I hate to say this, but the U2414H is a better monitor. Zero processing latency (not 1 frame, not half of a frame, but real world measured latency of less than 1 ms; virtually all of the gamer monitors out there are at least 1 frame and the only ones that get <half a frame are those Korean single input scaler-less IPSes), often sold for below $250 each, excellent color and contrast.
I have three on my desk.

It's 1920x1080, though, right? The U2515H is 2560x1440. That difference is far more important to me than a few milliseconds of latency (I don't play games).

Yes, but they're also often for sale for around $250. I bought three.

I got an U2515H at work last week (for use with my MBP) and am amazed at the effect it's had on my working patterns in such a short space of time. Simply being able to have documentation, browser and editor open at once and not feel 'cramped' is amazing.
My Apple Thunderbolt display has from day one had some light leakage in the lower right corner, and the ethernet port stopped working six months ago, but I'd always convinced myself it was worth the extra money over a Dell or equivalent. I'm now pretty sure it never really was apart from a brief period when they were about the only 2560x1440 displays you could get.
