My work colleague, bought one for $329, trying to haggle down the dell guy over the web chat.. and that was the lowest price he'd go!
Then today my mate found out it was up there for $279! Went straight back on the dell website to complain haha.. he actually was refunded the difference!

That brightness, 30-40%, provides a good calibrated picture. However the catch is the flicker, described and illustrated well in a video here

+1 voteIf it's the Dell U2410, it's also a lot more expensive. Most "normal" monitors out there that use TN panels and regular old CCFL are even lower.
You also need to remember most things are designed for the lowest common denominator; since most people use "low" gamut displays, some programs and web pages may look gaudy and neon-like, since they weren't designed properly with high gamut displays in mind.

What!?! It's like the 3rd time within 2 months!
But it's a good monitor (looking at it right now!).
I feel slight regret in getting this in that I think my workflow is more suited to 1 big monitor than 2 smaller ones (I dual screen with a Benq at work).
