Hi there guys,

I'll keep it brief, I am in the market for a slightly bigger monitor to replace my 22" HP W2207 monitor. I am after a 24" model, IPS if possible and as low as possible response time.

I was looking at the HP ZR24W, but it now appears to be discontinued (but some places are still selling them). The replacement for that one is a LED backlit one; ZR2440W.

We use Dell monitors at work and they seem to be reliable, however this one is going to be mainly used for gaming. I don't want 3D so a 120hz model isn't required.

This monitor (UltraSharp U2410) seems pretty great, but it is alittle bit more expensive then id like.

Any other suggestions would be welcome.

I like the BenQ XL2420T. the TX version comes with the nVidia 3D glasses. this monitor has really good motion and input lag, it's like playing on a CRT monitor. it's also one of the better TN panels when it comes to color accuracy.

Depends if you want smoothness eg a 120ghz monitor or a better quality of picture which would be a VA or an IPS panel. Iiyama make good monitors but im not sure about availability in the USA. DELL IPS are nice but a little costly.

I dont know enough about colour accuracy or display tech to comment as you can get S-IPS, e-IPS, H-IPS ect
