Sweet. Figures this would come out right after I order 4 P2411s

For $400 the gamut is quite good. The best for the 24" sub-$500 monitors, I think.

Does that mean that the U2410 is >$500 in the US? It's obviously a better monitor than the P2412.
Mind you, I can get the U2711 for a whisker over US$600 (excluding tax), so that makes the U2410 a relatively poor bargain.

Okay, I hadn't realized how weak the US dollar is, so I can see how the U2410 would be over $500. Best price here is US$521 (excluding tax), the U2711 is US$628 (ex tax).

Not really a
Color me jealous... It's >$800 here even when it's on sale these days.

The previous model (2410) had far superior features:
(1) 2410 is using H-IPS while 2412 is using e-IPS.
(2) 2410 is wide-color gamut (supports aRGB and sRGB) while 2412 only supports standard color (i.e. sRGB, right?)
(3) 2410 is 8-bit while 2412 is 6-bit.

Get the old model if you are after that size.

Thanks Pradeep, I'd noticed the far superior color gamut, but not the bit of bastardry with the 6-bit color panel. And H-IPS vs E-IPS is a giveaway.
Previously, Dell also offered the smaller, 16:9 U2311. It had just two things going for it: it was cheap and it had wider viewing angles than a TN panel. Visually, it was a long way inferior to a U2410, which makes me suspect it was an E-IPS panel.
If so, I wouldn't be touching a P2412 until they dramatically reduce the price.

Thanks Pradeep. Though that is still over $500. Looks like a good unit.
