Thanks LOLANG! I just ordered two today from your contact. Even though there's a big debate about whether it really is better than the u2410, the price certainly makes it a win in my books.
I was originally debating between the 2410 and 2412, but this thread has helped me settle on the 2412. I suppose I'll buy a third monitor when I actually need wide gamut (and by then the sRGB support on those should be better too).
And it sounds like 16:9 is just a synonym for widescreen in...
