24" Gaming Monitor - suggestions?

WellyJ

Want a second 24" LCD, and it seems hard to know what to go for.

Dell have just replaced there 2407WFP-HC with the E248WFP

Which seems slightly cheaper and there doesnt seem to be any reviews about it?

Basically I want it to have fast response, no ghosting, nice black levels, HDCP, 1:1 pixel mapping

Any ideas?

Yeh its supposed to be a nice screen but it doesnt have 1:1 Pixel mapping so 1080p wont display as well as it could,

Basically I want the best 24" available

Old Dell had problems with ghosting (not mine tho) but it's still better than the new ones which use TN panels...

Yeh i was pretty disappointed when i checked the specs of that new one out,

I dont get it, replace a monitor that is inferior and charge less for it.

Why not keep the older model too?

Was looking at that but its over a year old now,

Has a pretty slow response time compared to newer monitors,

In fact, the only thing outstanding about it seems to be the price

They haven't replaced the 2407, just offered a cheaper alternative. The E248 doesn't have an adjustable stand as well for example.

It's still on other Dell sites:

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/category.aspx?c=us&category_id=6761&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs

Probably just out of supply, or don't deem Ireland good enough for a better quality monitor Overclockers still do them all and cheaper than dell.ie
