Leonard,
Take the 245BW. It's pure crap. There are no angles I can find where I can
assess the color consistently. If I move my head a little sidewise, I get a
different color. So, if you're serious about the decisions you make about
color, and if you happen to use a monitor a lot for retouching color then go
for a panel other than those cheap TN. I believe the 245T uses a better IPS
or PVA panel.
