I got the 24" Samsung SyncMaster B2430. Samsung has the best picture quality in my opinion and this model also has HDMI. Got it at NCIX for roughly $180-200. I think it was on sale at the time though http://ncix.com/products/?sku=60355&...acture=Samsung |

Please don't bring up any LCDs under $200. You're just making yourself look silly in this discussion.

U2410 is a better choice if you care about the colour and spec. Otherwise just get the 2412. I just purchased a U2412 to replaced my BenQ G2400W, it's day and night. I love it.
However, it would be a lot better if there's a "SOURCE" button, switching between PC and xbox360 need to click a lot of buttons

| Dell UltraSharp U2412M 24” IPS Monitor Review - Page 8 Quote: |
Before we being let’s preface the results by saying the U2412M is not meant for professional gaming. With an 8ms response time, the Dell can certainly be used in this area but it exhibit an occasional dropped frame or “hiccup”. This is the nature of the IPS beast but it will rarely –if ever- be noticed by the end user. To our eyes there is very little difference but you may feel differently, and we strongly recommend trying one before buying as some people are more sensitive to this kind of issue than others.

BTW it's crazy how aggressively Dell's been discounting the 2312hm...it was a steal when the 2311 dropped to $240...now on RFD you can get its replacement for $180 after coupons

I have a 27" and I find that my productivity when working on one monitor isn't as great as when I have dual monitors. Even with the snap to screen functionality in W7, I still find it difficult to work with. Managing your windows is much easier for me with two monitors.
With the 27" (Im going to assume we are talking about the Dell U2711) .. many websites are not designed to support the large 2560 x 1440 anyways.
It's a matter of preference I guess.

flip a smaller 20"+ in vertical mode and browse on that. it's been the best thing done to my productivity if you need to browse a lot or scroll thru documents
