Hello David,
I did my research too. I got U2410 recently but I am planning to return it due to heavy brightness. Leaving it, the only options in the budget range are U2312HM. True 8 bits are expensive and slowly getting replaced with LED back lighting.
Only 24″ come in 16:10 – You may have to move your head hear and there. I felt it little big for my view. All 23″ come in 16:9. If you do more of layers and want to have the extra bit of a screen then 16:10 is the way to go.
I would suggest to check it out for the size and go for it.
Cheers
Vinod
Thanks
