any comments on color accuracy and gamma etc.? it caught my eye because not only is it a lot cheaper, according to the TFT review it's on par if not better than the ultrasharp in some areas. connectivity is not important to me, I want a larger IPS panel to edit photos on; on a budget of course. my old ultrasharp is portrait mode permanently for web browsing.
He got the IPS236V (not the IPS231P that's on TFT), which uses the same panel/backlighting setup, but have different feature sets (IPS236V is tilt-only, has HDMI input, touch-panel controls, and a much nicer-looking bezel).

As per the review of the 231P, it's not perfect out of the box for colour-critical work, but it still looks good for gaming, movies, etc. You'll probably get a calibration tool if you're doing photography anyways (my friend isn't and is fine with it uncalibrated), so it should be fine.

This is the one he got:
