It now seems to be more than a "rumor" . . .
It seems like Dell has ?indirectly? three days ago confirmed the existence of the forthcoming of a new display, the Dell UltraSharp 2410W.
Dell Forum Moderator ?Chris M? in a posting on July 14th, 2009 at 12:59 in a topic ?Dell Monitor Defective Pixel Policy? the following:
For UltraSharp flat panel monitors (for example, U2410, U2710, 2208WFP, 2408WFP), Dell will replace the monitor if it has ANY defective pixels as covered by the Premium Panel Guarantee.
Please note the mode number example U2410. URL for above:

And another item found on another forum there has been a Certificate No. 50153811 for a GS-Mark for a Dell u2410f, please see both URL below:

Also, note in the second UR, this new product makes use of the LM240WU4 panel, this is a LG IPS panel.
It is fairly obvious that with the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA, also an IPS monitor, that Dell was ?too aggressive? in pricing, and positioning this new 24? model is going to be ?tricky? as the closest competition is the IPS based HP LP2475w and Dell own S-PVA based UltraSharp 2408WFP. Moreover, this area could become even more competitive if the LG W2420P is imported to North America.
From another source, ordering should be mid-August, with delivery by late August.
Also there was a second ?hint? about another new model UltraSharp 2710W, is this the ?refresh? for the UltraSharp 2709W?
I think August 2009 is going to be real fun . . .
