I recently picked up two 6-month-old Dell U2410s for $300 on Craigslist (a
smokin deal) and haven't had any issues.  I use two Eizo CE240Ws at work,
and while they are the gold standard in my opinion, the Dells certainly get
me far enough for personal work and photography at home.

Hope this helps!
