The legendary Dell u2410. With unlockable 850:1 contrast ratio, nearly 100% Adobe RGB, accepts 8bit+frc 10bit input, 12bit table internal LUT, Very strong dithering color mapping hardware "For the time"
Used an extremely good red pfs-phosphor for amazingly vibrant RED primary performance.
It has Component input, Composite, 2x Dual-link DVI, HDMI, and Displayport, 3.5mm audio jack, 4x usb hub + card-reader
It was around $800 a piece back in 2009, $1250 inflation adjusted.
The one weakness is the CCFL Tubes, which loses brightness quite quickly due to heat. If you cranked it 12 hr days, after like 2 years, you'd lose alot of the top end blue, drop to 750:1 contrast as the screen objectively yellows.
This is why you want to calibrate it for 100 nits or so to preserve the tubes.
