I'm thinking of eventually getting a 24" monitor for my home office (currently have a 20" Apple Cinema display).
details
Obviously, I want something with accurate color reproduction for photo work, but I'd also like something that has HDMI, so I could potentially plug in my PS3 or Xbox (simply for flexibility sake). I don't think I need an IPS display. I have a Dell UltraSharp U2410 at the gdgt offices that works out just fine for me. (http://gdgt.com/dell/ultrasharp/u2410/ ) Would it be worth it to pick up another for the home office, or is there something with better features and / or value?

After the 10.6.3 update, my external monitor powers down or sleeps frequently.
details
Not sure exactly what's causing it, but every few minutes my display (Dell U2410, which until now worked just fine) connected via mini-DisplayPort -> full DisplayPort has been going dark and presenting a "no DisplayPort signal" message before going into power saving mode. This has already happened about ten times today, and showed no signs of stopping, so I moved over to mini-DisplayPort -> DVI dongle -> DVI. Hopefully that will mitigate the issue. Anyone else seen this?
