Anyone have one of these and have it calibrated in? I want another 1920x1200 display, and the price on these 245BW's is hard to pass up. I haven't seen one in a local store.

I have one and have relegated it to my office desk where it is an external monitor for a MacBook Pro, for normal business functions like spreadsheets and documents etc. I ran it side-by-side on my Mac Pro with my 23" Cinema HD and calibrated it with a ColorVision Spyder. I was unhappy with the results. It looked washed out and I could never get it to look satisfactory. If it's for image work, definitely not, but for iTunes, Mail and the like, then its decent for the price and features.

I have the 215TW which calibrates very well. Not the cheapest, but also not that expensive.

Thanks, guys, that's why I asked. Usually the cheap ones don't calibrate, and my big displays have to be useable for image editing. But $450 for 1920x1200? Man, that's getting downright affordable...

I'll look at the 215TW, but if it's significantly more expensive, then the ol' Apple Cinema still wins.
