Digital BW, The Print

I am reading reviews of the new Dell u2413 monitor. Has any of you hands on experience with this one?
I have a datacolor 3 spyder pro for calibration. Will that do the job?

I have a U2410 calibrated with a Spyder3: very happy. 

The new
U2413 seems to be very nice, but is LED backlighted; the Spyder 3 is not
really said to be good with LED backlight, is it?

We have one here.. To be honest I can't give it high marks in a few areas.. It's pluses are that it's cost effective but and for a graphic designer that doesn't have to have critical color I'd say it's ok also a great warranty.., yes it is backlit with LEd but it suffer from ghosting so you'd go nuts doing any video on it.  Also we are unable to get it properly color calibrated visually..It's close but does not visually match other monitors we use that just work..

 That being said.. we think we have found a monitor that is reasonably cost effective and is consistantly of high quality.. Check out the NEC P series (Professional Graphics Monitor with spectra view a 24 " would be their Nec P241W .. They have a 20" but for some reason that one has lesser specs then the 24 , 27 & 30.. So pass that one by.. So the plusses to this guy as we see it is this is a grate lens for color critical work .The screen is easily rotated to vertical and set up for vertical display.. The spectra view software is some of the best calibration software I've been exposed to.. It's easy to used , intuitive and correct when it's done. We have 4 of these screens now and the same image on all four look the same.. The spectra view software allows for multiple calibration to be stored including changed to the monitor hardware setting.. So When we calibrate we calibrat efor D50 D65 & Movie ..all are stored and when you switch the hardware does a dance and it switches to a new LUT also and it can check itself if you ask it to. I honestly can't say enough good about these.. While their not an Eizo functionally I'd say they are 99%.. A tad more them the Dell unit but worth a look.. I have a couple of clients that have switched to these and were looking at the same images these days.... kinda nice..

Spyder3 does a reasonable job with the earlier white LED backlights, which offer a standard gamut. The display you note is a cutting edge (I'm tempted to say science fiction) screen with green and blue LEDs, and a red coating. We are developing support for this new screen type with Spyder4, but, as you note, the older Spyder3 is not designed to measure these newer technologies. So, my general advice applies here a well: when buying a new generation display, prepare for the need to get a new generation calibrator as well. Fortunately the Spyder4 updates for new display types without even downloading a new version of the software.

I would try to get a U2410 instead, they are still available. Very happy with mine (and Spyder3 works fine!)

I second the choice of the NEC P24 series monitor.  The only one I have found better is an Eizo, but it cost a bunch more.

I had problems with the Dell I bought with color issues.

Has anybody any experience with the Dell U2412M. It is quite affordable (305 euro). Which is a major point for me.
I saw that the Nec P241 costs around 700 euros. Too much for me. 
And there is an Eizo EV2336 for which I cannot find any reviews. It's 379 euros.
Maybe second hand??
