"Dell Small Business offers the Dell UltraSharp 2408WFP 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $439. Apply coupon code "WKF35JP9FR9BLQ" to drop it to $395.10. With free shipping, that ties a deal from last month for the best total price we've seen on this display. Sales tax is added where applicable. The 2408WFP sports a native resolution of 1920x1200, 3,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 6ms response time, has a tilt and swivel mount, plus one upstream and four downstream USB ports. It also features one HDMI, two DVI-D with HDCP, DisplayPort, component, VGA, and other video inputs."

If you want to pay the premium (i think its a rip off) then the Apple cinema display will pair up nicely with your mini.
But, for real value and a selection of different connections the dell 24" is unbeatable. plus if you ever get a new computer you can connect it easily without buying adapters.
personally, i have a samsung syncmaster 2493hm, its a full 1080p display with dvi, vga, hdmi, 10000:1 c-ratio and a 5ms response time. i love it.

$ is not an issue, however I looked at the 24 and 30 Displays at the Apple store, I still think they are overpriced, but the 24" if it were $500 I would buy it but not for $700-900 no way I can get two monitors for that kind of cash. I just looked at the HP 24" and the new Gateway they are nice and fairly cheap, I would consider the Dell but I have not been able to see one in person.
+1 for Samsung.
I also was looking at the Dell monitors and really liked them but ended up getting a SyncMaster T260 about a year ago (25.5", DVI, HDMI, etc) for less than the 24" Dell and am very happy with it. The newer 24" and 26" versions (T240HD and T260HD) are $305 and $375 respectively at Amazon.
Lucky you!
I'm still on a HP 15" TFT which my other half bought about 4 1/2yrs ago as a factory refurb.
Must say though, it may be getting a bit small, but its got no dead pixels, still working happily and even had DVI!
Hopefully Christmas will see me treating my mini to a better view of the world. but I expect more or the 19" variety.
Wheaty
Not sure what store you are looking at, but US Apple Store is reporting $599 for the refurbed 24".
