I beg to differ. I think it's #1 Dell SP monitors and #2 Samsung Syncmasters.

All you people need to get ultramon. Having a taskbar on my 2nd screen and opening programs only there is so much better then the hastle of having everythign cluttered on the first screen.

just d/l'ed it. its cool to have taskbars on all my screens. but normally i just open programs on the main screen and drag them over, and they open there from then on..

The entire IPS versus TN debate is so simple to solve. You just have to look at honestly what you use your rig for.

Me, it's gaming. It's this reason that I not only chose a TN panel but also a 20" instead of a 24"+. I hate running games at scaled resolutions and I ain't going to spend $$$$ on uber rig to drive a game at 1920x1200. So with the 20"WS you get a respectable 1680x1050. My system can push that resolution just fine.

The TN panel also rids me of the far more annoying LCD smear than an IPS can. And since when I play games I am focused front, the color shift of TN panels is nearly non-existant.

That's all I am saying.

What is the differance between that and a DELL 2407WFP ?

The 2407WFP is what I have and I love it. It's about a year old now and still going strong. Well everything but that darn power button which is not uncommon to have the break, real pain that was. Now I have to keep it "on" all the time and use a power strip to turn it off and on.

They look pretty close to the same ?

But new rig will be going to a 30" soon.

Dude, ditto. That is why I got my SP2008WFP instead of a 24". I also turned down a 22" because the pixel pitch is bigger, i.e. same amount of pixels in more space.

True. 1440x900 still looks decent on a 1680x1050 monitor, at least on mine it does, for games like Crysis, lol.

What you would need, if you got a large screen, would be one that scaled extremely well because I know my monitor looks fugly when it isn't in 16:10/native resolution.

The *ONLY* bad thing about not getting a 24" is that with a smaller one you don't get the "full" quality of HD. They really need an in-between step from 720P to 1080P. Like 1050P, .
