I'm asking as I'm looking for an LCD monitor which will be good for processing pics on.

I'm very happy with it. I haven't used any kind of calibration device, all I know is that the images I print look just as they look on the screen. The main benefit to me is the improved resolution. I really can see far more detail than before, I can see many editing errors on my older images that were simply impossible for me to see before.
As for the stuck pixel I commented on I got rid of that very easily, I flicked it with my finger and it was gone.
There's a good menu structure to change many aspects of the image, including colour temperature and many other colour controls but I haven't altered any of them as the original image to me looks spot on.
I'd recommend it to anyone. It's not one of those shiny surface types, which personally I don't like. I dare say many of the current ones with a decent name on it would be just as good.
