So what's the best widescreen monitor then to use as your preview window?

The new 24" Benq? The Dell 24"? The Samsung?

Or maybe an Eizo. Dylan have you made any progress in this dept. yet?
Thx.

Recently got rid of my two 19" 4:3 LCD monitors and replaced them with one 30" Ultrasharp Widescreen Dell LCD - 2560 x 1600 (coupled with a Palit 7900GS Dual-DVI card).

I probably haven't increased my screen real estate - but the fact that I don't have the plastic sides between screens makes a huge improvement. Editing with PPRO2 on it would be an absolute joy if it didn't keep crashing.

Pretty darn nice and just cost me $1800AUD.

I use a ColorVision Spyder2 Express to get my colours kosher - I don't have a separate monitor to preview.
