Sounds good, sadly there is no reputable seller that has it in store in Sweden. The only ones that have it I wish to avoid after reading opinions of buyers.

Mine came in a box so mangled, that I could see the monitor before actually opening the box. I was amazed it work. Apparently that is everyone's reaction though. I don't know what kind of negative reader opinions you've read, but if its of that sort, I would't let it bother you.

Naa, more the kind about the retailers than the product. From not shipping stuff to horrible customer service if something goes wrong.
Thanks for the advice people, I'll look at it a bit closer this weekend based on the advice people has given. Will post my suggested monitor then and see if I missed something big. :)

I found this LP2475 at Newegg, but its cheaper (by about 100 USD) at Amazon. I don't know how much money you have to burn, but if I had some cash, and needed a new monitor, this is what I'd get.

I read a few reviews about this monitor and what struck me was several mentioning "Poor default colour accuracy". Which means I would have to configure it, which isn't something I can claim to know how to do. This lead me to look on for more screens, first seeing the S24A850DW which sadly has too much backlight bleeding (seemed great otherwise, perhaps a bit too bad default settings there as well). My search left me with the following monitors (Swedish site, yet the names are easy to spot). http://www.prisjakt.nu/kategori.php?l=s76575416 From which the Asus PA246Q seems like a good pick (perhaps I was too strict on some things I didn't really need, yet needed to cut numbers somehow).
So what does people think about the Asus PA246Q ? (Downside seems to be low contrast, yet it still seems passable.) Anybody know how annoying those rulers on the side would be?
Edit, wow hardware calibrators for monitors were that expensive. :o
bloody000:
Those "ruler slots" aren't really that noticeable.

BTW normal colorimeters don't work correctly with wide-gamut monitors. You need a meter with replaced special filters or software corrected for the larger gamut or a spectrophotometer(cheapest one being ColorMunki which I bought).
