I just bought my new monitor (specs here: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HW-191DP-R&cat=MON ) and hooked it up, via analog connection, to my new dell and the photo quality is good but not great (graphic quality is fine). I know you give a little going to a flat monitor vs a typical glass-encased one, but before I give up and return the monitor I'd like to understand why its not great - is it the Contrast Ratio? my graphics card and not hooking it up via a digital connection? is there any specification you see that you think is deficient?

What is it about your pictures that look poor?
Contrast ratio is the ratio of the full white brightness to the full black brightness. Because LCDs leak some light blacks are not perfectly black. So if you have dark areas in your photos that looks slightly gray, then this might be the problem.
LCDs are also worse at colour reproduction. particularly blues and reds. So if you colours are a bit off that might be the problem.
Make sure you are running the monitor at it's native resolution. otherwise things may look blurry.
If you are running at the native resolution then what resolution were you running you previous monitor at? If it was a lower resolution then maybe you are noticing some flaws that were always there?

Dot pitch?!?!
Also, i'd question the quality of your photos too. Try some different ones and surf around the web some more.
