decided to go with a BenQ E2200HD, its very similar to the E22HDA which is how i discovered it and its cheaper cant wait ill put up a screenshot when i get it lol its my birthday present (Y)
HERE IT IS I LOVE IT except for some reason i cant use the preferences to change colour profiles, i have to use the manual settings on the monitor, anyone know why that could be?
well without further wait here it is, both a screenie and a photo (and i know it is bad quality, i used my iPhone and wasnt exactly in the best lighting conditions )

umm i have a slight problem, any help would be absolutely great
the colour profiles on OS X dont seem to change the colour settings on my display, i can change it manually through my display but not through the System Preferences, why is this? i could do it on my old monitor, its just that i want Apple RGB colour profile and i cant seem to get it replicated manually

Well, Apple Cinema Display is expensive because it's made from aluminium, i guess it has LED matrix which is expensive, and...it's Apple so it has to be expensive ( i guess it's not really worth the price...but still i'd like to have one ) Anyway, If you need it just for home work, so it doesnt have to be anything special - take a look at BenQ E22HDA, it's 22,5 inch, but has 1920x1080 resolution, VGA, DVI and HDMI inputs, works quite well, looks nice, and in comparison to other brands it's dirt cheap. If you need something better, well, i dont know then
I love the apple (20") cinema display. If you have the money then I'd say its definetly worth it. Just dont let your friends throw CD's at it…
-.-
The Apple Cinema Display only has a Mini DisplayPort connector which only works with the new range of macs. Until someone releases an adapter or manufacturers start shipping graphics cards with a DisplayPort interface, you'll have to choose another i'm afraid.

Actually, E22HDA is the exact model i'm using for about 6 months now. Hope you'll be satisfied as much as i am
