd be interested in any positive or negative experiences people would like to share.
I had been leaning toward one of the 27" Benq monitors, which I know at least two people here use, but I think I have decided against them because of frequent reports of poor quality control. The bottom line seems to be that a majority of users are very happy with them, but the number of people with negative experiences is substantial, and the quality problems are varied. I have also thought about Dell, but I have read mixed things about them--it seems that the models have changed often over time, and while some were very good, others were problematic. I have also read worrisome things about quality issues with LG and Samsung monitors.
That leaves NEC and Eizo, but they are pricey.
If you have any experience to share, please include the model number, as there seems to be a lot of inconsistency across models within brands.
