The Dell Ultrasharp u2412m arrived yesterday, had a little time setting things up (default colors are swell, had to tone down the brightness and contrast though (running at 35 brightness, 75 contrast right now. Any suggestions which feels more pleasant to the eye?), and using this as a standard, I can honestly say...
the Cintiq is freakishly bright, no wonder my colors seem too dark when I look at them on the main monitor.

Anyway, aside from the overall color improvement, I'm also happy with the USB ports worked into the screen. Perfectly useable as a hub for my keyboard and mouse, along with two sideports for temporary devices such as a webcam or smartphone.

Yay, disposable income! <3
