"The 240PW9EB/00 is 24" in size, and offers a 1920 x 1200 resolution, 5ms G2G response time, 3000:1 DCR, 400 cd/m2 brightness and 178/178 viewing angles. The screen uses the same LG.Display H-IPS panel (LM240WU4) as the HP LP2475W and we already know what kind of performance to expect from that! The screen offers a colour gamut covering 102% of the NTSC colour space, but unlike the HP model, has more limited connectivity in the form of only a VGA and DVI-D interface. The screen does however offer pivot, height, swivel and tilt ergonomic features."

Could they have solved some of the issues with HP LP2475w and is it better to wait for this one instead of buying the HP?

New IPS monitors are always welcome but if you don't need extra connections and play games lot LG W2600HP would be another option.

I got one yesterday and haven't found any real faults from it.
Also what I did few minutes long test in "Human Benchmark" and compared results to what I got with CRT and Lenovo L220x (otherwise same rig) input lag is probably along what PRAD measured. (16ms max, near zero avg)
 
When they have the same panel.

Does that mean that they will have the same input lag?

Based on the prize in Hong Kong(?) it seems really cheap.

Philips 240PW9 - HK$3,750
BenQ E2200HDA - HK$1,690

The main reason why I would prefer this over the HP is that it in my opinion look better.

When will it be for sale in europe?

Panel could also cause input lag but mostly I would expect it to come pretty exclusively from processing/input circuitry of monitor.


From marketing point of view I would expect it to become available well before christmas.

Don't know, every single 24" IPS panel seems to have around 20-30ms of input lag, that starts to rule out circuitry being solely to blame and instead points to overdrive causing the lag.

RTC doesn't need any buffering of frames and can be done "on the fly".

The basic theory of operation is that the RTC block
intercepts the digital video stream and compares the previous gray
level command to each pixel with the current gray level command
and chooses a pre-determined alternate gray level from a look-up
table (LUT)...

As the current gray level commands arrive, the RTC logic
retrieves the previous gray level to that same element from an
external full frame FIFO memory. Simultaneously, it stores the
current gray level in the FIFO memory for use in the next frame.
The RTC controller then compares the two commands (current and
previous) for each red, green and blue element using separate
RGB look-up tables (LUTs).

Other example is zero lag Iolair with clear use (inverted ghosting) of RTC.

input lag can depend on a fair few things, so using the same panel doesnt guarantee anything im afriad. Scaling chips, electronics etc play a key role as well
 
Well it doesn't look like a monitor that costs £400 to start with, look at the large blue power LED strip slap in the middle of the bezel and the stand style - it reminds me of the OCUK 24" display design. The HP at least has all the connections and a stealthy/industrial look to it and the Dells look like they are from similar areas and the Hazro something that belongs on a designers desk like the Apple screens.
