I had a Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP and accidentally cracked the screen, I won't bore you with the details.
Basically, I want a replacement and I'd like to order it ASAP.
This monitor will be used heavily for gaming and watching movies.
My only requirements are:
24" monitor with a 1920x1200 resolution supported
Decent contrast ratio (10,000+ dynamic) and response time
It doesn't have to have a height adjustment, but I do like the option.
Typical VGA & DVI inputs, I don't need HDMI or a USB hub, but if they don't cost too much extra, whatever.
This is what I'm looking at right now:
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 2443BWT Matte Black 24" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor with Height& Pivot Adjustments 300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1(1000:1) w/ HDCP Support - LCD Monitors
$399 Seems kind of pricey for just a 24" monitor with only a VGA and DVI input, but I've heard nothing but good stuff about Samsung monitors. I guess this gives you guys a good ballpark, I'd like for this monitor to be less than $400 which I don't think is asking too much, maybe I'm wrong.
Lastly, I'm only buying one for now. I do plan to at the very least buy a 2nd of whatever monitor I decide on to replace my 19" widescreen monitor as a secondary and donate the 19" (which I'm using as my only monitor) to a friend.
Thanks so much guys.
