Mainly for gaming, which is currently considered the best?

Dell 2407FPW
Samsung SM-244T
Benq FP241W
Something else?

It will be used for a combination of everything really. probably in priority:

gaming
browsing
software development
movies

Do the above TFT's suffer from lag or ghosting?

Many thanks...

From the reviews I have read the Dell and the Samsung are about equal (Samsung meant to have slightly better colour repro) but the benq isnt out yet in the UK (for a few weeks I believe)
 
Thanks. I've found a very good offer on the Dell and may well end up getting it. It sounds like there's not much difference between them so I suppose it's down to whether the Dell is cheap enough for me to "risk" it :)
 
the fp241w does 1080p high def though, where as the dell only does 720p.

But then since that monitor aint even out, who knows whether its decent or not.

I'm quite out of touch with hi-def type things. What does the above mean please? Thanks.
 
The Benq is the only one to have a HDMI input, as well as DVI-D, D-Sub and S-Video/Composite inputs.

You should be able to hook up a couple pc's, a/v equipment and a console all at the same time.

I would really hope it has componant input as well - otherwise thats a big missed chance (in my opinion) but hdmi is a good option

If it compets for price with the new Dell price then it will be a serious bargain

It seems like it's worth waiting for the BenQ. Unfortunately I can get the Dell for a lot less than it's normally advertised for (not sure if I can mention the price?). It's a limited time offer though so I have to make my mind up in a couple of days.

How is the 2407 for ghosting and lag?
 
i've seen the dell for £656 inc vat and delivery. I'm very tempted but i dont have the money in my account until the end of the month :o


[edit] damn the mastercard I just bought one :D

I've heard the Benq has been pushed back to September 2006 in USA. Hope that isn't the case here as well!
