Yep, that's the one.
About £550 from Dell Direct (though you can apparently haggle them down a bit).

Was tempted on Wednesday to buy it, but I'm having seconds thoughts due to the 40-50ms Input Lag (Normal Mode).
But there is a Game mode (similar to Samsung TVs to by-pass the picture processing to reduce the lag, but you lose picture quality / colour range) which may drop it down to 20-30ms.

But I'm maybe looking at the HP LP2475w (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-003-HP&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat=), which was recommend by someone in the OCUK Forums for Gaming over the Dell U2410.
Sort of a coin toss decision.

Which is more important:
Better Picture Quality & Colour Range (HP, Picture / Video)
or Reduced Response / Lag (Dell, Gaming)

If it was me, I would go for the Dell, i've had Dells in the past and they have been awesome, still got one I use for me cameras now.

Plus the Dell has the defective pixel policy on that panel .

Dell for me, and are not buying it for the picture quality? if not just get a cheaper panel with faster response and less lag.
