IPS monitors: Viewsonic vs. Dell

I'm thinking of getting an IPS monitor for my graphics work at home. I'm stuck between the Viewsonic VP2365wb which is $290 at Newegg and the Dell U2311H, which is $320 from Dell (though, it was $290 yesterday, it appears to be off sale). I'm thinking of getting one next month, so I may be able to get a Dell sale. They're both 23" and 1080p

I'm wanting to get an IPS monitor for when I do graphics work, such as texturing (for 3D), photography work, vector graphics. The color accuracy at all angles is important to me (my current monitor looks like a different color at the bottom compared to the top due to the angle of view)

I'm also getting a 2nd monitor (as I really like dual monitor setups). In this case, I'll get a 23" TN panel for its fast response time, which should be useful for video games and the like.

From what I've been reading, neither the Dell nor the Viewsonic are particularly high end as far as absolute IPS quality is concerned. They both have certain issues, such as uneven lighting, some amount of slow response, etc. However, I'm not sure if either is that much better than the other. The ports don't matter that much to me (i.e. Displayport/HDMI). They both have DVI which is what I use in my office. I just can't decide if either has a better panel than the other.

Are there any opinions on which monitor is better between the Dell U2311H and the Viewsonic VP2365WB?

seems to be both are a wash so to speak in comparison
Then it goes to the extra factors.

Dell's Ultrasharp 3 warranty service is pretty good, they're prompt in sending you replacements if issues come along.

Now i know we had this discussion before regarding pixel resolution
IF you don't absolutely require 1080p, you may want to see if the Dell 2209WA deal is still alive.

The monitor will come out cheaper if the promo is still running, and its a better monitor than the U2311H. Not to mention a plus that its 16:10, but thats a preference thing.
I know I was considering getting the 2209WA and downsizing from 1920 X 1200 Samsung T240HD to it because its such an great deal/performing monitor, but that was before i was able to find a Ultrasharp 2407WFP for $240.00

To be honest, I'm finding that during typical 3D work, my current 1680x1050 monitor is fairly cramped. While I'd like to have a 1920x1200 monitor, they're retaining a fairly high price (which I'd rather not pay right now).

if that's the case, i'd go with the Dell purely for the warranty factor.

I have an HP IPS panel and I'm happy with it. I would probably go dell over viewsonic.

Thanks for the head's up. I was teetering on getting a Refurb for $250, but this seems like a better deal. Picked one up. If I like how it works, I may get a second.
