Stephen,
If you are serious about getting a monitor that has accurate, adjustable color parameters, I would look into Eizo monitors. They aren't cheap, but they are excellent. Additionally, if you are trying to calibrate your monitor to your printer, the X-Rite Color Monkey is an excellent, relatively inexpensive tool for calibration and creating profiles.

This probably has been mentioned before but I am looking to purchase a 24/23" monitor for photography, web/graphic design. My choices are between Viewsonic and NEC.
Viewsonic models that I have interest are:
VG 2436wm LED
VX 2450wm LED
VG 2428wm
VX 2439wm
VP 2365wb
NEC models
PA 241W-BK
PA 241W-BK-SV
2490wuxi2-BK
2490wuxi2-BK-SV
NEC PA and Spectra View models are more expensive than Viewsonic but is there really a big gap in color and uniformity, etc? Between them. Also video response times seem slower on NEC. I might do video. Is there much difference here as well? Viewsonic
looks nice but haven't been able to find a store that displays NEC. If anyone uses these models, I would like to hear your experiences with them.
Thank you so much.
Stephen
