Must be height adjustable. Must be glare free. Must have a solid base.

Must have at least 1200 vertical resolution

I would suggest the Dell UltraSharp 2412M, which is IPS and has 1200
pixels vertical resolution (if my memory works well)

Cheers,

HP makes a nice 24-in IPS 1200x1920 that has a fully adjustable and
pivot stand
HP ZR2440w
runs in the $350-$400 range.
I have a non-IPS HP version similar to this one and I totally love it.

which is why I'll probably avoid buying dell at all costs given that
quality controls are lax
and brightness is inline with sugar amount in american yogurts

I have a Dell U2410
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...n&sku=320-8277
I check its color calibration at regular intervals using a Spyder3. It
has always been almost exactly right and has shown negible drift over
the 2 or so years that I have owned it. You are right: it's standard
setting is slightly too bright but that is easily fixed through the
controls.

I had an earlier model of the same general specification.
Unfortunately it intermittently developed a set of 1-pixel wide
vertical lines. I telephoned Dell and within about 20 hours they had
delivered a brand new replacement monitor (my present monitor).

I can highly recommend them.

Here I have a Dell ultra sharp 1905 FP 19" which I have had since 2005
(made week 38/2005) its a nice screen but as you say too bright as a
standard gamma. I now use this as a spare test monitor when I build or
repair PC's but it still works just too small.

The other consumer Dells were not as sharp.
