I would favor a Dell 2408WFP ...

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-6272

It's a PVA LCD Panel, not a shit-assed TN (significantly better color).

Watch Slickdeals.net like a hawk for Dell deals, a couple weeks ago these were going for $100 off.

Samsung = too expensive

BenQ = not available.

Dell = available, ballpark price with potential for deals.

Personally, I would rather have a 24" PVA panel than a 28" TN panel.


It's a 6ms response time vs 2ms or 3ms or whatever ... not really detectable to me.

However the color quality is an extremely detectable difference. (to me)

agreed TN are crap.  You might have some slight input lag with the PVA, but the Dells constantly top out in the reviews I read.

What's sad is that the MVA matrix panels have dried up just because they were too expensive.  MVAs have great color, viewing angles, and minimal input lag.

I was concerned about the potential for input lag but took a chance anyway ... i've never detected any.

so you dont think more real estate for the race pod would be better?

of course it would, in absolute terms.

BUT  - You're talking about choosing a marginal increase in image area that comes with a significant reduction in image quality. Not worth it to me.


If you were to get something like a 37 1080p TV ... then maybe.

What video card do you have?  Would you even have enough horsepower to drive a higher resolution at a decent quality?

Why is someone without funds for MDF looking at monitors anyway?

I will have the money for the supplies on Tuesday and will start hopefully on Wednesday. I should have the funds for the monitor once i get paid for the 7 acre survey I am working on.
