Greetings,
I would like to ask what monitor you would recommend for a designer? As for the budget I would say $200-250, unless you can’t get a good quality for that budget.
Currently I have a LG Flatron E2341 23” and I’m totally satisfied. Good quality, colors and large display.
But, I want to buy a Dell UltraSharp U2713HM 27”. This, I think is better for design. Hope to buy it this spring.
I’ve got two 21.5” hd gaming monitors, brilliant for colour and really nice to use
I plan to upgrade to 27” edge to edge soon 
A great VA Led monitor, perfect for designing after a 5 min color calibration…not so great for gaming though.
Dell UltraSharp U2312HM / dont buy it!!!
I only use a macbook for my designing work
I would love to have an external extra monitor though…
I’ve been using Samsung 2233BW for years, I’d like to upgrade to LG EA93 29” this year. It has Cinemascope aspect ratio, that’s why I love it.
eizo flexscan s2431W love it so much! after 4years running 24/7 it somehow broke, just called eizo, 2 days later someone replaced it with a new one 
Apple 27’’ Cinema + my 15in MBP Screen.
