The Philips Brilliance series offers what it says on the tin: brilliant monitors. I have a 22" from that series and am very happy with it. Reasonably priced as well.

Since I'm in the Netherlands, I won't suggest a supplier.

Beware, once you've got used to 27" then anything else just seems to small......

I have just bought a 24" Dell Ultrasharp and am so pleased at the difference in quality. It is a 1920x1200 and photos that seemed tobe OK on my old 4:3 monitor seem so much sharper on this one. I am having to reassess quite a few pictures

I may wish in the future that I had got the 27" (for the vertical height as LF says) but for now I am happy.

I have a Dell Untrasharp and I'm not very impressed with it.
The viewing angle is a pain and if your not sitting at a perfect 90 degree to it, the highlights are off.
Can never seem to get it calibrated properley either.

There are many variations in Dell monitors that are supposed to be the " Ultrasharp " models, Its all down to the type of panel that was fitted at the various factories.....

You need to do some research on the actual panel fitted to your display, Because in general the Ultrasharp models are of the higher spec " IPS " panel types, These can be viewed from almost sideways on with only a negligable shift in colour.....

I have 2 Ultrasharp models here, They do not display the issues you mention.

In conclusion, Either you have a very dodgy model, Or you have one fitted with the inferior " TN " panel type, Because the view angle you mention is exactly what you get on a TN panel.

If you bought it recently, Take it up with your supplier, If its still in warranty, Have a word with DELL as they do a very good next day swop around service.....
