That's the one I bought, and as far as image quality, it seems fine.  I 
have, however, noticed the following problems:

There is a very fine line across the monitor that I have seen a number 
of times, in Photoshop, although writing this now, I don't see it.

Lately the monitor has been flickering.  It is doing it now, and I have 
seen it using other apps like ProfileMaker.  It's as if it's going in 
and out of its profiled state or something.  Fortunately, I have not 
seen it using Photoshop.  If I did, the monitor would be unusable.

So far for Photoshop editing, which is my main use, the monitor seems 
fine, and is certainly a bargain (look at PCNation's prices!), but I 
have to say that I'm not totally trusting it.
