I've been looking at getting a new display (just about anything's better than a 17" CRT), though I work part time as a photographer which means I need something with a decent gamut and color accuracy. Only having $700 or so to spend, an Eizo or LaCie panel is sadly out of the question.

I was thinking about getting a S-PVA panel Dell 2408WFP, as I've used the 2407WFP's at school and liked them.

That seemed the best panel I could get for $700, though I've recently heard of S-IPS panels in the $700 range:

DoubleSight DS-265W - http://www.provantage.com/doublesight-ds-265w~7DBLE00K.htm
HP LP2475W - url?

Anyway, what is your wise opinion on the matter?
 
Planar PX2611W or Doublesight 263/265. Check the threads on each for more info.
 
I got a HP LP3065 for less than $700 on Ebay. Came with 1 yr warranty and it was a flawless screen. Might be an option for you.
 
The DoubleSight DS-263N might be in range, the Planar PX2611W is a bit out of it heh. The HP LP3065 is waaaay outa my budget, as ebay isn't something I'm willing to risk on something like this.
 
This is very sad. Recently my bro has had an opportunity to use my Dell 2007 WFP S-IPS and caught the viewing angle bug. I've not kept up w/ displays in awhile, but it seems he will have to pay $$$ now.

Is this something we generally feel is too risky for ebay or even a forum purchase then?

It's too risky for me personally, of course I don't speak for anyone else here heh :)
 
I don't think you can go wrong with the DoubleSight DS-265W. If you have the money, I wouldn't hesitate.
Unfortunately it's way over my price range. My budget for a new screen is maximum 300$ :(
